History of RC10T?

[esaresky75]

Just the way "Slotcarrod" has "25 years of the RC10", is there something similar for the RC10T?

[victor_cathedral]

i hope so

[Charlie don't surf]

I started out to do it- and have not gotten around to it-

what do you want to know specifically? I can answer it now

i would love to know the year the 10t came out, and also if there was ever a powdercoated green 10t,. because i have one (well whats left of one )

1991 was the release of the 7001 RC10T- 2 variations on that truck the Flouro tubs came out that same year-although a little later in the year and as you may already know they did not come in the boxes

That truck looks more like a 7035 team truck with the 2nd to last arms and towers-

ohh i see, so the colored tubs were an aftermarket thing from associated? that makes sense. thanks for the info !!

Yup, a lot of guys remember the Cliff Lett red flourescent truck from the 1991 Winternat's writeup in RCCA and ( myself included ) were really surprised to not find a red chassis in the box!!

But they did offer, green-red-blue-yellow-pink, and I have seen all the noses for the truck except pink

For starters, what chassis is this? I'm assuming it's aftermarket.

Looks like a Team Blue Groove Chassis

yes i have seen that same chassis, funny they are trying to represent it as a strange vintage hop-up

i have seen yellow, green, (obviously) and red, but never blue or pink pink imho would be awesome

Thanks. Anyone have experience with this "vintage chassis"?

[Charlie don't surf]

Yup, and much like his xerox lexan copies- the "chassis" would have been sub-par back in the day, and is horrible now-

i had the misfortune of stripping a blue powder coated pan it had a lot of imperfections and dents with fill in them underneath .
i have plans to do the last colour end of feb and it will include nose plates but not motor plates .
