Some more than others but nothing particularly bad.

Prices? Now thats a different story.

I'm piecing a conversion truck together, with mostly Andy's and JG parts.

This is the body I intend on using.

JConcepts makes for both. Just google the manuals for each and you will be able to tell pretty fast with one you have. I answered in his other post. One is a early 10T and the other is a mid-motor 10T that is based on an aftermarket chassis. If he decides to keep the mid-motor truck in that arrange...

i ordered a stealth transmission that I will open up and inspect and re lube it..just need to find a how to and what to use. do I just mount that on there and add the motor? Original manuals are still available that show how to assemble the transmission and what lubricants to use. A few parts are s...

Maybe some of the others can answer about Facebook groups. A few forums are as close as I get to social media, as I have no tolerance for the bs associated with Facebook and other formats.

Don't boil them but warmer water is better. And they need time to rehydrate. They have been drying out for 30 years, its going to take more than 5 minutes to undo it.

Did a little work on this one. New steering blocks, axles, and springs from RJ Speed. Swapped the servo to the Tower System 2000 that I intend to use, along with the correct Kimbrough servo saver and some Yeah Racing servo washers. The ball studs are Tamiya 5mm balls with 2mm shanks with low frictio...

P.S - How do you order photos on here like to get more up in the order i'd like :mrgreen: Type whatever you want to say, then hit enter to go to the next line. Upload the photo that you want (3mb limit). Once the photo has uploaded, hit "place inline". Then hit enter (I do it twice) to go...

Yeah, I picked up several sets a while back. Well above list price but what I still thought was reasonable.

But even though I have several spares, I still try to save any that I can. I have nine Stealth transmissions, I can't just go throwing parts away.

I don't generally sell my junk, any of it.

I figure that I bought it for a reason. Even though I may lose interest from time to time, I figure that it will return.

Your spring assembly is wrong. This is one of mine.

I don't generally sell my junk, any of it. I figure that I bought it for a reason. Even though I may lose interest from time to time, I figure that it will return. That would be the opposite of how to reduce the size of a collection. :D I guess it's good that I have a big house and decent sized pro...

This guy has them in multiple colors, as well as other cool stuff.

Now I just need to come up with an antenna mount. I have a fiberglass anti-tip antenna mast that I think I may use. What kind are you looking for? I regularly use these: https://www.amainhobbies.com/schumacher-universal-antenna-mount-schu1042/p-qqqzqatqgb2xactz Or 3D printed versions of the RC10 mo...

The newer (T2 style) arms have the raised shock mounts.

You can still adjust the ride height with limiters and spring adjustments.
