Correct Body for box art RC10

Post by **tizeye** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 7:02 pm

Hi I'm restoring a old RC10 and have a new body that came with it. Trouble is some prat drilled a hole in the middle of the hood..at first I thought it was for mounting but it isn't. Anyway been looking on ebay for a new one and can't decide which one I should buy. I want the buggy to look like the box art so which body is the correct one part# 6160 or 6121 the buggy is an A chassis...

Cheers

The 6160 approximates the original Protech body, although since the Chinese have started making them there are a few moulding differences. A bit of a search might give up some more information.

Ok thanks I have noticed some on Ebay saying that they are the Protech body..did Associated not make their own bodies back then?

The bodies were one of the few things that Associated actually did make in-house... Currently the majority of Associated's product are manufactured in China under the watchful eye of Thunder Tiger.
