I picked up a T3 recently and it has a blue anodized motor plate, front plate and rear plate. Was this a FT version? Can’t remember. It also has blues turnbuckles, full bearings, graphite arms and CVDs.

Most likely, kit #7048 is the Factory Team and came standard with what you have. Here is the Associated link to the manual where you can compare the different kits.

Yup, that’s the one. Many thanks. I was lucky to get it with a Novak Tempest ESC. The battery leads are buggered up but nothing a good solder job can’t fix. I’ll post some pics soon.

biggest difference was that the FT version has graphite arms, chassis, rear tower, front bulkhead and front topplate. These are a bit hard to find nowadays..

Post your pictures!

Another question I have is weather the RPM gear cover for the T4 will fit the T3? I heard this was the case but want to confirm this before purchasing the cover.

Yes, that cover will fit, I have an Associated B4 gear cover on my B3. Side note though, the cover sticks out more where the slipper adjustment plug is.

Awesome, thanks. Shouldn’t be an issue with that portion sticking out further. Thanks again.
