-The "golden opportunity"-

Well, I must say I've been lucky on this one, the rolling chassis was badly listed and few people were watching it.
Just look at this beauty, with finely painted "box art" body, wing and driver. Two minor scuffs on the chassis, almost a new build! I remember seing that paint scheme somewhere on an ad, but just can't find it back. Any help?
It's just amazing how cheap you can still find a '10 as compared to the NIP parts you have to find and struggle to win when you buy a basher you want to restore. I guess that the body alone would sell for what I've paid for the entire buggy... Hopefully none of those "Epay chop-choppers" had seen it...
PS: sorry Lennard

Wow David, excellent score! The paint scheme is from the inside of the assembly manual.

Thanks guys, I already had a new built gold tub, but I just can't resist when I see a beauty like this one for a ridiculous price
Thanks for the tip temple, I knew I saw it many times somewhere

the paint does look familiar. Is it the same as the rc10 on the Pactra Lexan Paint racks?
Now I've got another excuse to go to the LHS: "research"

aaaah, you're absolutely right, I use to visit a LHS here that still has the Pactra shelf on the desk and each time I go there, I say to myself, wow that RC10 is SWEET, I think it also has the chromed Proline rim covers... But, like temple said, the paint scheme can also be found in the early manuals, though in black and white I think...

well, I guess there are days like today where you are really pissed off about things and so happy about others, that is just life I guess
Now, look what the postman has just brought. The pan car will be for sale, can someone tell me what it is? and the Graphite will make the object of a new thread (I have a killer project for it).
