Kyosho BigBrute body painted from the outside...................................



The original paint job I did when I was 14 was even worse.

Thanks, I'll run it in the dirt as soon as find somewhere without all those big rocks that like to gouge the bottom of the chassis. Almost all of the new parts came from tower. The geeks at the old local hobby shop laughed at it when I brought it in looking for spare parts, and they tried to sell me...

Yes I have both manual and box.
Part number is #7011.
It originally had the MSC and bronze bushings.

2 things first off, im a long time pede'r seconed off, i think im going to vomit if i look at them anymore. if someone shows up at the local track with one i might just go out of my way to rough up their car on the track :wink: Unless you using a Pede yourself, you might just break your own car try...

Some aluminum caster blocks will save you some bent kingpins.
I haven't bent a kingpin since I switched.
Aluminum shock caps are also helpful if you plan on some heavy bashing.
The plastic ones occasionally pop off (at least they did for me )

I got the new ball studs today.
I also picked up some fancy conical washers just for some added bling .......................................

I think I have to paint the heads of my screws to cover up the rust until I replace them.

I got my new turnbuckles and RPM ball cups..................................... http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f348/acerpower/P1010590.jpg Instead of titanium I took the cheap way out and just got some new steel ones. I can always use the old ones as spares in case I break or bend one. I figured ...

Thanks for the compliments. I got the steering blocks here: http://www.asiatees.com/display.php?Team-Associated-RC10GT-Parts-Hop-Ups-Upgrades&brand=Team%20Associated&model=RC10GT&id=981&pid=1 And the C-blocks: http://www.asiatees.com/display.php?Team-Associated-RC10GT-Parts-Hop-Ups-U...

That's looking sweet!
I really like the look of polished aluminum and carbon fiber.
You have some nice goodies for your build too.
I'm trying to do something similar with my 10T.

Will the Tower ST-15 body fit the RC10T?
I'm looking for some cheap older style alternatives for my electric 10T.

Just be sure to wear a dust mask and safety goggles when working with this stuff.
You really don't want to be breathing in the dust from c.f.

The Proline T4 Crowd Pleazer fits if you have the RPM adjustable body mount set.................................

A dremel with a cutting wheel works best, then cut it a little over sized, and sand it to size to prevent chipping. I also use some small hobby files for some shaping and to neaten the drilled holes. I like to cover it with masking tape so I can draw the pattern on it, and it prevents damage to the ...

I made my carbon fiber transmission brace tonight....................... http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f348/acerpower/P1010577.jpg It's nothing fancy but I think it looks better than the stock nylon brace. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f348/acerpower/P1010581.jpg I'll probably order the new ...

Since I run this truck and could use the extra durability, I picked up some aluminum C-blocks and steering blocks............... http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f348/acerpower/P1010569.jpg I also modded an old Traxxas gear cover to fit................... http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f348/acer...
