NIB #7001 opened

[marlo]

Its a late.... What we have going on in this kit is a very late #7001, almost to the point that you could call it a very early Team truck, (with exceptions).... I will need to up-date our RC10T history thread!..... I wish the "hammer" were here to chime in.
Chassis
"early" In line B, with counter sunk 6 gear tranny holes. This chassis most likely crossed over to early Teams.

Un-opened kit bag
Thin webbed arms, thin 2-hole towers, standard stealth brace, "mid" shock bushings, "early" spur gear, and FULL hex ball cups ( something I was not expecting !)

Love it! I know you were hoping early but that's still a great find!

For sure Jeff, it was a win/win, I got an un-built example of a #7001, plus some needed info for our History thread I was very surprised with some of the parts. To find a sealed #7001 is one thing, to get one of the first production runs is another..... very difficult!

Very cool!!

You should scan that decal sheet at the highest DPI you can and post it for us.

Please...

I'm surprised!, seems to be very little interest in this thread,........ must not be that many 10T lovers out there.....or maybe its just me Just a bag of parts, I know but maybe the re-re will be better

Looks great sir, there's nothing wrong with a sealed kit being cracked open for the first time and seeing a big bag full of minty parts

I don't think the T's get much love and I sure as hell hope they don't rere it!

[mikea96]

Ive been waiting for the build to start! I hope there is a re-re 10t

[marlo]

Cheers guys. This will not be built, I just opened it to see what type it was.... and your right, feels like the 10T is a little neglected.

Ship it to me, I'll hit it with some purple that always makes it interesting

Perhaps everyone has been drooling on their keyboards and shorted them out?

Nice find! I wish I had your restraint and not build that kit, but I can't I have built all but one of the unopened kits I have found!

I've been following Marlon, just not posting I forget which era 7001 my kit is but I remember late. I forget which ball cups and etc that mine has but I can post up some of mine to compare if you like.

Stadium trucks are my thing and I can't get enough of them.

Does the "T" stand for toy or training wheels
Just like Trix, trucks are for kids

[slotcarrod]

Dems fightin words Brian!

[RC104ever]

Dude how can you not build that gem? You've got a great collection - now add to it!

Yours was a late RJ, but now it has become a "Mid". Since I had no idea a #7001 came with these late parts in my kit, mine will now be the late standard. I think you should show your kit in detail.
