Jimbo302's Trucks

[Jimbo302]

So, I picked up another skinny tire #7001 truck to fiddle with.

Looks like you have some work ahead of you.

Great project, looks like it may have RPM body posts though.

Score...if you do another one with RPM. Those RPM white body posts are getting hard to find

Yeah, I've got some white rpm front arms and a rpm gear cover I was thinking about adding if I really wanted to clean it up.

I may have the original body posts somewhere . It is a 1 owner truck. A long long time ago 1 front arm broke , got replaced with a white one thankfully. The tub got swapped to a old rc10 worlds my dad had , ran like that for the lomgest time. Then went back to truck. My dad bought it new and built it for me , i ran it a lot. Sat in a box for many many many years ( tires removed ) then i got it.

Glad to see its going to member here. Please take care of my baby id hate to let it go, but i do have that truck's "sister" caddilac 6 gear goldpan.

Thats awesome. Thanks Tuna. So, what's the story on the six gear transmission swap?

Its been in there for as long as i can remember. My dad put the original in his worlds car ( which got sold to a member here a few years ago ) . The tub on the worlds car got bent , so he took the tub from the 10T and ran it like that for a while. Eventually got a new tub and the 10T got put back together.a 6 gear was put in place of it for me to run.

My dad went thru the 10t about 7 years ago on xmas, we ran it and a few others. I got it , and it has been untouched since. I ran it a few months ago , but lost the tamiya to deans connector .

I used to be a big rc10 nut.. but with the family fight we had , i just dont care for them anymore. That was my child hood , my dad and rc10s. They just sit and collect dust. Hate to let it go , but at least someone else can appreciate it and enjoy it and give it the attention it deserves. Selling it will fund the kyosho assault restorations i have waiting. ( go to buy parts for one then end up buying another basket case )

[Jimbo302]

I see. I sold the #7001's I had and found myself wanting another. I had told myself I was going to keep just one RC10T, though. So, I plan to put all the good stuff from my sport truck on it, while preserving the original parts, and sell the #7011 truck.

any updates ?

I moved overseas for a number of years and it got put in a box for another time. I plan to revisit it next time I get a break from life, ha. My youngest liked your body however, and it lived on his T3.
