With my set, I also threw in sets of diff balls and tie bolt thrust balls from McMaster Carr along with the rings. I was struggling with getting the diff smooth and flipped over the McM rings once.

That's very cool. It makes me wish I could read Japanese.

Very nice! Have you considered doing the 6 gear mod to add outdrive bearings? Just asking since this looks old like it's going to be a racer. Thx! I've raced it. Also in the Gold pan. Never had any issues. Never heard about that mod... Outdrive bearing mod info is here: https://www.rc10talk.com/vie...

It looks killer! Glad it's a runner.

The straight line painters were struggling here too

It's now an RC10T Graphite. Gearbox is mounted and steering is sorted out. All that's left is pick the receiver, ESC, motor, make a front bumper, and add an undertray. I did some wet sanding work to mostly clean up the underside and don't really want to add new scratches. An undertray sized for the ...
