Yes v1 and v2 are essentially the same. The seal end is changed slightly from the first bottom load to top load to bottom load with a cap. The seal is the same just held in place differently. The threaded bodies helped ride height setting tuning.

Tamiya's Vanessa's Lunch Box was released on this day June 23, 1987.
34 years old today and still available in stores. Talk about fun giver!!

The back of that wing is made to be mostly cut out. There should be some faint lines in the mold for trimming it.

If you didn't want it to be an exact copy, you could have used a Dynotech gear adapter with the original V1 input shaft.

Just something to keep in mind in the future.

This RC10 with the MIP 4WD conversion has to be my favorite gold pan. I'm not a huge fan of Gen 1 RC10s, but this one is just so amazing.

That race is somewhere on the internet....quite a race. He VanAired it out on that back stretch triple? Or tabletop? IIRCC he made a pass in mid-air!! It was totally bitchin'. Imma go find it......FOUND IT!......a link to it, here, on RC10Talk, of course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFR34RNFBJU ...

Their 10mm shocks use a 3.5mm shaft, too large.

I was going through my shock box and found some Traxxas pistons for Ultra shocks (the common plastic ones). They fit nicely in some V1 bodies that I had there.

I use 1800 nimh stick packs, remove the plastic end caps & re-shrinkwrap. They fit.

While stadium trucks are more nostalgic, I prefer the short course for bashing around. The big body definitely absorbs potential damage to the running gear and the tires/arms do not stick out to get caught on anything. I have a first model SC10 and enjoy ripping around the street/yard.
