Team Associated RC10 CE - Championship Edition (1990)Introduction:
Introduced by Team Associated in 1990, the RC10 CE, Championship Edition, with a number of updates and refinements, was in production for the following 6 years. Initially, many of the improvements came from those developed for the 1989 RC10 Graphite, less of course the chassis and the UJ drive-shafts.

1990 RC10 Championship Edition (CE)
The 2WD RC10 CE came as a self assembly model kit, and is gear driven, based on a gold anodised formed alloy chassis tub, with a bolt on nose plate and motor mount, coil spring over oil filled dampers, a ball differential, dogbone drive-shafts, servo-saver, pneumatic tires, Protech II bodyshell, 3 piece wheels and either oilite bushings or a full set of 16 ball bearings. Many of the changes to the model over the years are discussed below.

One of the features of the new RC10 CE were the three piece wheels (#6854), described by Associated as eliminating the need for gluing.
RC10 CE Dampers:
Early RC10 CE kits came with the old dampers that had been used for all previous versions. Later kits had the new dampers, originally with gold plated caps, later with black plastic caps.
RC10 CE Gearbox and Wheelbase:
The gearbox of the RC10 CE is the same as that used for the 1989 RC10 Graphite.
RC10 CE Shock Mounts:
An extra hole was made in the rear Shock Tower to provide more setup adjustment. The part number - #6378 - stayed the same.

RC10 Chassis Stamp Marks:
If you don't have the original box to help identify your model version, the best place to start is with the RC10 chassis "Stamp" mark. First Generation models did not have a mark, but later versions had a letter stamped on the chassis. "A" was initially stamped on the underside of the Edinger chassis for a short time (rare), then moved the stamp to the inside (see image below). "A" was supposed to be for the original Gold RC10 and CE models, but were found on Black RC10 Team Car chassis with extra holes (see 1990 RC10 Team Car page listed below), "AB" was a kind of transitional chassis, of chassis that had been originally drilled an stamped as "A" then re-drilled for the Stealth Gearbox than stamped with a "B" alongside the "A". "B" stamped chassis were found in the later RC10-CE kits, but were actually for the Stealth Gearbox RC10 Team Cars, and "C" for the Worlds and Championship Edition.
