AFAIK there is no difference between the two other than updated graphics. Not to say there is no difference at all, but SRAM didnt publish any updated information for the MY update.

SRAM claim it is better for 2016, certainly the body is a slightly different shape on my 16 compared to the 15 I had before.

However the damping spare parts have the same parts no as before so maybe they haven't changed

New Compression System
A redesigned piston reduces compression forces at high speeds. The increased oil flow results in a smoother-feeling shock at high shaft speeds, more control and better traction on the trail.

New Poppet Valve
An updated poppet valve design with o-ring and riveted shims create a better seal for a more refined lockout feel.

New Rebound Circuit
Additional beginning-stroke rebound shaft port with dual-taper rebound needle results in increased oil flow for a wider range of adjustment, allowing more precise control over a broader range of rider weights.

Yeah the RT3 had a major update (as per the article) but not the RC3 I believe.
