Rc10t shelf queen to vintage racer info needed

Post by T4Tom »

Just got this bad boy from eBay it's super clean and has rpm parts. I need help identifying the bellcrank and the turnbuckles. Also is this a team truck? The manual says its from 91 and the truck was assembled with parts from the team buggy. Tell me what you think and will a tekin rs and a d3 17.5 be ok for the tranny

pretty sure that's the composite craft bellcrank. tecnacraft tie rods. it was probably a team kit going by the shocks and trans brace.

a 17.5 will be just fine.

Looks like a team truck as well, but then again the shock towers ( I think ) should be white, at least they are on mine. Nice clean truck you have there though!

Wow thanks for the fast replies this will be a work in progress should be done around may. Can I get servo mounts or am I just going to tape the servo? I would rather bolt it down than tape it.

It looks like it has dogbones in the rear. Team trucks came with universals. But thats not to say they were replaced somewhere down the line....

Ebay would probably be your best bet for servo mounts.

I am not sure, but I think you have Duratrax shock towers.

you'd have to change the axles to 3/16" to run your t4 wheels.

I would suggest T4 CVD's. You would get the benefits of CVD's, and you would be able to share wheels with your T4. You would also need the aluminum spacers from the T4, and 3/16 wheel bearings.

No mods except maybe moving some shims around. Don't forget the T4/B4 aluminum wheel spacers. They're the ones that go between the outer bearing and the axle pin.
