RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Here's a shot of my RC10T2.
This is the car that got me back into RC after a ten year hiatus.
Bought it from a local (New Zealand) online auction in pretty good shape.
I've since added a new body,RPM gear cover,rear arms,body mounts,ball cups,front bumper,shock spring cups,shock preload clamps...Just missing front RPM arms for the entire Rpm experience!
These trucks are atom bomb proof!
Is this the last vehicle that Associated made with an aluminium tub chassis?
I'm sure it is...Running a 'period' Novak Polaris am receiver,a Novak Rooster ESC and a 12x2 V2 style motor.
This truck has never let me down and will always be a runner!

Like your stuff, maybe some more pictures with the body off. Body paint job looks way cool.

My computer'sa not playing nice...Kicking me off when I try to upload more than one photo.
Thanks for the kind comment,I'm really happy with the way the paint turned out.

I'll try for a third,while my computer's actually behaving itself...

Oh,it has MIP CVD's,a woven carbon fibre front shock tower, and a sweet,1992 vintage A&L ball bearing steering kit that works very well indeed.
I also have an RPM rear hub carrier upgrade kit that accepts larger bearings,but I need to find the right size bearings for it...The store I bought it from sent me the wrong bearings.Twice.

I think you missed the turnbuckles(maybe Tecnacraft). Altogether makes for a really nice package.

I've always wondered what make those turnbuckles were-thanks for that!
It drives real nice.

Have a set nip just sitting in the box, never seen them on a T2 till now. Great looking ride.

Yes! The last alu tub chassis and a great one too. The angled sides actually further stiffen the tub. Bomb proof u say......... Rock on

looks very nice, great paint job

Thanks for the compliments on the paint job.
I got sick of seeing truck bodies with the roll bar and bed painted body color.
Masking and painting the rollbar wasn't fun,but worth it.

Very nice paint job!!! Gives me some Ideas for my T2 bodies I need to paint.

I got frustrated with the clutch in my XX-4 loosening up on me,so I swapped the Mamba Max 5700kv brushless system into the T2 today.
I have never seen a stadium truck lift it's front wheels up at 60kmp/h,when I fed in the last bit of throttle!
Scary fast,but it handled the power like the atom bomb proof marvel it is.
A wheel lifted on a corner,balloned the tire like crazy and blew it off the rim.
Great fun!

Put a brushless in your T2,today!
