The check digit is a calculated value based on the rest of the digits. Such that if you change any other digit the check digit would tell you that it isn't a valid VIN number.
So if those are really RCs then there is no way to identify a RC car from a production car by just looking at the VIN number. (You would have to have a list of VINs, or VIN ranges, and what they were.)
I think that's correct. They made the RCs with higher VIN numbers to reserve 1-30 for the first customer cars.
