Hello from France

I'm new in this forum
I have a T2 bought new in 1995 and i'm back to the track with it.
I rebuild it (i have to post pictures, they are @ home i'll do it asap) disassembled it, cleaning all the plastic, rebuild the diff and shocks with new o rings and oil and it was almost as new.
I'm impressed buy the quality and the fact that the truck after a few time was ready to race again.

I changed the motor by a 3520 kv 4 poles and some 5.2 A 30C lipo. The truck was fast, full of power, and verry funny. Unfortunately i broke the right rear arm mount


Thanks

Hi! Welcome! I like your toast!

Hello All

I've just received THE spare part for my truck #7363 !
I'm back on the track !

I also might have found someone who can marke this part in aluminium. So i might never broke it up again !

Some pics in action when the sun will be back in Toulouse. It's 1 month now that it's raining and we are supposed to be in the south of france.

Thanks

Nice truck... Interesting battery strap, can also see it being nice in carbon.

Also possible to do inline electronics too

Hello

The battery strap is home made from the original plastic battery strap.
I used 2 3mm * 45 mm screws and put some silicone hose to insulate it from the chassis.
I should make 2 nice pices of carbon to fix the battery but i don't have carbon and this system works well.

I ran the truck last sunday and it was a lot of fun. With the 5.2 A lipo i have almost 45mn with an incredible top speed, maybe too much for this truck.

I ordered from a korean site some aluminium rear arms mount and received them yesterday. It's 0° of toe-in but it seems very strong. It's a good replacement part for the 7363 associated, very hard to find.

My next option for this truck will be mip cvd i think.

Thanks

So after almost one year i'm still breaking the same part.
I also broke a dogbone and find a pair of the originals plus other spares at a good price.
After a 2nd crash i will use the 0° toe-in aluminium rear arms mount and the 3° toe-in outboard that i found for this truck.
I hope the set up will be ok too.
I try to save my 2 last 3° toe-in rear arms mount for the next owner of this truck, i'm not sure i will keep it as i'm looking for a runner with spare parts (a 8 y/o child needs spare parts )

Whats the bottom of the chassis look like?

Hello

Sorry for the late reply.
Here some pictures of my T2's back


and


It's the T2 back
My motor guard is completely deformed. It has been used a lot and saved my motor a lot of times but now it's too desformed to be efficient.
If someone has this motor guard for T2 or an other suitable motor guard i might be interested.

This truck might also be for sale, i'm wondering if i try to find a good runner for brushless motors or if i keep this truck running. I don't want this to cost me hundreds of euro that's why i'm thinking about a newer runner.
