Oh they did that on purpose just to stir the pot....it worked.

Got some Alclad II Chrome for Lexan to try on this project. https://i.imgur.com/fwYWWJ6.jpg Tamiya X-11 brush paint is what is currently on the body. https://i.imgur.com/HgqxlXN.jpg The back of the Alclad Chrome can says: 4.

My original 10T bitd had normal servo mounts*.

* I am old and often remember things that never happened. Pretty sure on this one, though.

the 10T for some unknown reason had the servo mounted to the opposite side of the chassis which meant there were no servo holes. I think the sport truck still came with servo mounts as the MSC used them. Not sure why they didnt use the holes and flip the bellcrank I hadnt noticed those arms, interes...

A few of the versions from T to T4, and GT:

You can see an original style slipper in the pics.

Fan RC is reproducing them but they appear to be out of stock everywhere. I know Avid makes a version but it's aluminum and I'd prefer a steel shaft and gear. Anyone else making these? I haven't seen them out of steel. The Avid shaft is a good quality one. There has not been a reason for me to brea...

Got the arms apart, and the hardware cleaned. https://i.imgur.com/exqqg0o.jpg Been in the sun for about two hours, and was in the peroxide out of the sun for two hours, four hours total so far. https://i.imgur.com/9tdJ82B.jpg Still see stains on the gear case and shock parts. Only have about 2 hours...

I haven't heard of issues like I had with the Dhawk ones either.

The factory AE was all steel. FWIW there's one on eBay.

Do you need a brand new top shaft, or just a usable top shaft?

I could wait for FanRC to restock or I could buy the Avid shaft now and swap it for an OEM part from one of my shelfers . This, swap out a factory steel one from a shelfer with an Avid aluminum one. I've resorted to this on a shelfer. I've bought a couple Avid aluminum shafts and they seem to be qu...

Thanks for the heads up, just nabbed one to be safe. I'll get a backup from amain when they list em. I have some trust issues with AE fulfillment after seeing some friends get hosed on the CC and 40th kits

Even though it was taken down, that's enough confirmation for me that it's eventually happening. :mrgreen: That was it. AE was waiting for the ReRe 10T subform to be created before they would put them on sale. Clear cause and effect. :lol: I'm order #246xxx. Dang, they're making a bunch of these!

I had work to do in the yard. I'm in but only one. Not gonna get 2 of these.
