My "MIP" RC10 truck gang

My gang of "MIP" themed rc10 trucks. The group consists of a swiss cheese b stamp 10t, later c chassis 10t, cut down chassis t2, and a stock team version t3 built from new parts. This latchkey group of runners started from ebay beaters and new and used parts and are powered by combinations of new and old brushless motors and speed controllers. I've had all the chassis's completed for awhile now and just recently finished the bodies up with the idea of making them all "MIP" themed.

That's an excellent group of trucks! The Swiss cheese chassis is awesome! A person could mess up several nice chassis trying to make one turn out that nice.

I received an inquire about info on the front and rear hubs used on my T3 so I'll post that here. Just another option over the stock parts that also slightly widen overall front and rear width to that of a T4.

Front:
It looks like they increased the legal width for stadium trucks when the T4 came out so when I was building the T3, I found that using the wide front axles were just about dead on identical with the width of a T4. I also used original rc10 front hubs and steering blocks because I simply didn't have the B3/T3 parts and since they were used on the B2, I figured it shouldn't be too different fitting them on a T3. Only modification was to drill a slightly lower inner ballstud position on the shock tower to get proper camber gain.

Rear:
I was able to widen the rear with standard rc10t rear hubs and a T4/SC10 length cvd or cva bone. The rc10t hubs already give more offset over the stock T3 hubs and the longer bones perfectly work with the hubs. Only modification is to slightly relieve the outer arm support so the cvd/cva union doesn't rub, since it now sits directly over it.
