Decisions...... T2 be made, ongoing ;)
After searching and waiting many years I finally found a nice enough and original enough T2 I wanted for my collection. Ok so do I keep the Reedy Firehawk in it or go with something else ?
Leave the Futaba esc or install a still new Novak Racer I’ve had awaiting the right platform. Get a new body ? Repop decals from MCI or just work with the original that was shot with a couple coats of candy purple pretty evenly but was never backed ?
What do you think ??

Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.

Re: Decisions...... T2 be made
We'll, what do you plan on doing with it? If it's going to sit on a shelf, the motor is fine. It is a 27T, 24° stock class motor. It was made for ROAR stock class racing.
It is also one of the motors (several) listed in the parts list for a T2, so it is "correct" for it. The manual itself shows a DS stock motor.
While I have nothing against those Futaba esc's, it's hard to argue with putting a Novak in it.
If they wouldn't have painted the windows, I might could live with the purple. I'd probably do a reproduction body and decals.

Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Re: Decisions...... T2 be made
Very much appreciate the info.
As for the body I was considering working with different backing colors to create some form of a paint scheme that’s pleasing to look at. Use black for the windows so the purple is less detectable... designs done with a combination of white, silver, chrome, and black attempting to make it look like full purple candy was purposely done from the start. Think something like that may work out ?

Re: Decisions...... T2 be made
Realized I didn’t answer your question, this ones set for a shelf life. I did pick up a nice T3 figuring that’ll stop me from using this one but that ended up being a way too nice and complete team truck that I couldn’t risk ruining so I picked up an extremely well used standard T3 that really doesn’t care what I do to it.

That Futaba ESC actually brings back memories. I was stoked to finally upgrade it to the Novak though. So for me would be tough to choose too, I'd probably go with the Novak though, maybe the Futaba for a RC10T build... Don't see many RC10T2's for sale. Nice clean truck

Re: Decisions...... T2 be made
While looking for a couple tubs I knew I had I stumbled upon the missing link I forgot that I had purchased…….
The battery hold down for my T2, this thing was harder to get then an entire truck. Finally it’s got all its parts.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.
