Ascot Sprinter #1004?
after seeing the chromed out sprinters on rc10talk, i just couldnt resist having one on my shelf. ive been scoping to purchase one and rebuild - and finally the one for me popped up on ebay. i think it may have belonged to a new member here looking for a "whats it worth", but im not 100% sure. anyway, it is pretty far down the assembly line for a restore right now. all i know right now, and from little research i did, is that its an ascot. were they numbered like this?
thanks.

i know the rear cage is upside down, thats the way it came before i realized it easily slipped out

Re: Ascot Sprinter #1004?
I've got one that looks very similar to this one, I have the original box still. I honestly can't recall if its an Ascot like yours. Pretty sure it is. I do not have a numbered plate though. I'll try to dig it out and post pictures sometime later. Does your car have a stealth or six gear Trans?

Wish i could just find one.I had found one but craigslist sucks for guys getn back in touch with you and it was a losi jrx series one for cheap too.Don
Re: Ascot Sprinter #1004?
ok, found car and box....I for some reason put the rear bumper/ guard somewhere else ( damned stupid kid I was) I know I have it floating around somewhere. Mine does not have an aluminum tag but the box has #98 on it. pictured were aluminum/brass headers but in the description "aluminum" was crossed out with a marker, kinda funny. heres some pics. Also, looks to go along with the early serial# as it has the six gear trans. I'm sure a person could assemble it with a stealth trans too

maybe these ascot cars just aren't too interesting to people? no one has responded to them....

Re: Ascot Sprinter #1004?
There is an interest in them for sure. More than likely its a summer thing that people have lives outside of the computer that they aren't responding. Another thing is maybe those who have read it have no idea of an answer...like me

Re: Ascot Sprinter #1004?
i think most/all the boxes had #98 on them honestly. I cant see them changing the # each box they printed.
We would need to see more kit boxes to be sure.

Re: Ascot Sprinter #1004?
I would think the same way actually, doesn't look like a rubber stamp number or anything simple to do. Do you think the aluminum tag was made as a one off thing? that's something east to do....but I also can't imagine that there were 97 designs prior to mine

Re: Ascot Sprinter #1004?
The number #98 is historically associated with Cary Agajanian's father J.C. who fielded cars at Indianapolis for years using the #98 including Parnelli Jones' 1963 Indy winning Watson roadster. I had an Ascot Sprinter kit but didn't have the brass plate as I think those were included in a more expensive kit.

Re: Ascot Sprinter #1004?
ok, that's good to know. I had wondered what significance there was for the #98. I didn't think it reasonable that they would print a serial number on the box but I also didn't see that it could have been the 98th model/ design. thanks for the info
