Another quick resurrection and flip 10T

[GoMachV]

Same deal as the hot pink buggy, this was another part of the lot. Reanodized the chassis, nose, shock caps, and motor plate. Forgot to do the nose tubes DOH! The rear suspension was painted blue and black, some of the front was painted and some dyed. The painted stuff cleaned up great! I still would like to find a left front white arm but the rest turned out pretty good for a mutt. I needed the early towers and few other little things so its an early B stamp offset battery chassis with thick towers and cvd's. The first pic shows where it started, it was pretty rough- but not as bad as the buggy! This one cleaned up good enough to stay white










Yeah yeah i know it's missing an e clip that arm is temporary!

Looks good!

Is that a tbg body?

[GoMachV]

Yup, Marlo was kind enough to hook me up with an original and a couple TBGs for my moody conversion, this was a spare

[K-TOWN-KITT]

Nice rebuild. What does tbg mean?

[GoMachV]

Team BlueGroove (reproduction shells)

[marlo]

WOW, good job!, body looks great on there

[K-TOWN-KITT]

Oh, I see. I know of Team Blue Groove but i didn't know they made repop bodies. I thought all the first gen stuff was just what was out there. How authentic are they? Do they have the AE on the gate?

[GoMachV]

A little "too" authentic if you know what I mean

A real one fits directly over the top of the repop

[K-TOWN-KITT]

Just to think of how long I have been hanging on to the truck bodies. Not wanting to give them up without a fight.

[GoMachV]

The logo is there but the detail is gone. You can tell its a repop

[K-TOWN-KITT]

Not trying to burst anyones bubble but good. Atleast you can tell they are not original. Sorry but that knid of made me mad there for a moment.

Welcome to 10talk, you've got some catching up to do. Do a search for team blue grove.

[GoMachV]

Haha yeah, hated by most. Personally they have always treated me great and I will continue to both feed them old bodies and buy repops from them

[K-TOWN-KITT]

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad to know I can buy a replacement body that will actually fit the truck and I won't cry when I tear it up.
P.S. I don't want to catch up. I want to stay in 1994. The last year of the real dogs.

I probably haven't seen them because when I look at the RC-10 stuff, my searches usually start off by clicking used. I almost never use nos stuff with the acception of misc. nuts, bolts, and black ball cups. I recently bought a black nose plate for a RC-10 that is sealed and am probably just going to resell it. I just cant bring myself to taking nos stuff out of the pack.
