That's a great color... reminds me of Cliff Lett's team moo RC10ST. Nice job painting... was it spray bombs?

If period correct matters with reverse, I'd say a normal Rooster or 610-rv and one of the NER-2 receivers or a Polaris if you can find one. As for the servo, well you can get a Novak but will cost a small fortune. if period correct doesn't matter and you want to stay brushed with reverse I'd say a Super Rooster with a XXL receiver.

This is a great list of what is needed for the klein / bigjeepzz arm conversion composed by PBR Allstar. Since, you spray painted yours, it should be fairly easy to pick up a beat (or new) 10t nose plate and take the same steps you did to spray paint the rc10 nose plate. Or, perhaps cut the orange spray painted nose plate that you have, like Y'ernat Al did in his recently completed beautiful OTBA build here http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=24390 and touch up as needed. Or, I'm sure there are 10 other ways 10 other members could think up :lol:

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX2929&P=M Associated truck nose tubes
(these need to be shortened and redrilled for the correct wheelbase)
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTHT3&P=7 Dubro turnbuckles (x3 these need to be cut to length but is the cheap way to go, also good to use to determine length if you want to use titanium in the future

You will also need a truck front nose plate, these are no longer in production but are easy to find in the BST section or aftermarket ones are very plentiful on ebay like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Aluminum-Alloy-Front-Nose-Plate-Bumper-Fits-RC10GT-RC10_W0QQitemZ190311126494QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2c4f6d55de

There are other ways around it, but that is a pretty comprehensive parts list, it can be done pretty cheap (realatively speaking) if you get parts and help from members here, and scour ebay. If you want the slammed body look with the cut down chassis then you need to make your own rear shock tower or find a 10T rear tower which is no longer available from associated, but are still easy to find on ebay.

The assembly is very straight forward, Like mentioned above, you need to cut the nose tubes and redrill them so they work with the nose plate in the short wheelbase position, if you opt not to do this it will still work but the steering geometry will not be correct. It's good to have a dremel on hand as a couple parts may need a small tune up to fit perfectly, it's also a good idea to have a .126" chucking ream on hand to ensure a perfect fit of your hinge pins, those can be found at mcmaster carr for cheap http://www.mcmaster.com/#3087a31/=57tbxg hope this all helps those wanting to do the conversion!

the arms are way longer than stock, so a narrow front end is needed. they were designed using the truck front plate/bulkhead/shock tower.
