Drove the truck today at Hobby Action in Chandler AZ. It drives amazingly good!! Gearing a bit off and need to change some esc settings. But, surprised how fast it was. Passing T6.1's today. Headed back Sunday to tune it. Ill get some video and post.

I was never a big fan of the t3 but I really like how this turned out! Has a slightly newer than old vibe but with just the right amount of oldish school parts. Also, its not so overmodded that it doesn't resemble its original state is a good thing 8) One question though is did you have a reason to...

Just standard AE ones.

Put a big DONE stamp on this build. Going to the track next week to let it eat! Keeping this one forever! Thanks for all the comments!

T4 gear cover fits perfect! The hardest part to come by is the front bumper. Not going to pay $25 for a NOS. Wonder if a B5 would fit...

Electronics complete, diff broken in, epa's all adjusted=ready for tires! Getting excited to rip this old beast!

Reedy 1806a digital. Its a nice one. Little over kill but very fast!

Servo in

Yes, motorcycle wheell weights. Chrome ones.

Speedo and receiver installed. Still trying to decide on motor. Definitely not stock but not mod either. Mayne 13.5? Any suggestions?

Thanks! Tons of fun! My first race truck was a T3 so brings back many memories. Excited to run this at local track soon.

Body mounted and finished. Also scored an RPM rear bumper. Electronics next.

Got the body finished tonight!]

The blue is bugging me. What is the brand of paint/name of color/item number.

It talks to me, got to get some.

Flaskolor Turquoise.

This type of build is why I love rc10talk. Amazing work!
