They guys collecting these are realy into clean tubs.That one is a little beat up.Still have the good stuff though.Hard andozed shocks and such.The market for this stuff has cooled some.Still probably worth $80-$100 usd.I got a great deal recently for similar for $50.Still a realy cool old buggy.

Bit of a difficult one really - shame you gave it to your lad to run, seems he may have had a bit of a hefty front-end shunt judging by what looks like a bent chassis tube.... which would mean the chassis maybe a bit out of shape.
Having said that its a team car with all the right bits & RC10s do still seem to fetch decent money..... my advice would be to stick on evilBay & see what you get

well used chassis = -$
black b stamp chassis = -$ dyed parts = -$ bent nose plate and brace tube = -$ original box and paperwork = +$ now that is how a collector would see it. as far as someone wanting to use it for racing you get this. stealth trans = +$ steel turnbuckles = -$ non molested chassis (no holes or cuts) = +$ all in all this car would make a good runner for someone starting out. to a collector its nothing to get excited about. pricing varies daily on what these cars sell for. i watch the rc10's every day since i am a vintage collector/racer.. looking at this car i would offer about $60 shipped if you were in the us. but then again im cheap but i know what i can get these cars for. but on ebay currently i can see it fetching somewhere between $60 - $100 plus shipping now if you took the car completely apart and cleaned it, redyed all the parts black, and took some high quality glamor photos you may see even more out of it. but it depends if your time is worth the effort to pull a little more money from her.

Its interesting as a racer that there is a whole other collectors market out there interested in very different things.
It is a shame the son gave it a thrashing but I'm sure he enjoyed it!! I'd no idea it was worth anything. LowClassCC the chassis actualy has the letter A stamped under the diff if that mean something as you sat B stamp? Thanks for the info much appreciated a bit of TLC and a photo shoot then on ebay I think will be the best route. cheers

 You might be suprised, RC10s are rarer in the UK - so seem to fetch more over here than in the states.By the way it is my understanding that all later chassis pre-drilled for the Stealth gearbox are 'B' stamp (I maybe wrong here?) - its rather odd if yours is stamped 'A' - but then theres all sorts of anomalies that crop up in the production of these cars P.S; check out http://www.rc10talk.com/

ok the a-stamp black chassis are around. this may identify your buggy as a very early 6035. even fewer made their way into kits. for the most part they were sold as replacement chassis with the associated us flag header card part number 6301.
these black a-stamp chassis were most likely left over gold pans that the company had laying around. to update them they would drill for the stealth and reanodize them in black. now there were also a-b stamp chassis. followed by b stamps and c stamps. the a-b chassis were old a stamp chassis that were drilled with the additional holes for the stealth and then they stamped a b over the a that was already there. you chassis most likely was made ether before this restamping started or was just done on a day when quality control was a bit more lax than normal. so a good way to look at a black a-stamp is recycled  and it is one of those things that could draw a little more from a collector but remember condition will play a bigger factor than what stamp it has. also it is had to tell from the pic but does it have both sets of holes for the inline battery setup? it should only have one set of holes for the inline battery and those will be slightly off center if you look at them. the centered inline battery holes were not done from the factory until the later b-stamp chassis.

forgot to add the rc10 team car #6035 came out in 1990 not 1993 though they were still sold at that point. but the a-stamp tells me it has a production date closer to 1990.

Depending on whether it has long or short front wishbones it could be a later version of a first generation RC10 (assembled into a kit at Associated's later premises - Cadillac Avenue, CA.) Or it could be a Championship Edition car (long front wishbones) Show us a pic Simon

Well either my memory gets hazy and it was closer to 1990 not 93 or I managed to buy old stock?

Just listed mine on ebay if anyone is interested. Really not 100% if I want to sell yet so I've put it up at a starting price in the ball-park of what it stands me at.
