This is one of the coolest builds to this day. What kind of tires are those in the front? I've been working on a J82 build and i do not want to drive on my vintage groovy tiresLavigna wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2017 12:37 am I made some finishing touches to the truck. I added the following.
- New 3 piece skinny front wheels and new rears. Dyed black
- New RPM rear bulkhead
- New RPM inner rear arm mounts
- New RPM rear over sized bearing hubs
- New black anodized aluminum chassis screws to replace the yellow/green stock pieces
After I took these photos, I altered the shocks so the Andy's body sits lower on the chassis, and looks correct. I will have to take a few more photos to show it. This thing is now pretty much done. I don't think there is anything more I would want to do to it. In person, it is so cool looking. I wish I could capture that better in the photos.

The full ribbed skinny front tires are Associated #7871. The dashed pattern tires from the photo you referenced are (I THINK) Proline, but I don't have a part number. I have been busy building Losi's the past few years, so all my Associated knowledge is gone.
I'm sure someone on here can provide a part #. They aren't easy to find though.

Re: RC10T - Purple Modern Build
The graphite is nice, when you can find it. But the basic black works well too.
I dyed this transmission case with the regular black. It took three, 30 minute sessions. I'd remove all the pieces and return the liquid to a boil, and then remove from heat and place the pieces back in.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Re: RC10T - Purple Modern Build
I tried to color correct / lighten one of the photos.
