Rebuilding RC10T3 - Going Brushless

[mortal_wombat]

I recently decided to get back into the hobby. I am going to be ordering a new kit in the next few weeks. In the meantime I also found my old RC10T3. The car is in great shape and only needs a few things to get back on the road. I have been able to source a few parts but I need some help identifying parts and finding them or parts that will fit the same. Right now I have broken the chassis down for cleaning and to get a parts list together. So far I know I need shocks & springs, transmission rebuild kit, gear box cover and an entire screw & nut set. I would like to get some aluminum shocks but im not sure what till fit. Is there any other parts I should change while I am ordering parts? For motor and esc I am looking at the EZRUN Brushless System Combo B4 w/ 60A ESC and 5.5T@6000KV 3650- size. What size battery should I look at?

The original 27T motor and ESC is still in excellent shape but is not what I am looking to put back on the car.

Here are some pictures.

Skip the new kit and stick with your T3 !!!

60 A for 5.5T looks not enough. I would go with 120A. What LIPO is up to you... LIPO's fitt the T3 no problem. Everything in the 4000 to 6000 range is fine. Plenty of runtime!

I gotta shrink my pics they are too big to post. The reason I am ordering a new kit is I want a nitro buggy. I am ordering a Losi 8IGHT once I get my taxes in. In the mean time I was going to rebuild this trucks and get it back on the road. So a 60A isnt enough? Go with a 120A?

I agree 60A is little on the light side with it going in a truck and 5.5T. Hobbywing's website only list touring cars and buggies as applications for the 60A. I would go with no less than 120A. Have you checked out Castle Creations? I have a Sidewinder with 5700kv in my 10T and it flies.
