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

Well I've been a member here since 12/08, and until now I haven't yet posted pics of my main project, which I call the "Ballertruck" - my runner that should be a shelfer!

Some parts used for the build:

Worlds Chassis - found it at a garage sale
RPM 2.65 Trans for Stealth
Robinson Racing lightweight & keyed T3 slipper hub/disc assy.
RPM 10T rear bulkhead
Billet 10T front bulkhead
RPM 10T front steering enhancement kit
RPM 10T front and rear arms
Lunsford Super Duty Ti turnbuckles/ball cups
Lunsford Ti screw kit for RC10GT
Lunsford Ti ballstuds
Lunsford Ti front wide axles for RC10GT
Lunsford Ti hinge pins
Lunsford Ti shock mounts for RC10GT
MIP RC10GT BB steering linkage
RPM servo mounts
Trinity Front Aluminum shock tower
Trinity/Team Kinwald hinge pin shim kits
Generic 4-40 stainless mini-locknuts
Blue shock tops/old-school grey teflon bodies/MIP gold shafts/MIP blue seals
RPM shock preload clips
Bad Horsie black spandex shock socks
Andy's 10T front bumper
Purple aluminum rear arm mounts (GPM?)
MIP cvds (3/16" & 1/4" depending on what wheels I'm running)
RPM big-bearing rear axle carriers

Electronics:
Futaba 3PM Fast/DSS Radio system w/603FF Receiver
Castle Mamba Max ESC
Reedy Firechicken Super Rad stock brushed motor (for now)
Hi-Tec 5625MG BB Digital Coreless servo
Tenergy 5200mah 30c Hard Case LiPos (these are totally rad btw)

Here are some pictures I took today, after I disassembled it, changed-out a couple things, and put it back together:










Oh and no, I don't dig chrome/bling...a buddy of mine gave me the wheel/tire combo I used in the above pics. These are one of my two sets of on-road bashing tires, and eventually I'll get around to spraying the wheels black with a clear coat. I also have a set of rad truck foams that are mounted on 1 pc. 10T wheels. I also intend on running narrow front off-road tires at least some of the time at the track.

Future mods include an upgrade to a 17.5t BL motor in a bit, and then at some point climb back up to a mod BL motor. The rear shock tower will be replaced with a carbon fiber piece at some point, and I will also be upgrading to the T4 slipper assembly, once its time to move up to a modified BL motor.

I can't wait to get used to running it at the local track, and then hopefully bring it out to run at the VNats!

Thanks to all who helped me out by selling me parts and/or answering my many questions!

Very nice modernised 10T mate, nice attention to detail! It looks totally bulletproof

I like that tire wheel combo, adds flash to it. I think you should leave it. Never seen the front bumper mounts on the rear like that before, interesting. Great build you did. How bout a body?

Thats a good lookin t...and to top it off with it being a worlds tub it makes it that much more unique....someone couple weeks back was askin if the use of the worlds tub would be fit for a t...hope they see this.

Just found this thread searching for 10t info. This is a cool build. Wonder what happened with it?
