Tecnica’s RC10B2/B3 “Old is Old” but cleaner

Post by **tecnica2001** » Tue May 05, 2020 11:07 pm

So my latest deal lead me to two RC10T3 trucks, the better of the two I kept as a T3, the second one I took it apart to clean, rebuild, and sell, but since this website still exists, I decided to convert it into a buggy....

Here’s how far I’ve gotten, I need to order a bunch of stuff....

A bit of progress I guess, applied some vinyl to the chassis, cause I hate scrapping off double side tape from the chassis, and it looks nice

Cleaned and installed the gear cover.

Ordered some carbon fiber shock towers, and the arms are on their way....

Progress,

Rear arms, cvds, and shocks mounted

nice.

so you're going for the big bore shocks I see!

Post by **tecnica2001** » Thu May 14, 2020 7:34 am

I got em for a screaming deal

, might as well

The original shocks and rebuild kits are getting harder and more expensive to find, and I plan on running, maybe racing at some point....

great idea on the vinyl...................

Moving along....

Got my carbon B2 shock towers, these things are pretty sweet looking, can’t wait for the arms to come in.

Need to get some shock bushings for the big bores, amongst millions upon millions of other parts

....well, that’s how it seems like

Buggy Update:

Finally got some arms, Precision RC molded arms.

And B6 wing mount for the carbon shock tower

I see you have mounted the shocks on the other side (front instead of rear) of the shocktower. Is that because of the big bores?

How will that affect handling?

oops, that’s why the angle of the rear shocks looked weird to me

....thanks for the heads up...

FT Blue turnbuckles and RPM Rod Ends, also got the proper shock bushings for the Big Bores, now awaiting some pint (paint) and electronics

Pints and electronics can be a bad mix

Looking good. I'm excited to see the finished product.

I don’t even remember what I was trying to say, and I don’t even drink

PAINT

Pinted (painted) it

Had to massacre the body to fit and Velcro to hold it, the body was short for the chassis (T3), so I did the best I could, I’m tempted to buy the short chassis and a new body, but just tempted
