RC10T2 M. Pavidis replica (updated 12-03)
Hi Guys,
My name is Daniel, I'm 24 and am from Luxembourg. Here I would like to introduce my new project: restoring an old RC10T2.
I got the chassis for $ 30 including shipping! However, one can expect at this price is not much. The chassis is in a terrible state. Also missing some parts that are rare now: battery brace and Gear Cover.
The first stage: Disassemble the chassis and see what parts are to use yet. Then I had to find someone who is familiar with powder coating ... should not be a problem.
I've already got some new parts. Some of them are hard to find, as for example the graphite rear shock tower or Tecnacraft Turnbuckles and Hinge Pins
I will definitely continue to follow reports and pictures.
(Sorry for my bad english )

Re: Restoring an old RC10T2
That truck should have black bellcranks and they are readily available, don't throw the white ones away though as they are correct for an early RC10GT
Re: Restoring an old RC10T2
that thing is a beauty compared to some ive seen on ebay and you got all that for a steal. keep us posted as you get it up and going. looks like a very nice start for a nice runner
do you think its a bad twilight zone episode for team associated to be re producing a buggy from yesteryear that is capable of beating their latest and greatest production buggy?

Re: Restoring an old RC10T2
Yes, I've also been wondering why the bellcranks are white. I will replace it by some new, black bellcranks.
By the way: are the rear 3° suspension mounts, part number 7363, identical to those from the RC10 GT or B2??
Can someone help me with the electronics?

Re: Restoring an old RC10T2
My steering is white on my T2. To be authentic, no problem with keeping what's on it. Negative on the rear susp mounts though. This should help you with you parts questions if you don't have it already..Vale wrote:Yes, I've also been wondering why the bellcranks are white. I will replace it by some new, black bellcranks.

With respect to electrics, "period correct" is going to be in the neighborhood of 1995-1997. Have fun!

Hmmm? I was thinking the white bell cranks may be an early version, I think they are correct!

We used to race pro, and got them direct from TE bagged.
Throw in a Tekin 411P esc, they were great at the time.

Re: Restoring an old RC10T2
Hi Guys!
Thank you for your help!
Then I'll probably leave the white bellcranks in there
The problem with electronics is that it is very difficult here in the EU to come to such a component (vintage ESC and motor). Maybe someone can offer a fitting combo ...
Today, the BlingBling parts arrived: Titanium Hinge Pins and Tecnacraft Turnbuckles!

Re: Restoring an old RC10T2
From all the research I've done the early trucks came with different upper shock collars, and lowerslotcarrod wrote:Y'ernat Al wrote:My steering is white on my T2.

spring perches as well as older style hex bellcranks instead of the square center- However, the timeline
on the GT was before the T2 and it was a shared part # and AE was known to use what they had (random
parts color variations etc) on hand during this period of 1995-1996 for sure. So anything is possible-

Re: Restoring an old RC10T2
T2 shells are currently available through AE and Towerhobbies. As for the other parts, eBay of course or our Buy/Sell/Trade section has a wanted forum although you will have to meet the criteria in the "Rules" section first before having access. In the mean time, please don't use this thread as a wanted thread
