Never said I didn't like it... and its a great runner!
Just needs the occasional maintenance.
Was just looking to see what others had done to make the front wheel wells look a little more "correct".
I don't understand...
Re: I don't understand...
JRX2 in the late 80s... have since come to my senses with the RC10T, yes of course it's vintage! Wife is always destroying her Tamiaya LunchBox to call me her personal mechanic a few more times. Enjoying the fresh build of an RJ Speed Digger.

Slash trucks are also generally not the type of truck that I like.
For one, they're new. I like wrenching and driving old stuff.
Plus, I like the 10T style where the wheels sit well outside of the body and don't particularly look like an actual truck.
My opinion... the RC10T was a perfect build aside from the way the wheel wells on the body look off center, but that can be fixed.
Shoulda seen the pimply faced kid at the hobby shop when I told him I had the old MSC in it.
Some people will just never understand that vintage can be just as much fun!

Re: I don't understand...
It's because of the 30 degree kick-up on the front suspension; the wheels move back as well as up. The Slash and SC10 have the same thing; look at them from the side when the suspension is extended and then compressed. Nothing to fix it unless you either want huge front wheel wells, or to flatten the front kick-up.
The size/proportions of racing truck bodies are actually to-scale, 1/10 the dimensions of a real truck, which would be about the size of a touring car. Racing trucks are about twice as wide as they should be, and even buggies are about 3" too wide.
