what version of the 10t had these?

Post by rc-stu »

never had a 10t (always been a buggy only guy as far as vintage goes) until i got this one in a huge lot. what version came with these arms and shock towers? i'm pretty sure that sweet bent camber link is full custom.

That looks like a T2. I've always like the t2s low profile, it looks mean. 8)

Last of the 10T's used the same tower and arms as a T2 maybe?

I acquired a 10T with that 'modern' front end a while back. I have an all white 10T I bought in the mid 90's. Shortly thereafter, my buddy saw the AE light when I started dominating the track with it and bought one the next season. His had black parts, but I'm pretty sure the arms, towers and such looked just like mine, just black nylon. So, I would assume this 'lightened' tower and 'modern' A-arm design is one of the last 10T production runs as the T2 came out soon after my buddy bought his 10T.

I'm sure temple knows the whole/real story.

a very poorely educated guess: doesn't the T2 have a longer tub, more diamond shaped compared to the rather squared T which basically just use a longer nose plate but is further the same as the buggy chassis??

This seems to make sense since the chassis is the old school tub. As Mr. ED said,

I'm pretty sure the T2 did have a different tub. Like this one someone currently has on the bay:

Anyway, I think the 10T was released with these arms... here's another one on the bay:

The 10T's (and GT's) that were being sold alongside the T2 in '95/'96 had the T2 arms and front shock tower.
