The C100 was the only Racing Master kit to feature a hard plastic body. The previous kits (Lola, Datsun, and Tornado) all came with clear polycarbonate bodies. Otherwise, packaging is typical Tamiya for the time period.

5D3_0365-Edit Box art illustrates that the C100 featured a standard RS540 can motor and a mechanical speed controller.

A 3-D illustration of the chassis layout give further clarification of how the components are arranged. Also shown, but not included in the kit, is a 6v 5-cell nicad battery pack, which could be swapped out for a more powerful 7.2v 6-cell “hump pack” battery.
