Holy grail of rpm parts for the rc10t?

[AndrewSi]

Just got this for $20. Did not think I would have ever find it, let alone new.

I haven't been in this for a long time so I don't know a lot of this simple stuff but what makes these RPM parts so desirable and expensive. I've seen those gear covers go for crazy.

[AndrewSi]

I haven't been into vintage rc very long either. But I have never seen this up for sale since I've have been looking and only heard about it. I don't know the benefits other than not breaking. I'm trying to build my 10T with all new white RPM parts so I had to have it.

It's basically a Losi spindle and carrier (functionality wise) but made of Rpm's indestructible material. Sold a ton of them back in the day just for durability not sure if they handled better or not

nice grab. it would've been $75+ if it was the buggy kit.

[AndrewSi]

Thats why I love the 10T, less expensive!

Looks killer Andrew. Love the turnbuckles!

Here two pics of the whole truck...started life as a 7035 Team truck. I kept the team truck universals, graphite trans brace, one piece wheels w/ proline pro-90's in the back and AE's in the front so it can keep some off its originality lol.

RPM Tranny, 3 deg. rear arms mounts, rear arms, rear hubs, rear bulkhead, front arms, ball cups with tecnacraft turnbuckles, and steering enhancement kit.

ohh and MIP ball bearing steering

Rare parts indeed Though IMHO these simple little RPM parts are truly the "Holy Grail" of RPM parts in there vintage white nylon.

Please find many of us a pack of these while your on an RPM hot streak

yea, forgot about those ball cups........I'll keep my eyes peeled.

What is the difference between the old rpm ball cups and the one currently available?

[scr8p]

old ones are translucent and the new stuff is white as pvc.

In 5 years I've obtained (1) new set and pieced together a second set one at a time from junk cars, bottom of boxes etc.

Is it sad that the first things I look at on ebay auction cars are the ball cups?

I have one good translucent white one that I found in my parts box that must have been from my brother's car, but that's it.
