Now time to get it dirty!!

That is what I like to see, one bad ass truck that is going to be driven! You can always clean it when your done and put it up on a shelf, until the next day..

Looks great. Did you paint the shell, or have it done?

Damn straight. This truck is gagging to be run, looking forward to seeing how it handles. It will also be the first time Ive ever run team associated. In fact this is my first TA RC!

I bought it 2nd hand of ebay last year from the US of A, with the shell painted. I think its a later t2-t3 shell - anybody?

Thanks for the comments guys

T2 body, and you should really trade me those RCPS turnbuclkes for some nice new lunsfords

BTW I have those same MIP bellcranks only in white, anybody else ever seen them?

Very nice looking 10T by the way!

Thought it might be a T2, thanks!

Yeah sure, but I will only accept magic beans for trade

Ah, they do exist then - cheers for the pic Daddeo. Would have liked to do a white version but finding parts would be a right pain. They are great bell cranks BTW, compared to my King Cab they are like a hot knife through butter

Thanks Daddeo

Are the rear drive axles supposed to be resting on the rear arms. Im using T2 rear arms and i picked up some 3/16 axles and when set up, they rest on the arms. Just wondering if they are supposed to be like that. I remedied this by using Losi hub carriers but i want to go back to the OG carriers if that is not an issue.

Nope, they should not be touching the rear arms, mine do not touch but the photo makes it look like they do. They are pretty close though and I reckon when rotating at high RPMs they would probably rub. I know the manual refers to using shims to counter axle rub on the arms but I have not experimented with this.

I will take a photo to show you the clearance they have.

I've got some XXCR hubs kicking around so I might experiment with this, cheers

Hey Fakie where did you get the front and rear body mounts? Are they from a certain year model? I just picked up a proline body for a T4 yesterday and i think i can make it fit. If you have any other suggestions, i would appreciate it.

These would be the best choice for making a T4 body fit a T................
