RC10 Identity Crisis

Hi, I'd like to further identify this RC10 Gold Pan.

How can I tell a re re from vintage?

Thanks in advance...

many things identify it, but foremost:

White CE arms were never rereleased
your noseplate had stamped AE lettering, rere looks machined
4 hole front tower (early CE only) was not rereleased
bottom load shocks were not rereleased
shock ball ends are not rere style
on center front axles were not rereleased in steel
tub on rere has no stamp
your screws are not Christmas tree green lol

look over the "25 years of the rc10" thread (https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=13059) for more info. What you have is an early 6011 CE kit.

"Pretty nice condition"??? That thing is practically MINT! Especially compared to mine..............

Awesome.. thanks guys, that RC10 timeline is a credit to the group, extremely detailed.

This CE edition certainly is in very good condition and I'm very proud of it.

It's almost like AE did a re re in the early 90's after the Tq and Graphite editions!!

It's a runner with the Futaba MC112B ESC and Futaba FP-S148 Servo all in working order with a Reedy Elite Stock motor installed, all period correct.

All controlled with a Futaba Magnum Jr transmitter & FP-R102GS receiver.

Thanks again for the input..
