Looking good so far. Makes me want to start restoring my SRT soon

Thank you

Anyone know if it is still possible to find original tires (Proline 7822 Mini Pin and Proline 7870 Block Ribbed) and a decal sheet??

By the way: should i mount the standard gear cover or the NIP very rare RPM one ??

it is possible to find. just give it some time.

i would go with the stock gear cover.

EBay on the tires, but on the 7036 like yours (not the sport) you want the Pro-95 Edge and Pro-90 mini pins if your trying to be original

any word on the t2 body from your hobby shop?

Edge Tires won't be a problem...are still available. I've also noticed that the rear yellow wheels also are very hard to find :-/

I still have not received information about the availability of the T2 bodies here in EU...have to ask again.

I had never thought that it would be soooo difficult to find a battery strap -.-

you could just get some 1 piece rims for the front and rear. makes the truck look more race-like. unless you're restoring your truck to the way you had it? the battery strap pops up every now and then. just keep an eye out. OR you could just put a wanted ad in the b/s/t area. you might get lucky and score one from someone.

No, the front and rear wheels should be the same ... Even if I'm running, everything must fit together ... even the rims

I'd love a thread in the b / s / t area, but I still did not satisfy the conditions ... must wait :-/ and I check every day on ebay.

if i run across the wheels or brace i'll shoot you a pm. how bad are your old wheels? or do you still have them?

These are the tires / rims I got with the truck:





As you can see, these are in poor condition :-/

ah, i thought you were talking about the sport 3 piece wheels. the fronts, part # 7842Y, are still available through associated. you should ask your shop, while you're asking them about the t2 body. the rears, part # 7803Y, you will have to find. as for the tires, if you have no luck in finding the prolines you could put on losi ifmar stud rears and losi directional fronts. they are period correct.

Hi guys,

I was absent for a time here, sorry.

But the build report will follow soon

Cheers,

good to see you're back on the project daniel.

Hey Rob, nice to hear from you

I have collected during all the time the missing parts for the T2 and worked on other projects. The last parts are now on the way to me. Then I should have almost every part I need. Hope to finish the T2 during the two next weeks still looking for a body but i think i will be looking a long time for it...

Also got some rare parts new in package on stock like universals, motor plate, battery strap...

Cheers,
Daniel

Nice build so far...
