TQ10 - Period Racer Build
Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2012 11:09 pm
so i got this tq10 from aaron sometime last year, might even be longer than that. but anyway, it's an early car, in pretty decent shape. compared to the last 3 tq10's i've had, this chassis is by far the nicest. last summer, i got all of my used white parts together for a massive peroxide bath. the nicest stuff was set aside for restos and replicas, this is getting the best of what's left. i had thoughts of running this in the classics class at the vnats if i get there this year. being as though it might be raced, i didn't want to use really nice stuff on it. but, i don't think it'll be "stock" enough by the time i'm done anyway.
so here is where it's at right now.
i originally had a set of factory towers on it that i had dyed black. they looked good on there, but a couple weeks ago, slapshot hooked me up with the matching front cf parma tower to go with the rear i've had for many years. so i had to put them on it instead. 
last year, i got a whole bunch of old style shocks re-ano'd. so, since i have no gold sets left 
, these will be going on it.
now for tires and wheels. aaron hooked me up with a new set of hot pink imex 2.1 front/2.0 rear rims, and a new pair of imex (schumacher) 2.0 spiked rear tires. the 2.1 proline dirt flirts came from shane... quite some time ago.
electronics are a little up in the air. but after i rewire it, this pink tekin esc is going in it.
that's it for now.

You're really building the stable back up! Are those chassis rigid or what!? 
Hong Kong Phooey himself couldn't break one of those things. That one looks great.
