I personally think, as much as the Losi, Traxxas etc are talked about about being undervalued for collections--I think the most ignored vehicle is the RC10T! So I want to see your best, or favorite RC10T--(Don't have one? that's easy! They are everywhere and cheap as dirt.) So post you best here and after a bit we will get a vote together!

My entry in the Runner / Old Racer category:

It’s not the best one I'm sure, but my favorite - especially since this is the one that started it all. I purchased this 7001 kit new at a hobby shop in El Cajon, CA and raced it for several seasons. I recently restored it back to race trim. I still need to clean up the original electrics and put them back in.

Very Cool Reggie, x2 on your comments.

This is my 10T, now highly modified but basically the same truck.
This truck started as the original 10T and evolved.

1991 When it was original, I just finish painting the shell.

1992 This is the second shell I got for her with Losi wheels in the back and mini Dean’s antenna .

2001 This was 9 years ago with a freshly painted T3 body after resting in storage for 7 years it went back to the track.

2006-now This is how it stands today, custom G-10 towers and chassis.

The deadline is 1 week after Mr Lexan sends me an S&K body so I can enter my truck :lol: , Let's say 2 weeks? or do you guys think longer? I have an idea for a trophy to the winner as well :mrgreen:

Aw hell, this competition is over! I declare Scr8p the winner. That truck is sick!, I've been fortunate enough to get some tires that have the mold release agent on them but I have never seen rear tires so fresh that they didn't even have the spikes glued on yet :shock: And the gold shocks :o That must be before they Hard annodized them grey! All I can say is WOW!



Sorry, somebody had to defend Jay when he wasn't present.
