A coworker knowing I'm into rc gave me this T2. The receiver connected to my transmitter and it runs well. Can anyone give me some insight to this model such as is it stock, worked over? I know the motor is not stock and he gave me a Green Machine 2...

When I make bumpers, they are the max width without wheel rub. Not pretty but the best protection I can give the truck against the results of my 'driving skills'.

Hi friends! Quick poll, who has had a few beers and went surfing around on Ebay only to (sorta) regret it the next day?
Apparently, I am the new owner of this RC10T2.
Had no intention of actually winning it but I feel like I got a good...

You can remove the existing mount and use a puretech Velcro strap. It’s backed with adhesive so it can be used without drilling the chassis or slimming down the battery mount
That's the ticket! I was not going to be modifying any of the factory...
Kind of surprised I didn't have a thread for this.
I got this truck a few years ago. Pretty solid. Even had Lunsford turnbuckles. But, no trans. Thankfully, i bought a b2/b3 lot shortly after getting the T3 and ended up with trans for it. I tore it...
Recently picked this 10T up… Am I correct in thinking that this is one of the last runs of the original 10T design? Chassis is a C stamp and has all black parts as you can see.

That high of ratio ehh? I was thinking around 21-22t. It’s. Reedy radon 15t motor
The original 10T has a 2.25:1 transmission ratio, while newer trucks have 2.4 or 2.6 ratios. So you can't directly compare the pinion size to that of newer trucks....

Hi
Thanks, I was looking at the MCI decals before posting but didn't know for sure if those were the ones I would need. As for the other body I'm planing on getting would I need to get the MCI 1/10TH ASSOCIAT - RC10 T3 / GT3 DECALS?

I would also wote for the green shocks. The black shocks are nice, but I think you're losing more of the identiy of the car. Also, all of a sudden the entire setup turned very modern with the black ones.

Since you already have #2 pistons in the front/rear maybe bring a #1 piston rear with 30 - 32wt and a #3 front with 30 - 32wt for some quick tuning options.

Very true. If you were keeping it a truck, it's a matter of a dynotech motor plate, some battery trays of some type, and some creative bracing and you are on the way.

I just use a shock shaft with a downstop limiter under the piston and pull it. I'll normally go back with a nut driver or similar tool to make sure it is seated properly.
Related topic, what's the current easiest way then to get 3/16 stub axles in rear with pin drive? All mine are dogbones stock 1/4 axles. I know JC racing will be out shortly with 3/16 universals and solve the problem but what else for now?
