Ok, well my father's favorite color was purple and when I got a hold of these chassis I really thought it was a rare find and wanted to build something special to honor him. The body is from a new Traxxas Bandit, and the car is basically all done now minus the wing... I should have keep the Technacraft! JUST KIDDING, I have a regular wing for it and am just looking for my purple aluminum Trinity Wing mounts... which were here when I started
The only other part I would like to eventually find is the left side RPM bellcrank. I had 2 NIP sealed bags from RPM (one of which Kenooze has now) and the other I kept for this. Well wouldn't you know the bag I kept came with two right side bellcranks. So... I am looing for a new or mint left side to trade or purchase. If you need a brand new right side, I have one of those

I have nice set of purple shock caps and couldn't decide which to use. I had a hard time deciding which way the piggy back shocks should face also. I have so many projects, sometimes you just have to say, "its good enough."
If you don't, you may never get to the next project.
The car looks great. Have you painted the body yet? Wondering how it will look- very cool. I was also wondering what you are running for the tranny, spur gear, and gear cover?? Is that coming off a standard stealth tranny? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

it is the losi hydra drive. Losi made it to fit the rc10 stealth as an option. the gear cover is made by losi also to fit the stealth.
thanks for looking
I purchased some Novus plastic polish based on some posts here.

I kept this old shell to practice on. I stripped the paint on the roof with some dot3 and it left pretty strong haze.

Funny that this should be brought back up as I'm currently in the midst of organizing the basement, and I found the bottle and cloths I bought of this. I still have yet to gave it a try. :lol:

It's like jewelry. Better than diamonds if you ask me.
Yes sir, mighty fine stuff! There's quite a few 4-40 x 1/2 flat heads and 8-32 x 1/2 flat heads. I must have used up the socket head ones.
Maybe I could talk myself into trading them for...

U-Haul better start throwing out some color choices to me! I have no idea what would compliment that color of purple
I just got this beauty from jdensison75 in a trade, thanks Joel! This truck was obviously someone's baby and if I had to guess I'd say it's been run very little if at all. I assume that the anodizing was also done by the previous owner. The truck is...

Oh, dum dums, yeah, he always sends those. I'm not much on hard candy though so they just lay around until I thow them out. :lol:
As to the body mounting - I'm not quite sure how it will end up. This truck had some custom mounts made for it and I...
This is my second purple RC10T build. However I bought this truck instead of building it from parts. It was a very nice build, but I still gave it a full rebuild to bring it up to my standards.
I changed out much of the hardware, ballstuds, arms,...

Awesome looking truck. I think those Pro 45 front tires are the best looking tires in the history of ever.
