Restored 10T with pictures.

Post by OG RC10T »

Almost a double post but this one has the pictures with it.

I recently restored my 10T with new RPM front and rear a-arms, rear bulk head, Rear carriers with oversized bearings, MIP CVD axles, RPM stealth tranny with 2.65 gearing, rebuilt the diff, complete ball bearings, CO 27 pro motor, Novak Rooster speed controler (already replaced the Duratrax that is in the picture), High speed High torque steering servo, front axles, 4200 battery, proline wheels and tires, rebuilt all 4 shocks, replaced gold springs, replaced all hardware, sanded and repainted the frame, lundsford and factory team turnbuckles, rpm ends, all new ball studs, new orgional body, painted retro esque`, RPM body mounts, hinge pins, ect....

It came a long way from when I bought it back in 1993. Actually it still looked like 1993 untill a couple of weeks ago, :lol:

Here are a couple of pictures :D

Nice, I like how you neglected to paint the back part of the bed. That really stands out and looks super trick.
He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.

Nice build, but I wouldn't call it restored. In my eyes a restoration means returning to it's original state. :wink:

Still another 10T rescued, and that's a very good thing. :D

I like the term Resto Mod - taken from the big car world. :lol:

Rescued, brought back to life its all good.

I left the bed cover clear incase someone didnt know what it was, they could at least see its old school.

"White" 7011 "sport" kit. Thicker "four per side" rear tower, and "three per side" front tower, gold shocks, old style steel front axles with 30º caster blocks and dogbone axles... Newer than a 7001, sold along side the 7035 Team Truck. Nice. Still got the resistor SC, second battery cup, and all the bushings? Most 7011's got updated, getting hard to find an OG one... :? At some point I'll post pics of my two 7001's, one is one of the earliest, with the old style ball cups and "half A" chassis... (still waiting on Ron Jeremy to decide on letting me have those stagger-bar front tires.. :? ). It's currently in pieces, I just cleaned all the white parts in an ultrasonic cleaner, which works really well.
