I was always a sucker for the old truck conversions. I had a John Gudvangen conversion when I was growing up and it was a very fun truck. I had some wheels kicking around, and they still mke the old proline tires, CRP still has the body mounts....so why not! Just need a period body and she's good to go
Oh, and white battery cups are on the way!!

"So why not" he says as if it's just that easy... That's a killer example, but those body mounts have always bothered me. Could they not make them a little less obtrusive?? Don't get me wrong, I wish I had one and yours is pure vintage exactly as they made it, but couldn't they have made it just a bit more streamline? Nice break from the vintage norm with this post too. I personally haven't seen many of these on here.

I like the jg conversion body mounts better, but I don't see them often. They are just a bent piece of Kydex so to make them wouldn't be that bad but since the CRP are still available, and the andys are on eBay a lot and are also obtrusive, I decided to use them. Glad to see CRP is still around. The single front post is a little cleaner setup, I'm not convinced on the double. It might go away

Turkeys done lol!
Yeah I was surprised those tires were still produced. I had Blackfoot tires on mine bitd and they sucked arse

"Can you get ESPN radio on these things?" Or to go true vintage "Tune in Tokyo!". Ahh, ok. Now I'll leave this thread to people who actually know what they're talking about.

I.have some early Proline AT 34 front tall ribs that would go perfect with the look of those rears!!
Ribbed tires on a truck? Say it ain't so! Actually depending on the body I end up with I may get a hold of you on those. I haven't decided if it will be more "heavy metal" or more "monster" bodied yet

I would like to find some long front towers and matching rear, something like a jg or a&l tower, that I can copy but haven't found any I like. The jammin rear on my houge build I "think" is a bit new for this project, and I don't have a matching front yet.
But there is still a part of me that likes her really stock, that's how mine was bitd

So on my latest acquisition, I scored a Proline Truck conversion.
In going through all the parts, Im missing one of the axles. I did get some similar axles from a friend, but they aren't drilled for a king pin. (If you notice in the following pic,...

feel free to send them my way.

been buzzing around a few different forum's and saw a article about a kit that will make it to where your RC10 buggy into a truck.......and thoughts , or info about this and is it worth it?

The conversion arrived today;
If I ever let it go, I'll list it on here first! :wink:
Just bought a RC10. This had been converted to a truck back in the days by the seller, then changed back to a regular RC10 again. Seller told me the parts had been an Andy's truck conversion kit. I know Andy's 1/12 and 1/10 scale bodies but have no...
I could use some help. This was part of the Chris Chan collection, and this body was on a RC10 with early truck conversion. I wanted to see if anyone recognizes it from a photo or advertisement.
Thanks

I agree, it says chan racing but that looks like Mike Ogle styling
This is one he did for Ron at SRP. Oh, it's probably still for sale too 8)
Was there an entire conversion kit by Andy's to turn RC10s into monster trucks? I just received a sealed bag of Andy's parts (arms, bumpers, body posts, wheel adapters etc) but has no tag or markings. Ill post a pic of it later when I have a chance....

Sure does help! It also explains the Jeep Comanche body I got with it too!
Since I never had a truck conversion til now (thanks Rod for the many truck conversions) I thought I would put one on my only gold pan temporarily. Rod if you come across any cheap RC10s I can put one you these conversion kits on let me know, I need...

Cool stuff Anthony, I'm happy you could put the conversions to use! I had a Proline one (Chev body?) back in the day on a gold pan and then the 10t came out! I can't remember what I did with it after, I think it went back to a buggy! The conversion...
