Here's the starting point for my project. I believe the truck is #7001. It has a B stamp chassis, thin shock towers, all white parts, grey shocks, thin front wheels and tires, etc.. Any info you guys have on the truck would be great to hear.  Tonight I took stock of all the parts I have and started the cleaning process. All four shocks have leaked all over everything.  After cleaning all the parts, I'll give them a good peroxide bath to bring them back to life. More pics soon. Here's my parts list: RC10T #7001 (I think) A used Tekin G-9 (Thanks Schuyler!) A NIB Tekin reverse module NIB #7355 Rear A Arms Used Futaba 3003 Steering Servo NIB #6604 Black Motor Plate NIB White Stealth Case with felt gasket (Thanks Ron!) NIB #6325 White tranny brace NIB #6575 Diff Thrust Bolt, Thrust Bearing Cover, Dog Bone Spacers and locking T-Nut NIB #6440 Shock Rebuild Kit NIB #SWK3175 Sportwerks Dogbones A ton of wheels and tires from the original kit pieces to a barely used set of white Proline's Attachment:

I'll post more and bigger pics and a parts list when I get home from work in the morning. I just wanted to make a quick post before I had to leave for work tonight. While I was tearing the truck down, I noticed some broken parts that need to be replaced and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with part #'s. All four rear hinge pins are bent, All four shock shafts are bent, the drive cups are worn out, the white servo mounts are missing, and the thin rear shock tower is broken. Also, a lot of the chassis screws are scratched up and I'm going for perfection on this build. Did/does anyone make a screw set for this truck? I'd rather buy one bag of screws if possible.

I found all the parts I need available on Towers website. Guess I should've looked before I posted.  On a side note, I've heard a lot of you guys say that TBG's bodies are less than ideal and I need a body for this project. What are my options besides paying an arm and a leg on eBay? I'm going for the box art look at the moment, but I really love the old Toyota body and could be swayed towards that paint scheme.

I have a TBG body on my 10T. Its a little thin in spots and all the detail lines seem clear to me. But I don't have an original to compare them side by side.

His are very faint details to me, and undersize- MrLexan makes a perfect one, but won't be back much until fall I think-

Quick update. I rebuilt the stealth tranny tonight and threw in an old Warlock racing motor for fun. I'm still looking for the right motor for the project. I think I also have the original white spur gear somewhere. Here's a few pics. I'll enlarge them when I get home from work in the morning. Attachment:

Does anyone know what bodies these are? They don't look like the box art body and the front grille looks like a Dodge Dakota.

The two bodies in the first two pics I posted are the ones I was talking about. I don't think either of the ones you posted are the bodies I have. I'll take some better pics when I get home and post them.

Here are some better pics of the two bodies I have. The front grille looks like an old Dodge Dakota to me, but I could be wrong. My bodies also look to be skinnier but I don't have an original 10T body for comparison. The green and white body is in pretty decent shape but it does have a few cracks in it. I'm thinking about stripping it and respraying it. I love the stickers that say front bumper and rear!  Attachment:

they look like Toyotas to me. They look familiar but I'm having a hard time finding them.

They have what looks to be fuel doors molded into the bed of the body if that helps. That small rear side window does remind me of the older Yota's now that you mention it.

Will these MIP CVD's be close to the original team truck CVD's? Will they work on my RC10T? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MIP-Shiny-CVD-k ... 519fba5637
