From doing some research on-line, I believe that my car is a first edition Edinger. Here is a photo that shows one of the 7rib Goodyear Tires.

"too nice to be a runner"? It jumps a lot better than the kyosho....though my son, doesn't like it & calls it the geriatric car :lol: No, I know that some of the parts on this, make it a first edition & maybe we shouldn't be playing with it, like we do. But, we are working with what we have and trying to get enough cars for my son & I & his 3 best buddies, to have cars to run. This came with a big batch of used parts that I was able to pick up at a reasonable price.

I've lightly run all my old cars but I wouldn't really consider them runners, my B3 and T3 are the real runners. My graphite Stealth gets the most runtime among the the older cars I have. With that said I have to agree with RC104ever, if I owned an edinger I wouldn't run it just restore and shelf it. Tons of RC10's go for cheap, I remember I bought my a-stamp cadilac for around 100 bucks. Just my 2 cents.
