also try acetone and wd40 to remove sticker residue. Just be careful with acetone on plastics, and of course, wd40 is oil so it will leave an oily finish that would need to be cleaned up(if possible)
Sorry for the lack of progress on this build. I've been working on several other runner projects lately. This truck is almost done though, it's been built on two diff chassis so far but I just found a chassis and nose plate that are perfect so as soon as I get everything swapped over, I'll take some pics and post them. I have to change connectors on a few of the electronics and then they can be dropped in as well. All that I really need for this project now is an original body which I've had no luck in finding.
This project is done, I'm just waiting on the body to arrive. It looks a little different then it does in these pics. I moved the Tekin reverse module to the chassis. I didn't like how it looked hanging from the shock tower. I'll post more pics after the body is mounted. The reverse module, Reedy motor and receiver are new and never run and it has a working Tekin G-9 ESC, a Futaba 3003 servo and a 1300 6 cell pack. I tried to build this truck with as many original #7001 parts as I could find. The old chassis was just too thrashed so I found a new, never run chassis and nose plate. Thanks to everyone who made this build possible. More pics to come.
So I finally received my body from TBG and I have a question about trimming. I've seen trucks with the tailgate section cut out, and trucks with it left in tact. Which route should I go for this truck? I don't plan on painting it.
Here is my flea market find restored to its original glory. Found this for $20 about 2 years ago and couldn't pass it up, cleaned it up a bit and put it on the shelf in the garage. Well I found this site and got inspired to retsore it to as clsoe to...

Looks amazing. I've always loved the look of the engine hanging out the rear like a jet 😎. I recently picked up an Advance in similar condition. Planing a resto too.
Here's my attempt at an RC10L fiberglass box art restoration. I started tonight by laying everything out and taking inventory. It looks like I have everything for the build except the body, the correct esc, batteries and of course, a drivers figure....

I'm finished with this project finally. The only thing it needs is for me to take the vintage cells I have and make a saddle pack for it. These pics are a little outdated as it now has a Bolink Porsche 962 GTP body and I threw on some vintage ti...

Looks great. I restored my original truck last year and recently got a photo of it and my RC10 in RC Car Action readers rides. I sure love looking at both vehicles and thinking of all the fun I had racing them over the years
OK I've looked around a bit and can't seem to find photos of the original RC10T Box Art paint scheme. Now that i've finished my buggy and 6 wheeler restorations next up is my RC10T and then the 10L. (sure wish I still had my RC500 and 1/12 scale...
Just about got my bodies prepped for two Box art repros, one 7011 and one 7035. Have a couple of questions before I get started.
7011

I got the same sheet and a jrxt sheet haven't used rc10 sheet yet but the losi one looked fine but on fitting they are very transparent giving a not quite right colour effect.
So I decided to rebuild my 10T runner with its original parts along with new parts to retire and shelf it now that I'm done with my T2 runner. With the exception of the main chassis tub and the stealth transmission case everything else is new. Here...

That is a good looking truck! I love the skinny front wheels on it too. You did a great job on it! Sorry, Not sure which ESC is better though...
