Would it be possible to add which wing came with each version?

I thought they were the same until the CE and Team car? I may be wrong on this, if you have any info I would love to know?

OK, mainly I wasn't sure if the graphite came with the 6184 too. I was assuming so from the description of the CE showing the new wing but then I was thinking maybe it meant new as in a change from the graphite-CE and not necessarily new as in first time changed since the beginning. Thanks for the confirmation.

I recognize that car! #35/35. I got #5.

According to the seller, these cars were from a school in Quincy Il.

Yeah mine most definitely has dyed parts: battery holders, rear body mount, transmission case, wheels (i think), some of the ball cups too :]

I remember seeing the eBay auction with the 6 or so cars that all had holes top and bottom on the 6 gear transmissions. Are these those cars? Looks like it in the pics

yep i got it on epay there were 38 i think. I got a futaba magnum jr radio and high speed servos that works awesome the only thing that was dyed on mine were some of the ball cups. the other bad, was diff shaft is stripped ( going to make it 4-40 thread ) still has bushings, mismatched springs, maybe they ran oval, right front bushing was toast. tires looked new only good for the shelf queen, hardened rears had flat spot and cracked from sitting.

also had a sticker that said property of Community H.S. Dist. #99 south
assigned to 10th period table 2 seat 3
68 signal and the names of the 2 people that used the buggy

as far as the screw in the top i did that way back in the day to spray some lube into the trans and the screw on the bottom of the pan i don't know, it doesn't go into the trans at all.

i got mine for about $60 but the last one went for about $90.

i got vintage novak esc , changed tires on rims(PITA!!!!!), bearings, batteries and body on the way.

well i have been getting mine RTR and put bearings throughout,... i think you are right everything is dyed black, but it looks good :lol: . when i was widening the hole for the outdrives ..... white at the core :? ahh well. the screw in the bottom was there to cover the hole they drilled in the transmission like the one at the top. i think this might have been done for lubrication since there were still bushings in the trans

Hey all, I dug around but couldn't find a better place so I'll just ask.
Are there records of the production numbers of the various early kits ?
I ask because I still have the box from my first RC10, hence the screen name.
Edinger with the stamped end.
Any idea how many 6000 Edingers were produced ?
I would think the 6000 was more rare than the 6010 or 6016
No, I don't have the car. A few bits and pieces... and lots of memories.
thanks
