What does a Dale Sr #3 Hobby Grade box look like?

A 1-6th scale Dale Sr #3 "Hobby Grade" Nascar Rc car, has in the lower left corner of the front of the box "Hobby Grade Features"

It may even have an "Added Features" red and yellow sticker on the plastic view window of the box.

Those "Hobby Grade" features are also printed on the box top on the left hand side and on the bottom front edge of the box Look at the bottom edge of this Dale Earnhardt Sr # 3 Rc car. See the printed "burning tires" ? Back panels of the boxes are different. Also note that the remote control transmitters are in a different location in the box. Transmitters on Second Edition Base Versions (full plastic chassis) are in the same place as Hobby Grades. On First Edition Base Versions, (foam padded chassis) they are infront of the car. A dead giveaway for ANY BASE VERSION is this lack of "Hobby Grade" on the lower left corners and 100 yard range on the transmitter."Hobby Grade" range is 50 yards.

Note the "Motorworks" Logo Lower left corner of the front of the box

NEW Hobby Grade boxes!!!

   

On the "Front Runners" boxes...the top right corner will say "Race up to 6 drivers or cars at a time"

Also on the "Front Runners" boxes...the frequency chips are NOT in the car chassis and controller but are located near the controller in the box when shipped.

I have a front ,back and top panel picture of the First Edition Base Version, (Foam Padded Chassis), Dale Sr # 3 box here below. Note the box printing differences from the Hobby Grades. Not only the printing is different these Rc cars will not drive the same as Hobby Grades.

Note the back of this box shows the foam padded chassis. The remote controller is IN FRONT of the car in the package, Not the top where the other versions are. The "120" is in RED on the front lower left
On the back panels, "Hobby Grade" versions will completely different. Also "First Edition Base Versions" will show the Foam Padded Chassis as where the "Second Edition Base Versions." will show a full plastic chassis similar to the Hobby Grade chassis but with their own unique differences.


Second Edition Base Version

Note the box printing differences from the First Edition Base Version and Hobby Grades. Not only the printing is different these Rc cars will not drive the same as Hobby Grades. Note the back of this box shows the full plastic chassis. The remote controller is ON TOP of the box in the pacakge, like where the Hobby Grade versions are. Note the front lower left corner of this box shows the "120" is in BLUE on the front lower left.



Hobby Grade, First Edition Base version, Second Edition Base Version Chassis comparisions
I have here, below, the Hobby Grade Chassis, First Edition Base version (foam padded chassis). The Second Edition Base version chassis will be a full plastic chassis, similar to the "Hobby Grade" chassis, but with their own unique differences.

                First Ed. Bv Foam Padded Chassis

   
     (no manual alignment arrow)    (has the manual alignment arrow)

I have here, left to right, the Hobby Grade Chassis, First Edition Base version (foam padded chassis). The Second Edition Base version chassis will be a full plastic chassis, (not shown) similar to the "Hobby Grade" chassis, but with a manual alignment arrow between the front wheels just like the F.E.B.v chassis.

Now here, left to right, below, the First Edition Base version Dale Sr. #3 (foam padded chassis) and then the Hobby Grade version Dale Sr. #3. See the lower black valance? That "lower look" on the Foam padded versions look more like a real race car. The body shell on these fits "over" the foam padding. Hobby Grades have a bumper edge that protects the body shell and the body shell sits on top of the bumper.




Do you notice the differences now?

"Hobby Grade" Features are :

 Digital proportional steering  (variable steering), which means you can turn the transmitter wheel slightly and the car turns a little. Turn the transmitter wheel alot and the car turns alot. Variable speed control this means you pull back on the trigger a little the car moves a little, pull back on the trigger all the way and the car takes off! This also works for reverse gear as well.
