Hi Guys,
Yes I will confirm that this is not an Associated Prototype. Not sure who made it but it didn't come out of the AE Factory.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I have Chris Raceles' factory GT from 94 that has some of these mods, prototype towers, graphite rear shock mounts, hand molded body. This seems to confirm (not surprisingly) that the GT was getting the same treatment as the T/T2 at that time.

Thanks man, good to "see" You too. I moved a bunch of stuff around in my photobucket files, must have broken those links when I did. I'll take some new pics and post them here if you want me too. I actually just got a new camera from my boss for Christmas, this will be the perfect way to break it in.

I haven't got a chance take any new pics yet, but here are the originals that show the prototype parts.

One off 6131 body.

Prototype front shock tower. Wider at the top than the production 10t/t2/gt tower.

Prototype rear shock tower. Slightly different, But basically the same as the production version.
Image

Prototype fiber filled rear arms, bottoms sanded down by Chris Raceles. One off carbon rear shock mounts.

i have added adam rayls's winning rc10t2 setup from this year's vintage nats, along with the rear tower mod, to the first page. i'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

if there are any other modifications or other details that weren't posted i'll add them as i learn of them.
