Romulus22's box art RC10GT (complete 12/2/14)

[justinspeed79]

I never noticed the mounts were natural finish in the book. That works out nice for me, because I have the right mounts, but the anodizing on them Its very faded.

I've always wondered if the original truck still exists or who owns it.

[romulus22]

I've contemplated for a while on sanding the fins to match the box. Just having a hard time convincing myself to do it. And I've never noticed the flywheel. Mine is only ribbed not knurled. Looks like I've got a couple more things to keep my eye out for. Saving the radio gear for last, never cared for having electronics in a shelf car.

[justinspeed79]

I never noticed the flywheel either. Did you make one of those, Dhood?

[DHood]

Yes, I just chucked it up in a lathe using an old cut down crankshaft. Skimmed of the factory grooves and then knurled it with a knurling tool

[romulus22]

Baby steps..... Finally polished the fins on the Yok head

Good eye on that header! I would have missed that. GT's are a pond I've never dipped into, will be interesting to have a complete history on the truck, with all the little changes, variations...etc.

[justinspeed79]

Looks great. Did you sand the edges, or just polish?

[romulus22]

Technically just sanded with 2000 grit sandpaper but it came out very smooth and shiny.

You cant just dip into a GT pond...you need to dunk yourself into it....head first....go deep...do forget to breath in the nitro fumes!

all brings back memories!!!

Todd...nice polish on the fin edges. i overlooked that detail from the box art.

so your fleet of GT's are increasing...sweet....now you need a nitro DS

Does anyone know a source for the nipple that attaches to the tuned pipe?

Thanks Limestang

I'm not sure of a source. But I have a few Paris ones like you see on that pipe I've been saving. I might spare one

nipples = pressure fittings http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD623&P=ML

crooked nipples = 90 Degree pressure fittings http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTT83&P=7

they can be had at tower hobbies or your local hobby shop.

hope that helps

[romulus22]

Those are much cheaper than I paid for the Paris ones I have
