Last night I got the trans case boiled, and also dug out the pair of Pro 90s that I bought, and boiled those to get them off the wheels they were glued to. I damaged one of them a bit, but hopefully not enough to show once it's installed on the 10T wheel. I also mounted my Pro 45s to the front wheels. Hopefully soon I can start putting this thing together!

What about these?

Early thin webbed?

I bought these for a restoration project after I got them I realized the part number is for a GT.

Cheers, Dave.

They look to be thin Dave. GT's, and 10T's used the same arm.

I've made some progress, although I didn't take pics of all of it. I put the trans back together, and this time I added a little oil, and now it spins smoother than spit.

I also put the rear arms together, along with most of the front end:


I just bought a black-tub RC10 with a JG monster truck conversion because it had some parts that I needed, namely a stealth trans for 10T #2 (I stole the stealth out of #2 for #1), and the correct ball cups for my turnbuckles. Once I harvest the best ball cups from the 10T and that RC10 I just got, I can assemble my turnbuckles and put those on, and get this thing more or less put together. Best of all, this RC10 that I just picked up had a pair of Pro-45 tires on it. I hope they're in as good of shape as they looked in the auction pics.

I also scored a great deal on 2 pairs of non-logo Pro 90s on some really nice rear wheels. The only issue with the wheels is that they were drilled in the rear to vent them, but I should have some other rear sections hanging around that I can use. Now I have 2 pairs of Pro-45s and non-logo Pro-90s, and enough new and like new wheels to go around.

About all I need now for this truck is a better B stamp chassis with offset battery tray, and a body.

Looks like it's really starting to come together,

nice work!

Cheers, Dave.

Yesterday I got the Pro 90s mounted up to my new wheels, and parked them next to the Pro 45s. Nice looking set.

Great build thread. Cant wait to see the end result.

This is a good read mate,thanks for sharing.. Love the 10T

This week I made a little bit of progress. I'm using the original chassis for now until I can find a better one. I want to find an earlier B stamp with only the offset holes, but for now, this one is going to suffice. It's pretty clean, and would be a great chassis if it weren't for the enlarged holes.



I also got enough ball ends between this truck, my other 10T and that buggy that I just picked up to do all of my turnbuckles after giving the ball cups a good bath:


I also spent a large chunk of my time today trying to mount that set of Pro 45s that were on the buggy I bought, but that's proven to be extremely difficult. The bead size on those tires has somehow stretched to the point where I can't get the center piece of the 3 piece wheels to fit around it. I had to use a sanding disk on my dremmel and carefully remove a LOT of the material on the inside of the bead until I got it to fit. So far I've only got one of the two tires done. I'll have pics once I get those done.
