Thanks, I feel the same way, but I have a T4, T3 and T2 runner but do not have a 10T runner yet!

If you already have a 10T runner go with option B.
If you don't have a 10T runner go with option A.
Option C is always possible.

Thanks, I don't have a runner yet. I did make the orange and black 10T, but it needs a body and again it's so nice I don't know if I will run it as well.

I will think about your advice!

I say run the truck. You can only get so much enjoyment from the truck sitting on the shelf.

I would like to build a 10T. I actually had one but turned it into a old is new buggy. That body you have came off of my 10T I planned on running. I guess the truck is a runner now, just in the form of a buggy.

hey rod...I will see if I can find your white nuts. I will ask my wife to open wide tonight before bed

I have been going through the same issue with deciding weather or not to make my newly found 10T into a runner or shelf queen. With mine, all I got to do is powder coat the chassis black and clean it up. And get a body, but the tires are in fair shape.

I will run mine if you run yours

Lot of innuendos in this thread

I found a few large white nuts in your box, but don't think there will be any in my wife's until later

Yeah but some are 6/32 and others are 11/32

ok so let me get this right, you whats are bigger than your other what? Might want to get that checked out.

Found my white nuts thanks! 4-40 size!

I still can't make up my mind! A,B or C guys?

A) Build a fast runner with stronger non correct parts that sort of looks like a Cliff Lett truck?

B) Build a Cliff Lett shelf queen with as many correct parts as I can find?

c) Same as (B) but run it gently with lots of chassis tape?

I'm seeing a god's wink, what ever the eff that means, get some nuts and run it or not

when I took psychology courses in university, which were always multiple choice, I was always told that when in doubt, pick C

C is my final answer! You get to enjoy both running it, and having a Cliff Lett look alike. Getting all the parts will take a while and that's time you could be running it

I think I like C as well!

Can I use a lifeline?
