Time to revive this thread with a theory:
The reason no FF percys ever surfaced may mean that almost all were all retooled.
Also the RC percy is the only rc engine to have a different facial expression other than happy. The tired face may have been FF percy's other face.

This can be proved as this video shows that RC percy has an unused flip face mechanism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DJ_8dtc9Ok
However there is evidence against my theory: there are 2 dots on either side of Percy's leaf spring. On the FF percy they are coloured in, whilst the RC percy doesn't have them coloured in. It's really hard to see on the first image but they are indeed coloured.

But here is where things get interesting:
A youtuber by the name of Trainboy 33 has a percy shell that some will say is an RC percy shell.
BUT it has the larger switch AND the 2 dots coloured in, just like FF percy. The chassis is from a standard percy.
