The following pictures are of what is being described as a "RC10 Ascot Sprint car". It is for sale locally and I was wondering if anybody has seen or heard of this before? Is it a "REAL DEAL" or somebody's idea of a mod?

Thanks

it's got a hot trick chassis, nose and front shock tower.
i just saw a kit like this on ebay, just the chassis/nose/tower.

i don't know whose cage that is.

those tires are right from the time period, thats how we did'em.

if it's a good deal, go for it. it is a rc10 sprinter for sure.

Thats an Ascot cage- can't tell if its just painted, like the nose plate-

No Hot Trick parts on that just fiberglass parts dyed red. HT Sprint chassis doesn't have extra mounting holes in the front but it does in the rear for their solid rear axle.


Looks like Mini-Mags + Moody tires too. Maybe he had the alum parts ano'd red and black, but if not you've got some messy paint to clean up.

ahh, i stand corrected. anytime i see that shade of red i automatically think hot trick.

You've been conditioned.

Wheels are probably dyed nylon btw, not aluminum.

ya never know, if they painted the nose they might have painted the wheels.

True could be painted...but why polish the side chassis plates to a mirror finish, then paint aluminum wheels.

I'm trying to go see the thing, if the guy ever replies back to me. I'll let you all know what I find out.

stranger things have happened, but for the op's sake lets hop you are correct.

looks like MRP Grand Prix tires (my fav's when I ran Ascot RCRC dirt oval, home to that conversion). It does look like an Ascot kit.

Paint/no paint, for the right price, pick it up

So I'm guessing by the eBay auction, the seller either never replied or didn't accept your offer.

Yea, I guess I over educated him before I could pull the trigger.
