Default What to do with 1992 RC10CE?

Howdy folks,

Many years ago I received an RC10CE for Christmas, moved shortly after, and never finished putting it together. I remember it fairly recently, and was thinking about finishing it up. But, then I started thinking; this is a fifteen year old car, maybe I should do some research first. So I've done a little. And it seems that spare parts are probably going to be an issue. It also looks like this thing has become semi-collectible. So, would it be better to throw this thing together and play around with it, or should I sell it, and buy a new car/truck that has more easily accessible spare parts? Any thoughts?

Personaly, I wouldn't bash it. I would just put it up on eBay.

Hey,

If it is new and you want a runner, sell it. Buy a RC10B4 FT and have fun.

Otherwise, it is a nice car for a "collector" who likes the 90's racing "style". Notice, it will never perform as good as a B4.

Have fun buddy,

JYM.

If it's brand new, it'll be worth a bit.

I bash mine around all the time - but I didn't get it new, so I'm not looking for it to be a collector's item or anything. I gave it an overhaul and made it look nice, but still bash around with it. Fun car!

If it is new/unused you could get quite a bit for it.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Now I just need to decide what to do with it.

Any thoughts on what it might be worth? Like I said before, we started building it, but didn't finish. So it has never been finished or driven, but it's not in a sealed box either. I do still have the box, manual and all of the parts. The body was never trimmed or painted.

It's in another city. I'll have to pick it up to get the kit number and pictures. Might be a couple of weeks.
