Building original RC10T for the 1st time after 15 years...

Post by Build15YearsLater »

I purchased an RC10T about 15 years ago and I have finally started putting it together. I know, it's a little ridiculous! I have most of the car together but realized that I am missing some parts, I lost the wheels and tires (purchased replacements) I basically found everything I need but I am looking for suggestions on finding parts for the future. There are some things that have a little rust on them, and I want to get another body for it as my paint job wasn't too good. Please advise on good places to find parts for such an old truck... And most importantly a high quality body for it.
Does the RC10t2/3/4 bodies fit for this truck or are there fitment issues?

Thanks for all your help

Mr. Lexan has some quality repros, A moderator on this forum. I have one as do several other members and they are of a very high standard:

As for spares I think its better to buy another car as it can be cheaper in the long run. Now lets see some pics of this 10T :D

If you want to go more modern look t4 bodies will fit with a little bit of shaving to the rear tower, mountinrg the shocks to the rear of the tower and rpm mounts front and back. I run one from j concepts on my 10t. one day i will get a body from the king of lexan :D . the stockers really do look the best. :mrgreen:
