There was a guy I was buying parts from that was trying to convince me that bronze bushings were better because he had experience with bearings seizing and transmissions getting destroyed under load. I've never had that experience but I've had worn bushings allow parts to get sloppy and wear funny. ...

AE would do a little better. They would include wheels ...oh, and the fancy replica box too. But otherwise no, the AE kit probably couldn't be any nicer. Now if AE did the coffin chassis....

I've been looking for a Parma modified with their weird can and endbell. Valkyrie RC had one and accepted a reasonable price. Now I can quit looking for Parma motors. 😁 . 1000011256.jpg 24 quad damn that’s a hot wind right there😂😂😂 Compared to my red label Reedy 29 turn it is 😂 I think sometimes 12...

A little more progress. I got a pair of excellent Factory Works shock front shock tower options. The single mount position tower would work, but I decided to use the 2 hole tower.

Personally, I'm glad that I have the opportunity to purchase a new 10T at a reasonable, non-scalper price. In my hording pile, I have a restoration candidate 10T that's been waiting it's turn. The box looks like it was used for BB gun practice. Having a new truck that doesn't need special attention ...
