Doing a complete refresh of my 10t runner/racer. New bearings, new turnbuckles and ballcups, new jconcepts shocks towers, new wheels and tires, rebuild of transmission and shocks plus fresh electronics on the way.

I have some new 10t t2 front and rear arms but I really like the look of the OG arms.

I just painted the tub chassis today for the RC10T. Sadly it was too cold out to it spider webbed the paint to tomorrow I get to re-prime and then repaint. In the background rebuilding everything else. It's going to be a nice car when completed.

Yeah I have had the same thing happen to me when painting. I have a powder coating business down the street from me so I just do that now.

Ok so I assembled some of the truck. Rear end is a little wide so I will swap out the t4.2 hubs for some regular 10t t2 hubs and I won't be running the white arms they will be switched to the later t2 style arms. Just waiting on my new shock bodies and rebuild kit to arrive so I can build the big bore shocks.
