was going to tear this thing apart and convert to a dirt oval car but longer i looked at it the more i just dont know...i know for sure all electronics have been upgraded recently inc. motor thats about it on that....
but i noticed some oddities (maybe)
chrome plastic wheels tires do say associated on front
front sway bar
black lower arms f&r
front shock mount is steel and front shocks are almost straight up
wide front width
shock shafts are large..

unsure what i have found after some research still lost

Re: unsure what i have found after some research still lost
It looks like original shocks have been replaced. The shock tops look similar to Kyosho shocks. Front shock tower is probably home made. The front and rear suspension arms look like they've been replaced with aftermarket Andy's arms. Original wheels replaced with chrome wheels. Chassis has a few extra holes in it.
Seems to me like a good candidate to make into a dirt oval car.

chrome plastic wheels tires do say associated on front ------------------ Chrome 3 piece AE wheels, only uncommon if the chrome is good condition.
front sway bar-------------------------------------------------------------------- Front and rear sway bars came with most RC10s like yours.
front shock mount is steel and front shocks are almost straight up----- Not familiar with the front shock tower. The tower should be taller than stock. The front platinum shocks are quite a bit taller than the original AE shocks.
wide front width----------------------------------------------------------------- From the pics the width looks about right. The front Andy's arms are a little wider than the arms that came with the kit.
shock shafts are large..----------------------------------------------------------Front and rear shocks are Kyosho platinums. These shocks came with 3 "Turbo" versions of Kyoshos BITD. Outer shock shaft is large, 4mm.
Other than maybe the front shock tower all the visible parts look correct. Nothing really odd.
The shocks are either cool or problematic. Depends which side of the fence you are on. More like an interesting footnote in RC history.
