“aftermarket” RC10 gold chassis pan

[juicedcoupe]

That makes the 40th anniversary car seem like a bargain.

If you wanted a six gear, short arm car, with so-so tires.

Looks like BS to me. If there actually are 4 available tubs, they are probably rere tubs from the blow-out AE did last year... or the year before.

Some photoshop BS on that nose too.

I find nothing wrong with offering replacement parts.
If they are made using tooling that AE owns and without their permission, then obviously that's a problem.

With a bit of luck they are from the "lost" molds from the first re-re

Comparing the 2013 re-re to the current RC10CC chassis, the quality of the stamping on the 2013 is slightly better IMHO, likely due to some amount of post processing, deburring, etc. after the stamping process. Now the quality of the anodizing on the 2013, that is up for debate

We'll see what the 40th anniversary chassis holds....

Ships out of Cali ?? Description reads like far east….

If these are legit, guaranteed they are coming from somewhere in Asia, the Cali address is just likely a shipping point domestically.

Except anno color and no letter stamp. Oh, were re-re tubs stamped?
Anyway, seller knows how to use Photoshop so it probably is BS.

Yeah, the "lost molds" theory crossed my mind as well.
Did you buy a 40th? I'd like to see a full detailed review, how it compares to previous releases, etc.

I agree.

Unfortunately, everything comes from Asia these days. Nothing is made in America in 2024.

2013 re-re was not stamped.
