Did I buy a worlds car?

I got this car today. Im thinking clues point to it being an earlier worlds car.

What do you guys think? The pan is milled and the stamp is a “C”.

I can take more pictures. Some of the pictures I took were too large to load.

It was advertised as a rc10b. I’ve never heard them referred to that way.

Started to clean the rims. The previous owner painted them white.
I’ll need a yellow set for the rear. Does anyone know where I can find a set of yellow for the rear?

3 piece or 1 piece? 1/4" or 3/16" rear axle? Aftermarket 1 piece rears are available. Several options here:

Frankensteined RC10T3 / Franky Jr RC10GT-e (x2) / A+ stamp / Toy Story RC / Graphite replica / B1.5 BFG 5LTi / Clonewald / Hyper Hornet

Thanks for the link. I need wheels for an rc10gt as well. I have to replace the battery in my digital caliper before I find out the axle size.
Thanks again for the link. Do you know what that era world’s car would have came with? Assuming the front are period correct with a three piece do you think the rear would have been three piece too?

The original 1994 front wheels were 3 piece and rear were 1 piece.

1/4" rear axles are 1/4" where the bearings go and smaller size where the wheels go.

3/16" rear axles are constant size.
