Frankentruck RC28T rebuild

I've got this little RC28T and feel like it could be fun around the house. It has one major flaw though. It has no radio. Associated doesn't sell a replacement either. So I'm thinking that it just needs a new chassis loaded up with the smallest electronics that I have.

The missing element is the battery. There's a little 1S lipo in it, but I'm not sure running the Novak Spy on a 1S lipo is a good plan. Would I need a voltage cutoff or just runtime limit myself? Or, should I go with a little 4.8v NiMh battery?

I thought these looked pretty fun for $50, but, really, no front suspension?!?! :roll:

Guess I'll stick with my Losi Micro T's for indoor fun

Pan car technology, now for off road! :lol: :mrgreen:

Modern offroad is interesting, with its onroad tracks and now onroad cars.

I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner yet, but wanted to get this B3 buggy cleaned up. Yes I know it's missing 1 dog bone. Other than that, it's practically new. My kid would say it's lit and I'm cap. Thanks? 😁

bonus question

4) Any way to keep vanilla white nylon from becoming yellow over time?

Thanks!

I really think the only way is to keep it from UV exposure and air contaminates (smoke/oils ). Then it's just a matter of careful disassembly,...

I bought this awesome-ish frankentruck off of ebay. It was advertised as a Losi GTX, but I think I've determined it's really an RC10T3 with some team / factory parts that has a new chassis and the transmission has been swapped into a mid-motor...

The Frankentruck lost its body to one of the EGTs. But it got an upgrade. The replacement was from a shelfer GT, but didn't quite work with the T3 rear shock tower. After a little trimming and the addition of a pair of carbon fiber RC10B4 hub towers...

Hi all. :)

After seeing slotcarrod´s thread about his B2 runner I did feel an urge to (try) re-build mine which obviously was a mix between a B2 and a B3.
Have been trying to suck in as much info as possible about the B2 and this is todays stand,...

looks great. I have been doing similar with an old B3, but my route was almost all used parts slowly building a runner for cheap. I close to finishing soon. I heard a few parts for these are available from Thunder Tiger via the Phoenix BX which is a...

I see 6633 and 6614 on eBay for $30 shipped ea. :shock: If you want to try and save a few bucks you can try Facebook r/c groups. I agree with the 3/8 x 5/8 outdrive bearing mod. We were doing those in the very early 90's when bearings were roughly...
