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

Hello all. I found this truck on ebay about a month ago and after looking at it in detain for a few days, I decided I wanted it for a shelf truck and that I could take it apart, clean it, and then put it back together with better hardware and make it much better. So, I've done mose of that other than the few parts I'm still waiting for (blue aluminum body posts and antenna mount) and once I have them on it will be done other than a new body that I may do at a later time. Now after studying it for a while and looking in as many places as I know of (granted, that's not too many and I'm still pretty new at some of this) and I can't say with any certainty what it is really. So, I thought I'd post a couple pics and see what the members had to say. Yes, criticism jokes and whatever else are always more than welcome as well. Thanks for looking.

Rc10gt with electric conversion?

Well, that's what I obviously thought at first before I searched for others to compare and found that none I found had a two tier chassis...there were a few other differences so I thought that couldn't be it, but it may be, I'm just confused because I couldn't find another one like it. So, I thought maybe the guy I got it from had made some of it custom.

Going by the beveled edges on everything I'd say possibly GPM aluminum parts? The top plate and aluminum chassis combo could be how the chassis manufacturer decided too do it. You wouldn't need a lot of the stock plastic center pieces with that aluminum chassis.

I believe the chassis and roll bar are new era pieces, the rest looks like mostly gpm.

Is there actually any stock parts on that? Lol.

I would say it's a 10gt based aftermarket build car

There are no stock parts on it other than the stock T2 antenna mount that will be replaced this evening. Is new era a manufacturer of rc parts? I'm not familiar with them if that's the case, I'll look them up and see if that sheds some light on it. Yes, GPM for many of the parts, I found that. But if new era made the two tier chassis, what is it supposed to be a chassis for...T4, GT, GT2? I just dont know...

it's all RC10GT based.

Yep, that's it, and the roll bar is on their site as well. See, I knew the board would be able to point me in the right direction. that takes care of the chassis and then all the other blue parts, what about the conversion/motor mount part that the motor is attached to? I've found a couple but none that look the same as this one. Thanks again guys.

One last thing, this body is the first of it's kind that I've ever messed with. The windows and other openings were a completely different piece that you attach from the inside with servo tape, glue, or whatever will hold it. They were pretty yellowed and cut up so I trashed it. Anyone know what type body it is and if I can still get them or a replacement window insert? I'll buy all of it if I need to.

The motor mount looks ofna/hobao to me, but hard to say for sure. It actually looks a lot like the one on my hyper 10sc, I'll take a closer look when I get home.

The body is atomik, no longer available.
