Bought my RC10 back in 1985, but some time gone since then. Also gave away at some point.
Now looking for a nice one but I´m far from a RC10 expert.
Got these pictures now but not really sure which version it is.
Sorry for small pictures, there are no others.
What do you think?

If you bought it in 1985 it could be a very late "Edinger" RC10 which is basically the same as an early "Cadillac" address car. I can not tell if your tires have markings on them but I do see a rear spring cup that has the newer split design.

You also had your rear arm mounts on backwards :wink:

It is not the one I bought back in 1985, this has gone long ago.
But found pictures for a car what is on sale. These are the pictures I got.
Hope to receive larger pics later, but for the moment it´s just these.
Chassis looks quite good to me.

Ok, well that car looks like it was never run - if the price is right you better grab it :wink:

Yes I also thought it was never run or maybe just a few times.
What is that marking at the bottom of chassis, right at the end?

So you think it´s a newer version, is there any difference for worth of this car?
I mean comparing two cars of new or near new condition, do you have to pay more for a 1985 RC10 than a 1990 version?

This RC10 comes as shown at the pictures, the owner told me there is no body, motor or MSC or anything additional. Just the manual seems included. So a basic kit or something?

Mark on the chassis is the heavy "A" stamp

as far as value................................depends on too many variables, and as you probably know we don't like to talk values in these threads.
