Pics are being uploaded now. Whats "B" Stamp?
saw a stripped gear in the tranny, hopefully I can find a replacement.

Edit: Pics will be full size about 2.3MB each.

Edit again: Looks like I need full bearing set, and some tires (Dry-rotted after sitting 15 years) Looks like the bushings in the tranny wore out. Probably caused the stripped gear.

The stamp is located back by the transmission. It is most likely an "A" due to the lack of stealth transmission mounting holes.

You have an "A" stamp chassis

It's clear in photo 5 and 21


The stamps are as follows:

No Stamp ( light gold) Very first gen
A Stamp ( light gold) first gen
A Stamp (gold) 2nd gen
AB Stamp (gold) 2nd gen with Stealth holes added
B Stamp (black or gold) 3rd gen with Stealth holes
C Stamp (black) Worlds Light weight (milled)
C Stamp (gold) CE chassis ( unmilled)

Know where I can get bearing kit for it?

However potentially enlightening the stamp list my be, it really does not clarify for a newer member, what he has. Light gold/gold 1st gen 2nd gen is a bit much without a pictorial reference to go off of.

But it is a really nice RC10 Championship Edition, all points seem to show that it was not modified and even has the correct front and rear tires for the car.

Nice score

Is it a defect if it was stamped with an A twice? one almost on-top of the other, 1 isn't as deep.

2 I was watching on ebay went for $54 and $66. Not great condition, but they would have been good for driving/bashing.
