Well as discussed in other threads, I finally rebuilt my old RC10GT (7057 model). I didn't want to break any of the rare white pieces so I started ordering the Factory truck parts to go with the factory blue chassis I had from years back.
Now it turns out I have enough parts to build a totally new truck lol! Oops... Damn ebay.
Once I get the rest of the bits that are on order I'll post the build pics but here are some starters:
Current build of the "new" truck chassis and the old one
Looks killer! I swore off nitro forever, but seeing that after a couple of cold ones really gives me the hankerin' for the rattle of a well tuned mill!
"The world looks so much better through beer goggles: Enjoy today, you never know what tomorrow may bring." Ken
And of course the SG crank on the .18 won't fit... so that is now on the shelf awaiting a future SC10 Factory Team kit... *sigh*
Then I ordered a nice OS .18 CV-R that is designed for the RC10GT, sure enough when it arrived it dropped right in. Good job OS supporting and old truck!
Now I'm still stuck trying to find that 7728 anywhere in stock... or sitting at the bottom of someone's parts bin!
Awesome!!! Many many thanks. I've placed the order, hopefully they did have it in stock lol.
Now I just need Tower to complete the back order for the 7306 servo mounting screw I should have everything. Unless of course someone finds a set in a store somewhere
I'll post some new pics with the motor mounted etc.
Awesome job guys! The muffler support arrived today from that hobby store and I finally got that mounted, which let me trim my temporary body (Thunder Tiger Phoenix converted over).
Now unfortunately Tower Hobbies has not come through with the servo steering screws that are still back ordered from Thunder Tiger.
So lets try here again, anyone seen a 7306 screw set anywhere? These are the long and short screw that the steering linkage sits on.
My local hobby shop might still have a few of these hanging on the hooks. Drop me a pm if you don't hear back from me after the weekend...just to get me motivated if I don't get there tomorrow

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
Well I dug my old RC10CE out of storage. It was missing a few parts, and the shocks seemed a little sketchy. I recently cleaned it all up, rebuilt the Stealth and the shocks. Original shell was MIA so picked up a JConcepts shell, and ordered a repo...

Well My 10T was looking pretty bad after 12 years. The pan was bent it was really dirty and needed bearings. And the tub has a lot of nicks in it. So I took it all the way apart and cleaned everything. but I tried something a little different to...

The body is a 70 ford made by proline.
Truck looks good I have never seen a 10t with a rear sway setup. Nice old vintage look with that body.
I couldn't take it anymore. All that dirt, grime, and the crazy nest of zip ties just sitting there on the shelf among all the nice clean cars.
The original condition of the car can be seen here:
Here it is after a complete tear-down and rebuild....

That turned out nice and the best part is when your not running it, you can use the tub to grate parmesean cheese on your pasta.
Hi guys, can I use the GT Diff Rebuilt Kit No. 7677 for the original gold tub Stealth? Does the diff rings fit the original idler gear No. 6580? Any advise is very much appreciated! Thank you.

i saw thoes but they dont have the t-nut since the tc3's plastic outdrives have the nut moulded in. they would still work but i would just have to stock up on t-nuts in order to use them with standard outdrives
So, I am building/restoring a JRXT. A few questions
The instruction manual - There is a Rev A and B - what are the differences
The battery holder - did it have the original type then switch over to the swing arm?
The steering linkage - Did it only...

Welp looks like I have a JRXT chassis, Guess I'm making a long JRX2 in my future.
