nice build Rich, I can't believe you are going to run that. I was building my T2 (cobalt) and had every intention of running it. After it was all done I really don't want to it too pretty now.

You've done a loverly job with this and the A&L RichieRich, you've got a great eye for a period look, I have total respect to you for running these cars as it's something I could not do, enjoy 8)
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Those who dance are often called insane by those who cannot hear the music.

When it comes to running vintage new builds, I cannot hear the music :)

Kudos Richie on another great looking ride.
He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.

Rich, I've got a truck and buggy kit...I wouldn't run the rear arms....especially since the black Associated arms are indestructible. I'm going to run my truck once I get my electronics and a tranny for it. I'm looking for an MIP change box, it uses the RC10GT's larger diff and then I can run that 12 turn :mrgreen:

Hey Adam! Yeah, I have a set of associated rear arms that I will use instead too. The stock rear arms look way too fragile and I don't wanna risk busting them up.

I'll get some action pics this spring. Thanks for all your comments!

Once I get home, I'll post some pics of the truck. I'll try to get some when I'm racing it this March as well...I'm going for an old school paint job based on my uncle's 10 second '69 Camaro :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The diff gear in that MIP gearbox is actually thinner than the GT/B4/T4 diff gear, but you're right, they are the same size. You would either have to grind down the inside of the case for the wider diff gear or precisely cut the gear down.
Old school racing all the way!

carloco8, I never thought of looking at a difference in thickness, I'll take a look at that when I get home. Thanks for the heads up!
