Very racey RC10T

Post by MarkyDents »

Alright so a couple months ago my friend contacts me stating he just clicked buy it now on a sweet two vehicle package.
Cool what’d ya get now ?? Turns out he went for it because one was an all black parts Worlds car, both of them were clearly used but in very nice well taking care of condition and were definitely built to go racing. He tells me I’ll love the T and I’m buying from him sight unseen.
Naturally this was someone else’s build, but it turns out I absolutely love it exactly the way it is.

Only thing I’m looking to change on it are the tires.

As for the body I’m thinking I know what I want.

That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.

If you mess with the electronics, remember to pay attention to the pinouts. That looks like an early Airtronics receiver and servo pigtail.

I hate dealing with early Airtronics stuff. I've screwed up some perfectly good stuff because of it.

This was a plug tag from an Airtronics set up I just recently worked with. Airtronics stuff wasn't compatible with Airtronics stuff. :D

I just noticed that the servo is a Futaba S9304.

My Team Truck came with that same servo when I bought it. Just thought it was a weird coincidence, as I've never seen many of them.

Also, those bellcranks are thick. I don't recognize them but they are definitely aftermarket.

I did receive a nice transmitter with it as well, I’ll dig it up and take some pics.

Thank you for the heads up though. Much appreciated.

The one in my truck is so smooth that I often find the wheels turned, just from the weight of the truck.

Man this thing has aluminum hardware everywhere.
What do you think, Slot Machine ? No decal on the can.
The foam trans gasket is still good.
What would you call the rear chassis mod, the endbell remover :lol:

Slot Machine 2. The original had a black end bell.

And someone cut one of my chassis like that as well. Who knows what for.
