Restored 10Ts
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2009 7:15 pm
I've finished restoring my two RC10Ts this fall thanks to the help of this board. They had been collecting dust for about 15 years. Amazingly, everything still works, even my Panasonic 1700 NiCads.
Both are pretty much stock.
Truck 1 is the original issue 10T with bearings:
Novak 610RV
Reedy Mr.R
I set this truck up to look like an oversized buggy with the skinny front wheels and an old RC10 shell (more on that in another post). This truck was full of rust and dirt (I used to love to take it off snow jumps), and still shows some wear and tear, but everything is original. I wish I had some "before" pics to share.
Truck 2 is the factory team issue
Novak 610HRV
Reedy Mr.A
This truck is also stock, except for some new ball cups, servo, and rear tires. I remember getting this truck so I didn't feel bad about trashing the first one. It was alway kind of a backup, rarely driven, and thus the chassis is almost perfect. I had an old body (proline?) that was never painted, so I finished it up with rattle cans and some T4 stickers.
Some pics...
