So, as it seems to be a trend around here, I am rebuilding my RC10t that I built when I was like 12. I really enjoyed building it back then and about 10-12 years ago my brother got a couple new batteries and electronics and ran it a bit. Then it went in a box in the attic and has sat until my son turned 4 a few days ago and he received a bunch of the cheapo walmart rc cars. I decided to pull it out and see if it ran. Batts were dead and it would only run for like 3-5 minutes, but everything else seemed to work. The plan was to get a couple new batteries and a charger that I dont have to turn the dial every 15 minutes....~$350 later I am building a 9.5t brushless with 3s lipos.. I got it all cleaned up and shocks rebuilt so far. Waiting on bearings for the wheels and stealth and the cva conversion and a few misc parts. One question, will these axles work with the cva conversion kit if I want to run different newer style wheels? http://www.amazon.com/Associated-Electronics-9755-Rear-Axle/dp/B000VJ0YNS
Will any 48P pinion gears work with the stock spur?
Am I doing to demolish the stock diff and/or trans with this setup?
Got the batt tray rigged up to take the Turnigy 5000mah 3s 60-120C big bitches. Notched the rear bulkhead thing to allow the batt to sit upright rather than flat, like they are sitting on the wood in the first pic. Then I narrowed the stock batt cup for the front mount by taking material out of the middle and drilled the tub to mount it. Not sure what I am going to use as a strap or how i am going to secure it yet. Ill snap some pics of it tonight. Thinking maybe using hollow aluminum tube tapped to take the stock tapered head screw to mount to the chassis and a standard head with the hole for the pin in the top and have my buddy cnc an aluminum hold-down piece for me.
IIrc the associated cvd's were made for them by MIP. I think MIP have the patend on the CVD name. so basically comes down to which set you can get cheaper
Thanks Dave, it looks like I ordered the wrong kit, axles were too short. Is it worth going 1/4"? I did just get new 3/16" revolution bearings so Ill prob stay 3/16 for now i guess.
I ordered the Avid RC rc10t bearing kit assuming the stealth bearing were included, they, in fact, were not. Do you guys know what size bearings I need for this?
Oozzee, beer and a lot of things go hand in hand. lol
This is really addicting...just dropped another $80 on the correct cvd kit and steel stealth gears. Kinda rolling the dice if the idler is going to work. Thoughts?
Think Ill be able to press this gear on the stock idler shaft? The SC10 stealth seems to be pretty similar.
Sounds good, Ill run the stocker till it goes and then try the steel one. That Robinson one can be found on Amazon, I had it ordered but cancelled. Ordered that Cera-grease instead, maybe it will help a bit.
Thanks for the bearing sizes!
Thinking about starting with an 18t pinion gear, what do you guys think for my setup? I bought a 17-21 set so i can play around with it. Stocker that was on it was 14t lolz that would be like insta-flip with this lipo brushless setup.
General backstory of this T2: I got this truck brand new in 1996 when I was 10 years old, built it, ran it for a year or two at the local dirt track (RIP A-Main Raceway in Vancouver, WA) then got tired of being so much slower than the buggies that...

Alas, here is v1 of the revived T2. For electronics we went with:
Reedy SC600-BL speed control
Reedy 540-SL4 brushless/sensorless motor
Turnigy Trackstar TS900 steering servo
Flysky GT5 radio/FS BS6 receiver
Reedy WolfPack 3S 4500 mAH LiPo...
First a very happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!
I posted a while back regarding my old RC10 Team Car which I'd like to get running again (or shelf potentially...see below). Thanks Reggie and everyone for all the feedback on my questions....

I am wondering for the runner what would be the toughest chassis finish and how to do it. I imagine I need to have the old finish stripped, and then have the chassis treated.
I am thinking I would like it to actually feel like the outside of a...

In the photo second from the bottom, it looks like your front shocks are leaning back quite a bit which suggest a loose or bent plate. However, it could just be distortion in the photo. Anyway, you'll know when you install the new tubes; they will...
Well here is a restore project. A 20 year old RC10GT
I got this in auction. a 1993 white parts, black tub RC10GT. At first glance is was grimy...when i got it in the mail...IT WAS GRIMY but there was something cool about it...there where no...

Nice GT's. I miss mine and regret trading it off, had lots of fun racing
it till the track closed.
Thanks MrBreeze :mrgreen:.
I hope eventually you are able to pick one up, get it running and start enjoying that fun again.
