my wife keeps telling me that i dont have to spend this money on the kids....but little does she know that i am using the kids to spend the money on the cars/trucks for me...HAHAHA JK
EVERYTIME i take the trucks out, something breaks...
yesterday did some bashing with the kids, our 4x4 slash and my revo 3.3 that i just had a new motor put in. After a great day of bashing, no injuries..haha and only 1 minor break (the eletric starter motor on the revo got ripped off), today i tried taking the revo out again and now i cant get it to increase in RPMS for any period of time. The second it starts to rev, it just turns off...WTF
off to the hobby store again...haha
right now i am putting together a shopping cart on AMAIN for a bunch of parts for the 10 so my kid can take it out next saturday at this sick track in phoenix...they actually have the racing brackets divided up in age groups...hes stoked.
i put losi 50wt in the schocks...but didnt do anything much other than that. i met this guy at the track recently and he has a BUNCH of Associated trucks and he was telling me that for the money i am going to spend on this truck that it would be more worth to just sell it off and get a T4. not sure i am ready to do that since this has sentimental value, and with the other trucks that i have...dont think i need another money pit...haha. with the money that i have spent on upgrades for our slash 4x4 and my revo 3.3 along with all the fixes that i have to do contstantly...not sure another high end truck will help the wallet.
besides...this truck is perferct for my 9 year old. he has a lot to learn about driving...but hes getting it.
i was going to upgrade to the V2 shocks that you had mentioned....
gunna now update CVDs, carriers, get some dirt tires, t4 battery holder, and some dirt tires finally...so not cheap
He is correct in the respect of money, the cheapest way for me to build my 10t race truck eod have been to buy a T4.1 and use most of the parts. But, there is nothing like your boy using your old gear
Can someone (likely temple), please help me ID this? I assume either an early Duratrax or Dragon/Demon (can't remember the name) Nitro Converison. I bought it as I thought I would be getting some white 10GT parts, but upon closer inspection, it is...

Since the topic is up. Here's my newest Dudgeon next to my complete truck. Missing the trans and trans brace. It'll get one eventually
I'm pretty sure I have the parts you need to finish your truck. PM me if you're interested
See post #43 for current pictures. All other pictures lost…..
Going to base this off of what someone would have built in the beginning of the nitro craze before conversion kits were available. Only sacrifice to original parts will be a used...

Skinny tires and cut windows. Now it needs a windshield banner to cover up the scratch I made.
First time on this forum, I found it a few days ago. There is some really cool stuff and some great info to be found. I thought I'd post a couple of photos of a truck that I've had since 1996-ish. It's an Rc10T with a nitro conversion. I believe it...

Thanx. Kinda figured that but then in the long run why not just run a ribbed tire then is why it didn't add up with the voices in my head... 8)
Alright, I have this idea of converting my 10t to a psuedo 10ds floating around in my head. I think I could cut shock towers and a simple no-kick up nose from carbon, (if anyone has a template or basic measurments of the shock towers for a DS that...

So RC10 buggy rear arms are a different length? That's the main hold up question in this plan... How wide is and rc10? I was hoping to keep the truck front bulkhead in one piece, that would limit choices on front A-arms as well. According to tower...
Hello everyone I just wanted to reach out and ask if there are any hex wheel Conversions that have been cooked up. I have tried looking through the threads but keep getting distracted looking and reading through other ones that I have not found...

T4 wheels fit perfectly.
Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear :D
So I was hoping to soak up some knowledge from you guys. I'm about to embark on a short course conversion using my RC10T as a platform. The only problem is I don't have the tools or knowledge to perform the nose plate extension required to meet ROAR...

Thanks for the info. Just to make sure, 1/8 Thick, 12 X 24 is enough? I'm glad it's not too pricey also.
