Rc 10 A chassis

[purplenut]

Hi.
Decided to give my Rc10 parts box a look at and start building 2 cars.
I have 2 chasis 1, tub in blue,gold under but has a A stamped on it.
Looked into it and i think its a old chassis, anybody know more?.
Also other chassis is a carbon one but flat, with AE carver into it, don't know anything about this one.
I will upload some pics later but info much appreciated
Thanks

Hi,

The gold tube should be from an Edinger chassis (first RC10 generation). The first production of the RC10 was manufactured at 1928 East Edinger Ave in Santa Ana California (Hence the name Edinger). Later produced RC10 cars at 3585 Cadillac Ave Costa Mesa California.... The very first chassis had no stamp on it. Then the first Edinger A stamp chassis had the A on the bottom, later was changed to the top.

Original AE carbon chassis should not be flat at all, should have a "kick up nose" on the front?

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Daniel.
Thanks for that. by the looks of the gold pan its a light gold also not a dark gold like most I've seen does this make any difference , also the nose piece is red under the blue?.
Yes the Carbon does have a kick up nose, sorry…
Just trying to upload pics...

The anodizing can vary from one part to another.

AE brought later colored chassis parts. if I'm not mistaken, there was also red...

First came the RC10 Graphite (kit 6025 with bushings, kit 6030 with bearings), later the RC10 Team Car Graphite, kit 6036. However, the chassis plate to both should be identical.

The front nose piece had L & R on it to does that help or do they all have that?
