RC10CE, thanks Shodog.

Post by Synergy »

I know this car is old to you guys but it’s new to me, it’s my RC10CE :D . I have just received it from the U.S. and it's had a long journey. Some (if not all) of you will recognise it, as it is very distinctive and has been posted before. This car is a credit to Shodog, (as I’m sure you are aware he was the last owner), it’s absolutely stunning and goes straight to the top of my shelf. I will in time refurbish the body as it has a number of little marks (any advice on how best to do this would be gladly accepted) and some of the decals (pin stripes) are coming away of which I was aware. I can not explain how please I am with this Associated it's awesome. I won’t post loads of pics as I think you have all seen it before and please be kind when telling me I’ve got the wheels on upside down or something :? , don’t forget the newbie status. Thanks for looking.

whew, i'm glad it made it there safely. I was beginning to worry. I was sad to see it go but really I am happier with the 6016 I bought to replace it.

Sir, I joke not I was loosing sleep. I thought it was lost in transit, never to be seen again. I'm lost with these numbers, is a 6016 a 6 gear car because I think I have one of those?

Someone will correct if i'm wrong but the 6010 was the original and the 6016 was the original but with ball bearings.

I can remember when that was listed and it’s but now price (still kicking myself), I think the guy had a graphite for sale at the same time. It’s a top shelf car for sure, stunning! I think I saw the thread when you managed to trade your wheels (gota do what, you gota do :) ) it would be nice to see the new ones on.
