Hi Guys,
I got excited when looking at the RC10T's in the Truck Build of the month, they are all very good!
One particular build got me really excited and I decided I needed one just like it.
Thank you to the owner for being so understanding and allowing me to build a copy, thank you
mate!
I have placed an order to Tower Hobbies for the body shell, will take 7 - 14 days to arrive.
The new parts are RPM front and rear arms, black plastic shock caps, nose tubes, Worlds re-re
steering and the Pro-Line tires.
Thank you to RC10th for the missing shock cap, much appreciated mate!
Here are some pics,
Cheers, Dave.

Super clean truck Dave, looks great! Is the chassis stripped, or is that a paint?

Hi Marlon,
The chassis, nose plate and motor mount I sand blasted then lightly polished with a pot scourer.
I was trying to use all the parts that I had left over for a true runner.
Cheers, Dave.

I'll throw one more at you... the mix of white and black parts look great! Every time I de-ano a chassis I build it up with black parts. I may have to mix it up next time

Hi Guys,
I got my new body shell a couple of days ago. WooHoo!
I cut it out Thursday and mounted it yesterday, Friday and painted it today.
Boy am I glad it's finished! I hate painting shells!
O.k here's a couple of pics,
Cheers, Dave.
