It must be consensual.

So perfect.... so messed up. Love it

Broke stuff at the track And ran the truck without breaking anything

That car is from wayyyy back. I think it was one of Sixdub's, but I may be losing my mind

AE stole my 6030 Graphite car images off of the 25 year thread for their website...made me kinda proud!

Where can you get these from new?

Horizon Hobby!

Those are 1993 era CVD's, prone to failure at the pin hole, later versions had the bottom of the "bell" thickened so there was way less wear- the heat treatment wasn't perfect either, so most weren't super black. Oddly....their aluminum CVD's always retained this design....and we're prone ...

Painted a new T2 shell I found in my stash, matches my sons current colorway-

Painted a T2 shell for my sons T2.4 race truck, also did a full 12mm hex conversion on it with SC10 rear hexes, B4.2 front steering blocks and SC10 front hexes.

Best ccomment of the year-

Some JC XX front arms....I've repeatedly tested the XX platforms durability, and these are the next step. Oddly, they only sent right side arms however

Welcome, and technically...Welcome back. Your 10 will make a solid runner and even a capable vintage racer for sure. Class seems to be gaining momentum in the past three years


Look like you have a great start!

I may still have some LSD parts from my build to help you, but the graphite is a great heat nsulator, and isn't prone to as much thermal expansion as metals. A nice penetrating oil might also help. Look forward to seeing some results and a restored car!

Nice, I look every day on Ebay for Trinity cars and other pan cars so I must've missed this one. I have one myself that I'm trying to restore even though it was already like new almost. I think I discovered lately though that it has the wrong axle in it but I don't see me finding a LSD axle either....

Ditch that servo saver for a better steering feel, that (vintage now) S9551 is equipped to handle anything (also my favorite servo from BITD)

I think i stalled out waiting to find some other purple parts...haven't looked at it in al looooong time. I ran one of these for almost a month on indoor paperclip shaped carpet oval. The lack of RR weighting in the corner was it's demise for me, the car got into the corner like a rocker but never h...

Looks like his car had staggered rear caps, would explain the hub difference. A local Trinity driver had a host of different hub widths for the Evo10 SS...so it's likely a one off on Joel's car
