Yet ANOTHER RC10T brought back to life!

This seems to be a trend around here! Resurrection threads!
Here's mine - just found it in the basement recently and decided to make it run again - I bought it new in about 1995/1996 timeframe. Went out and bought a few 5000mah NiMh's and a new charger and apart from shredding a rear wheel bearing, it has been running pretty good. The slipper is slipping a bit too much, even when torqued down, so I may need to deal with that Took it to the local outdoor track today, it ran well against a new Slash 4x4.
1995/1996 RC10T Sport - MIP CVDs, Lunsford titanium turnbuckles, 17T single Trinity Sapphire motor, Novak 610HRV ESC, 87/18 gearing, RPM gear cover, Proline rears/Losi fronts, bearings all around. My plans? Go through and clean/replace some of the worn parts, the suspension arms aren't long for this world, so in go some RPMs. Go through the tranny and diff, add a B4 top gear and slipper setup. The plan is to have something to run and bash with - I am thinking about adding a Castle Sidewinder brushless setup (or something like it...Velineon maybe?) with some lipos. Plus, going 2.4ghz with the Futaba 3PL. Local hobby shop has this stuff for very competitive prices. Have learned a lot thanks to this forum!
Here are a couple of pics:
Still have the original box!
