I'm beginning to learn about the different progressions the original RC10 undertook during its production. I was lucky enough to view an incredible collection of RC10s over the weekend, including several early, light gold pan Edingers.
From my visit, I now understand the smallest details are critical to understanding a kit's history. That leads me to why I'm posting.
I was looking on eBay and saw the auction for a late build RC10 CE, with all black suspension. On closer inspection, I noticed the black shock caps are aluminum instead of plastic. I assume, and please correct me if I'm wrong, this kit was one of the first with the all black suspension built, before the black plastic caps were available.
Or could it be a late build? When the company was running out of parts and just did a small run of aluminum caps to finish the remaining kits?
This post might be pointless. But being new to the RC10 hobby, I thought I would share to see if anyone had further knowledge on the topic.
