So, I picked up another skinny tire #7001 truck to fiddle with.

Great project, looks like it may have RPM body posts though.

Yeah, I've got some white rpm front arms and a rpm gear cover I was thinking about adding if I really wanted to clean it up.

I may have the original body posts somewhere . It is a 1 owner truck. A long long time ago 1 front arm broke , got replaced with a white one thankfully. The tub got swapped to a old rc10 worlds my dad had , ran like that for the lomgest time. Then went back to truck. My dad bought it new and built it for me , i ran it a lot. Sat in a box for many many many years ( tires removed ) then i got it.

Glad to see its going to member here. Please take care of my baby :!: id hate to let it go, but i do have that truck's "sister" caddilac 6 gear goldpan.

Its been in there for as long as i can remember. My dad put the original in his worlds car ( which got sold to a member here a few years ago ) . The tub on the worlds car got bent , so he took the tub from the 10T and ran it like that for a while. Eventually got a new tub and the 10T got put back together.a 6 gear was put in place of it for me to run.

My dad went thru the 10t about 7 years ago on xmas, we ran it and a few others. I got it , and it has been untouched since. I ran it a few months ago , but lost the tamiya to deans connector .

I used to be a big rc10 nut.. but with the family fight we had , i just dont care for them anymore. That was my child hood , my dad and rc10s. They just sit and collect dust. Hate to let it go , but at least someone else can appreciate it and enjoy it and give it the attention it deserves. Selling it will fund the kyosho assault restorations i have waiting. ( go to buy parts for one then end up buying another basket case )

I see. I sold the #7001's I had and found myself wanting another. I had told myself I was going to keep just one RC10T, though. So, I plan to put all the good stuff from my sport truck on it, while preserving the original parts, and sell the #7011 truck.

I moved overseas for a number of years and it got put in a box for another time. I plan to revisit it next time I get a break from life, ha. My youngest liked your body however, and it lived on his T3.
