Couple tracks local for me talking about doin some oval....MY SC10t needs to get finished then im thinking of doin one for oval i wasn't sure if i wanted to do one rear or mid, but After seeing yours i mite go mid you have some great ideas

My light box works best outside

:lol: :lol: :lol: Two in one night! Man what is up with you?

dont the new stealths have the bigger gt diff in them?

yep, clamp, vice is best.

remember that metal has some spring to it, especially tempered material, such as the T6 in the chassis you are looking at. You will have to bend it slighly 'over' flat so that it springs back to straight.

best thing to do...

I believe these are the front axles for the trailing-style steering knuckles, the ones in the picture.

yep, saw them once I had the part# confirmation... thanks!

Hi,

I've been following your thread. I just got a beater RC10T from eBay and am in the process of stripping down, cleaning, etc.

How much would you charge me to make a set of the tranny spacers? THey are too cool!

The gold ones are no longer in production, so ebay is probably your best bet. Or, just hang out around here long enough and you will probably be able to make a deal with someone.

can i up grade to a bigger motor ?

Those have been discontinued. Here's a full used body mount set in white on eBay:

I run all my old Novak, Tekin and Futaba esc's with 7.4 volt 2 cell lipo packs. No problem! Just remember when you notice a power drop, STOP the car! You do not want to get below 6 volts on a 7.4v lipo!

Isn't that what the Novak Smart-Stop Li-Po...

if you could find the right size of foam, i think you could pull it off. you should try it on some wheels that you don't want. practice makes perfect. you might have to get creative with a tire lathe and a dremel.

for the 3 piece wheels: you could...

Another super cool older post

towerhobbies have them in stock

OK, that's two more T2's in the world with painted bodies. Here's mine.

I got the CVD bones from my friend. but he didn't know where it was from. it could be from T4 or GT2
those bones are 4mm longer than T2 CVD bones.
we need someone who has T2 and T4 both :D

the parts what I got for this setup are
T4 front C hubs and...

HEY MOMO what have you been up to ? have not seen you or heard from ya much.
get back in touch when you have the time. NEED TO do some catching up. Rustbucket

Yep last of the team trucks I recently bought one just like it . I am converting it to T3 specs for a runner.

oh i got em. they go with the BBT sprintcar project i got .will go with the car if i trade it like planned.
yeah! just traded my BBT sprint car I never ran it. shoulda kept it though. good luck on yr project Johnnyboy

Hello all! I recently acquired a RPM chassis and can't decide how to proceed with her build. Do I go all RPM? What color arms? Is there any other all RPM RC10's? If so PLEASE share, I'd like to see them. If not, I would really like to get some ideas...

Yup ROH73 is selling them, they fit real good, I did mine in like 15 minutes, but if I had taken my time it would have come out a lot nicer.

I ran 5 qualifiers and a main and it held like a champ, very strong and durable.

Thanks for that reply. How about some pics of your SC10T SteveK. I would love to see it. Please do post a few.

I want to say it's a Lycra or Spandex type of cloth. Very thin, smooth and stretchy. My wife sews also and she is going to see if she can pick up some of the same stuff and make a few sets for my other trucks. My T3 and other T2 are in need of them,...

thank you for the info and all the help

might not be a bad idea to try, but keep in mind it will take alot more energy to both spin and stop that metal spur gear.

i tried one on a gt year and years ago, and it ended up being worse than a plastic gear since it ate up pinions like crazy.

You're going to have to go to a smaller pinion. The original Stealth gear ratio wasn't really truck+stock motor friendly. If you can, pick up a MIP Change Box or the RPM conversion. They both raise the internal ratio to where you can use reasonably...

The most important thing with diff rebuilds is to make sure there is little to no slip. If the diff is slipping it will generate heat and ultimately melt your diff centre which is made of plastic. I'd rather run a diff thats a little more tighter...

You wouldn't happen to live in Australia would you?

No :? ..you're not suggesting that this is big G are you.. :cry:

Awesome work, Its good to see people with skill sets putting them to good use! Besides its a good way to recycle your old R/C Stuff. Im doing a SC10T3 conversion and might do a 10Gt as well. We might start a conversion open class!

Agreed, I'm...

Yea. I had the BJ4WE and was very happy with it, but finding parts was somewhat difficult. Then the front mount for the suspension broke, along with some others. I really liked the car (and being different) but when the B44 became available, i...

Looks like this will be an interesting thread to watch. Too bad I didn't catch it earlier as I have a couple sets of those rear tires.

Cool. Looking forward to the builds. :)

ae has great customer service and even better for shops. when i was working everything we had a defective part or just needed something replaced for a customer that normally wouldnt be covered under warranty or covered unless it broke we would call...

it sucks the shop closed we were the only decent one in the general area and i loved the job although i was in the back alot of the time but it was a great group of guys i worked with and i was able to do the job in my chair and the owner sa that...

I contacted Atlas and he doesnt have any right now but may soon, said to check the buy sell area but dont think I have access to that but havent even looked to see what the rules are to see that. Still like to get one if someone comes across one.

I think I'm correct in that the T2 and GT share a common stock bellcrank and the unit in the pix (I don't know the maker) is MEANT for the 2nd gen GT which does not use a separate nose plate. The switch is a matter of convenience.

That MIP steering came with it's own hardware, if you don't have it, your in trouble

That is, unless you have a hand lathe...

the hand lathe.
when your missing mip posts, you can make them with an old wing tube, a file, and a drill...
for...

that's exactly what I was thinking, but I figured I would ask anyhow... :D

Thanks Mr lexan and no problem steve thats why we are here.

Yep, I've dealt with Kenny before. He's a straight shooter and quick shipping.

Superb build Shodog.
I will try and post some of my projects as soon as I can handle the posting part on here. 8)

Great truck, great pictures! 8)

How bout some pics?, did the Evader hubs change any dimensions?

As soon as I put some electronics on it, I'll take some body off pictures.... :D

Thats a good idea I never thought to do that, leave it raw like you said. Will cutting the chassis dow serverly destroy the integrety of it? This is a heavy truck and thats why I wasnt ing to sell it. Beens I can I wanna shed some weight. Again with...

man i want one of those bodies really bad.....

I ended up using the Rc10T CVD bones and the new quick connects for the T4. Works absolutely awesome!!!

sc10 does NOT use hex wheels. they are the same as the t4. if you have 3/16 axles you are good to go. and the front wheels have the exact bearings as the front of a 10t

feel free to send them my way.

My latest acquisition has the wheel adapters, but sadly no mounts. I am interested!
