Forum image attachments acting strange, so editing this a bit. New in bag TQ wheels that came back to the US from Germany several years ago. 20240223_193455.jpg Instructions included with the TQ wheels. 20240223_193634.jpg On a roll as a roller. 20240223_195142.jpg New in bag TQ tires! 20240223_1954...

Scored a clean stock motor on Ebay. 20240302_102038.jpg Shame that the label is not visible once installed, but looks more at home than a Trinity motor. 20240302_102614.jpg 20240302_100200.jpg Protection installed. 20240302_103242.jpg And for the first repro part on the project. I'll probably use a ...

A little more progress today. A trusty S148 servo mounted and also the antenna holder. A TBG body is also now on order.

I once had a TBG body go missing for months. He ended up refunding my money. He was having trouble getting materials at the time, so it was about three months before I was able to reorder. Then, both showed up the same week. Someone must have whipped the USPS facilities into shape around here, as t...

While I was waiting for the TBG TQ10 body to make its way through the USPS black hole, I decided to slap together a Graphite basket case that has been warming the shelf for a number of years. I decided to be a little less strict on my OEM only rule, so there will be a few parts substitutions along t...

Nice collection of part for the build. The gold motor guard is a nice addition. The factory graphite is my favorite version on RC10. Thanks. I got lucky with the motor guard on Ebay probably 10 years ago. I agree, the "plate" cars are really neat. A bit of scrubbing and a peroxide soak li...

More progress today hanging plastics. The 6371 universal joint axles were re-blued and look great. 20240309_135010.jpg 20240309_140659.jpg Went with a 6 hole NIP front tower as the original 4 hole was fairly beat. 20240309_130103.jpg Stealth assembled. 20240302_155719.jpg 20240302_155705.jpg Coming ...

Shocks built up from the "best of the rest" used bodies and caps with new springs. NIP rear shock tower.
I wonder who J.V. is. Did a good job packing the motor guard back in the day.

Thanks! 8) The TQ10 I've also been assembling received the lone set of TQ wheels I had. In my search for another new or clean used set, I decided to take a look at some Imex dish wheels. I found a set of direct fit fronts, but had no luck finding direct fit rears. 20240330_165540.jpg The wheels are ...

Stock motor installed.
FanRC knockoffs replace locknuts.
TBG Protech 2.
Trimmed. Body sides are barely deep enough to cover the chassis.

RC10T built from a mixture if NIP parts, FanRC shocks, Andy's painted Team Moo-ish body, MCI decals, Reedy Ultra Mr. E, etc.

I received a JRXT for Christmas in 1990 to partner the JRX2 I received the year before. I'm pretty sure that my folks bought it at Arcar South, a hobby shop not far from my home in Georgia. Arcar hosted the 1990 Kyosho 1/8 Offroad Challenge. A JRXT was on the cover of the RCCA July 1990 issue that a...

I decided to attempt to clean up the body and see if it could look decent on the shelf. I removed some of the extraneous decals and hit some of the worst curb rash with 1000 grit sand paper. Then I applied some PlasticX polishing compound and buffed it with a rotary buffer. 20250127_092016.jpg Looks...

The pics show an early Jrx T unter that red shell! I see the NIP black super star wheels on the bench, so what's the plan? Yup - a fairly early truck. The NIP wheels reveal a part of the plan... :D I remember you here from wsyyyy back when this place was young- Ditto! It's nice to find some time to...
