Shaved the rear tower so the body could sit down just a hair in the rear. Had to lean the top of the front shocks in. But it fits well enough for a shelf queen. I know I’m not supposed to like the modern stuff. But I do like the low slung stealth...
I'm just waiting on some parts to arrive to finish this one but it will be a runner for sure. It's made up of many left over parts and will have a vintage look. It will be powered by a crazy .12 that is overkill, but should sound like an angry...

You can replace the pull start with a Sullivan Tiger Drive. I have one on one of my GT's and it works great. S702 Drive and a S698 Shim Kit as needed.

That looks clean Doug- I really need to snag me an old 10T.
There must be a way to Convert RC10T to take Hex Wheel & Tires.
Does anyone have any information on that.
Thanks in advance.

That servo mount method is brilliant! Thanks for sharing that pic/thread!

Well that answers my question guys, thanks. To comfortably fit the truck, it’s wheels/tires, I will disconnect the arms on one side and bag the components. Next I will continue my quest for a T2 box and 10T box.

yes they are all similar in being three gear, but more than half of parts are different. Different trans case, diff gear, rings, idler gear, motor plate. The top shafts can swap; bearings, diff balls and thrust assembly also all cross between...
