RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

now, i know it's not very vintage. but, i'm a reader, and it's one of my rides, so BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i tore it all down, and cleaned it up. i also stripped the blue annodizing off the shock bodies while they were apart. i stripped the chassis shortly after i got it, so now the shocks have the bling factor, too.

and like most of my cars, this one needs a body, too. and a set of tires.

Nice, but it needs more blue not less

gt's rule. imo they can be considered somewhat vintage since the gt2 came out.

Awwright, I'll get some of my GT's on here... you ain't seen nothin' yet... No lame flat chassis stuff either!

Nice trucks guys. GT's are my all-time favorite R/C.

templeofspeed, do you have a GT with the Moo paint scheme on ? love to see a photo of that

I did the studs speed. Would not want that one taken a run up MY leg.

No, I hate painting. You'll see when I get some pics up... My avatar is a stolen Cliff Lett pic... I have no Moo painted vehicles.

LOL, no kiddin! Those tires held up good fo a long time, but I stopped using them as soon as I noticed a stud missing. I used a soda bottle cut into strips to re-enforce the studs, worked great and had zero ballooning of the tires. It would pull wheelies on shear ice if you hit just right, fun fun fun!

Anybody else have a GT???

Here's my very early 7060 GT patiently awaiting it's turn in the BIZ bucket.

7066 Team Truck, later version with black arms. It's also in line for a little attention to detail. I can't live with the purple hardware and rocket city ball ends. I have an OS CZ-Z waiting to go in this one.

Wow, you have the Paris pipe, that's very cool, and very rare. That pipe pre-dates the front shock tower. I believe the pipe was the very first thing to get changed. Very cool trucks, too bad they are so dirty....

Sorry, they'll get their chance to be cleansed soon... I don't think there is an earlier GT front tower, except maybe on the pre-production trucks which would have still had the 7001 truck tower... like used on the Dudgeon conversions. If I could only find a Yokomo RX12 motor...

bleh, too stock for my tastes.
