I have a painted wing lying here. As I said: I painted it the wrong way...

I will fix it with some tape just to check how it looks like :)

I think it would be okay with a small wing...

For a TBG body, that looks great. I may need to grab one and lay my paint scheme on it. You need to cut a "notch" in the front bumper to fit the nose a little better. If you look at an original RC10T body you will see what I'm talking about.

Yeah I already did it. I noticed immediately that the body would not fit properly without that "notch" :)

Well...I had too much parts lying around so I decided to convert this sports truck to a Team Truck :)

I love the look of the skinny truck rims, so I will put them on my truck. Same for some Losi X-patern tires which came with a tire lot I bought in Ebay Germany :) what do you think about let the dust on the tires for a different look :D ??

Oh...missing one of these RCPS ?? turnbuckles. Would be cool if someone could help me out with this :)

Modifications done... Just missing one RCPS turnbuckle to put them on the truck. The narrow front wheels need a peroxide bath :)

I'm going to install a Tekin 411 ESC and nice, period correct servo :)

Concerning the tub: I think I will swap it with a new one and use this for another project after re-ano or powder-coating :roll:

Very nice job on this RC10T resto!

I like the slammed body, it looks better with the rear spoiler, IMO.
One thing I noticed, the side of the body is below the chassis. I like the low look of the body, but wonder what it would look like with the bottom of the sides cut even with the bottom of the chassis?

I'd definitely buy a sheet of lexan and custom make a wing. The size of that one detracts from that nice body. I built my custom ones (dimensions based off the one you have) by just heating it and bending it.

Thank you! Yeah I'm thinking about cut it one or two cm's... I think it will look better. But I just cut it followong the lines :)

What do you mean? A smaller wing?

I mean, the wing could be a little wider.
