No update for the moment, sorry. I'm waiting for some parts and and hardware...coming soon!

Finally some progress

It's almost done. I just need some servo posts, a new body (will be probably a TBG body) + decals and I have to install electronics.

Battery cups are taking a bath in peroxide

Looking great Daniel! I have two questions for you:
1)- do the front bumper screws have 4 little dots stamped in.
2)-are the rear hub carriers the 0* (#7365) marked with a 0 , or the 1.5* (#7358) marked with an L (for left).
Thanks

I've checked this for you!

1) yes, screws have 4 little dots stamped in.
2) 1.5° with an L

But why do you want to know these details?

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks for checking
I'm putting together something for my thread, and a general research on screws is a passion of mine as many types of screws were used throughout the runs. Since your truck is a "B" stamp with black comp. arm's, and a worlds rear bulkhead, I wondered if it was switched up to a 0* hub.. I'm always looking for the tiny details.......after all the devil is in the details...BTW, I think that Elite is correct to this truck!

I was confused now, didn't notice you were talking about the motor with "Elite" lol

As I said: yes, I think you're right. The motor is probably correct.


I was pretty lucky with that find. The truck is in a really good shape, just needed to be stripped down and a good cleaning. I didn't have to replace parts, even a screw! (except the battery cups) But I have to admit that I'm maniac...so decided to replace the nose plate because it was slightly bent and the dust cover because it has a small crack...

The Reedy Elite Stock Motor! It's like new, still with the original cables and connector!

Very nice RC10T.

Did you put bearings in it?

Thank you!

No it still has the original bushings. It's all stock

I was thinking about converting it to a team truck, I have all the requested parts to do it but I finally decided to keep it all stock

Cheers,
Daniel

Does anyone have a slammed TBG Body¿

I ordered one but didn't notice the difference at the first look, I tought it was the "original look Body"...wonder how it looks like (painted)

Looks like a version of a team truck body.... kinda......Not correct for your truck

Hi Marlon,

thank you for the advice! As I said I already ordered this body and just noticed the difference after...

So body, decals and lexan colors are ordered. Today I will install electronics and battery cups

Vale,

Let me know if you like the body. I need a new one for my 10T and was on the fence about the slammed body. I wish they had it painted to see the differences better.

No problem! I also have been searching for finished bodies but I've found nothing, not even a picture. I will compare the original body the slammef body and post some pictures.

I installed the electronics...also new Pro-Line knuckles so the truck is almost finished. I'm just waiting for the new body
