************************************************************************

Gonna try the "place holder" deal again:

If you would like to enter the contest, create a post as a "place holder". DO NOT POST ANY PICS. You have until the 7th of the month to lock in a spot (10 entries max). You will then have 2 days to edit your post and attach the pics of your entry. The poll will be started on the night of the 9th. If you have not submitted your pics by then you will be removed from the contest.

Please remember this month is for TRUCKS ONLY! 10t, t2, gt, and also RC10 Monster Truck Conversions

moody rc10t gas conversion with a andys painted body.

The Shell RC10T: build thread, My first RC10T

This is my new built Dudgeon RC10t nitro conversion with Andy's body, Lots of RPM goodies, Tecnacraft turnbuckles, OS motor with Ron Paris pipe.

Right, here we go. This was a fleabay find a few years ago and was only ever bought to bash around the garden. It was clearly well spec'd by it's previous owner with RPM arms and bulk head. I've just stripped and rebuilt it, ready for another few years of bashing.

I guess this is the time and place to post my pics. Truck is mostly original as I got it, had the original narrow 10T body painted by SquareHead (where did he go..?). Wasn't aiming for anything particular on the truck, just something to look at on the shelf.

Hope you enjoy.

Here's my Restored Team Truck (once again)

It started as a "normal" project, but as I was working on it I fell in love with the long, white wishbones... So it ended up being a bit of an obsession to do the perfect black/white car with a few chrome accents and either new or new-looking parts! There's been many hours or rubbing, scrubbing and polishing, but the result looks like I wanted, with only a minority of new parts that went into that build.



The Team 10T sports a few interesting bits too :
- Old-school Lunsford 'buckles
- Toyranausaur transmission spacers (a la A&L)
- Yokomo stocker
- and some more I can't remember by now...

And to top it off, a body by The Master, PRP - this replicates a body done for a Super Athlete in a French mag a few years ago. Best body I have EVER seen... looks amazing in the flesh!



Hope you like it

Place holder for Me, Just finished my 10t build and would like to know what you guys think. OK I know It's a 10T with T2 body and 10T reproduction decals, a few vintage decals, and a few other oddball parts thrown in but it was fun to put together. Hope you like, feel free to let me know what you think, I'm always open to constructive criticism.

Had to dig deep for this one (in the cupboards!). My first Team Associated RC.

I'll post my RC10GT, one of my few trucks that are painted:)

Instead of submitting pics of a beautiful all original truck ( I don't have a painted body for it... yet ) I'm putting this one in its place till next month. This maybe the rarest thing I own, a 10T runner . It's not the prettiest thing, or even a serious track racer, but it is fun. Well optioned with RPM parts, 5700 Castle motor, its main purpose is to bash, and that she does!..... very well.
Body is a Parma 1977 C-10 Chevy stepside shell.
NO sympathy votes here guys ( hell, I'm not even voting for myself)! Some fantastic trucks up against me!!!

Poll is up.

Good Luck!

I like Marlon's "usable" stuff - it always has that tough get it done look to it.

I love a nice consistency in color scheme, inside & out. Anthony's "Shell"-themed truck was nice, but edged out by skunk.werkz's bovine-themed build. I'm not a fan of "moo" paint jobs but the color scheme was excellent and consistent. Good job everyone!

Great collection of bodies, Lonestar is killing it with his 90's acid splash paint...he got my vote!
