RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Hello everyone I'm a newbie here and just wanted to post some pictures of my RC10T I just picked up off eBay earlier in the week. Im not to sure what version this is, but I'm sure its a sport version as it has bushings through out. I also picked up set of RPM arms as well as a set of black composite arms. I was also lucky to find a new set of MIP CVD's with 3/16 axles. looking to make it a runner so if you all have any advice on changes to make by all means let me know.

Looks great, it's a #7011 kit

Nice score!

I was actually watching that one, but it went higher than I was willing to pay, considering I'm only after select white parts that are interchangeable with a GT for use in my next build.

Thanks. I got it for under $100 shipped and the stealth trans is in better shape then my SC10 2WD after a week of racing. It doesn't look like it was run much, but I might just go modern runner with it, so many parts will get changed out.

I got it for under $100 shipped

Which is a great deal for a guy who wanted a 10T. I'm just after white plastics that fit the GT, so a 10T roller is worth about $50 tops to me.

As for making yours a runner, unless your budget is really constrained, you'll be happy with a $100-$150 brushless combo in the 3,300-3,800 KV range and a 2S or 3S 30c LiPo.

I'm pretty happy with the Atomik Venom 3,300 on my buggy, but it has jumped $60 since I bought in the spring. You can still get a Castle Sidewinder for just over $100; a friend of mine runs that on his 10T, and it works well:

For a servo, I'm pretty sold on the Savox units. $37 will get you a 145 in-oz metal gear servo on Amazon:

As for radio gear, it's pretty hard to beat the deals on take-off Associated XP3 or Axial AX3 combos on ebay at $35-$45 shipped:

I like the XP3 better, but the Axial is compatible with $8 Hobbyking/Flysky receivers, which makes multiple cars on one transmitter very economical. I currently have 9 cars bound to one AX3 transmitter. No model memory, but I don't find it that bothersome.

Very true Sixtysixdeuce, if I was looking for the parts I would have paid less.

I made a decision on electronics for it. My local indoor off-road/on-road track closed down about 2 weeks ago so I'm stripping out my rebuilt TC5. Its only a month old so for a servo I'lll be running a savor 1251, speed control = Novak GTB2, motor = Reedy Sonic 2 17.5 and so I don't have to modify the bulkhead or chassis too much SMC shorty pack. What do you all think?

Nice clean truck...That is the one I want next...Then I will have the 3 that I want...Nice score...

Got her all cleaned up and ready to re-build. Just waiting on a few more parts.

Front end as it currently sits.

Work on the Stealth will now begin as i just go my AVID bearing order.

Picture of tranny before cleaning up and rebuilding the diff. With the exception of the outdrives all else is new. Bearings, diff and idler gear along with B4 top shaft.

A little update, while I wait for a few more parts to come in.

I installed the Composite Craft ball bearing bell cranks, got the big bore shocks built and installed.

Also got the GTB 2 and receiver mounted. Also decided to go all black plastic so I will be dying another set of plastics I got. Still waiting for my carbon fiber shock towers to arrive and trying to figure out how to mount my low profile servo.
