My RC10T revival
Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2015 10:02 am
Hello all!
So, as it seems to be a trend around here, I am rebuilding my RC10t that I built when I was like 12. I really enjoyed building it back then and about 10-12 years ago my brother got a couple new batteries and electronics and ran it a bit. Then it went in a box in the attic and has sat until my son turned 4 a few days ago and he received a bunch of the cheapo walmart rc cars. I decided to pull it out and see if it ran. Batts were dead and it would only run for like 3-5 minutes, but everything else seemed to work. The plan was to get a couple new batteries and a charger that I dont have to turn the dial every 15 minutes....~$350 later I am building a 9.5t brushless with 3s lipos.. I got it all cleaned up and shocks rebuilt so far. Waiting on bearings for the wheels and stealth and the cva conversion and a few misc parts. One question, will these axles work with the cva conversion kit if I want to run different newer style wheels? http://www.amazon.com/Associated-Electronics-9755-Rear-Axle/dp/B000VJ0YNS
Will any 48P pinion gears work with the stock spur?
Am I doing to demolish the stock diff and/or trans with this setup?
Now some pics from before the teardown:
