Re: RC10T - Bringing back the fun
I may, just may, end up with another truck after all If this happens I will again put all the "better" bits on this truck.
In the meantime I installed all the electronics except the motor since I don't have it yet. I will however run LiPo's in the truck, hopefully I'll be able to make a vintage looking label for it. The Tamiya battery was just to set up the radio.

Re: RC10T - Bringing back the fun
I thought about that, it would be awesome as mid mount with a square GT body. I know the wheel base is really close but I haven't mocked a truck up yet.
The truck I'm buying appears to have a trimmed down chassis and motor plate, so I will build a more era correct race truck runner. I wish I had some more reference photos of early 10T race trucks but they are hard to come by. I was thinking a Pavidis-ish 10T but all white, although his 10T winner is fairly standard compared to his later cars.

Re: RC10T - Bringing back the fun
While I'm waiting on the post man to bring me another truck I'll keep going with this for the meantime.
Here's a body that I'm looking at using, while the current "square" 10T offerings are only wide this one is quite narrow and looks more like a "race" body. I'm not sure if I really like it yet or not as it looks a lot like a Traxxas body. They were cheap enough so I bought a couple anyways as it fits the 10T quite well, good for a runner.

Re: RC10T - Bringing back the fun
Nice build, and I really like your 'runner' body, especially the aero rear section. I'd like to find a cheap runner 'T body, they seem to get shredded easily, but stadium trucks are so fun to drive! What body is that?

Thanks guys, I thought it was a copy of something else but the more I look it appears to be original. It is a Frewer Stadium Slammer.

Re: RC10T - Bringing back the fun
Well, I was bored waiting for parts to arrive to finish other projects, so, I thought I'd see if this would work......
A little more testing is needed.

Re: RC10T - Bringing back the fun
Thanks Todd,
I wanted to install the white battery cups instead of the cradle but I was running out of daylight. Something is a little bit off in the rear, whether the chassis is a touch long or the wheelbase or optical illusion with the shock angle.
More playing is needed and a hybrid rear tower made. I like the early square GT body which requires a narrow tower.
This was really just a test to see if the chassis would work for a truck.
