Why did you mount he servo opposite of what you would do in the buggy? My truck and buggy both have the servo mounted identically. I didn't feel any performance issues with the servo monted this way.

Hi,

I just built it following the instruction manual :) I don't like this solution too, but who cares... it 's not a runner :)

Cheers,

Hey guys,

the TBG slammed body arrived today!

I made some pictures and compared it with the classic body. The slammed body looks a bit of modern, sporty, has sexy curves ;) it also comes with a spoiler.

The body will be painted in next days :)

Your pictures make the body look so much better than what they use on eBay. I can't wait to see it painted before I decide what to do. I'm on the fence with this or a JConcepts T4.2 Finnisher.

Yes, pictures on ebay are crap :mrgreen: I was not sure what I had bought before it arrived today, it was almost a kind of surprise :) I would go for this one or grab the classic RC10T body, just to keep it vintage :) a modern body will not harmonize with this old chassis (in my opinion).

Yes :) Didn't know that when I ordered this body. I ordered a spoiler extra but it seems like I won't use it :)

It seems that my truck has the mashed shock towers :)

Thanks for the pics Vale! The two types of towers I had mentioned before are basically the same, only difference is the finish, one flat ( you cannot see the mesh), and the other (yours) is glossy, mesh visible.

Hey guys,

Body shell is painted now :) I didn't want to spend 60 bucks for a paint job so I just painted it myself with some Tamiya spray cans.

It's not perfect but I'm happy with the result :) The spoiler is missing... I painted it the wrong way, so I have to wait for another one :oops:

Quality is good and it fits perfectly :) I will post more pictures and compare it again with the classic body.

Almost done...just waiting for the wing now :) But actually I don't know if I really should install it!? What do you mean?

More pictures for you guys. I think I don't need to post more pictures to compare it with the classic 10T body :)
