]welp after building my parts bin hawk/rustler , decided to dig again
and starting a rc10t
not a bad start so far
used rpm t3 fronts (had to shave down the front mounts a tad )

looks like im due for some shock rebuild kits lol

betty is all finished
with her t3 rpm front arms she is a bit big up front but hey ,she's betty lol
went with a 9t reedy brushed motor
initial tests in the living room are good lets hope I got the gearing right
cant beat only having to buy one part(pair of bearings for one front tire) for the entire build

(yes im a married grown man with pacman sheets )

I have not looked yet for any rebuild kits (think I have a few left in my nip associated parts box)

more like finding 120$ in the laundry lol
with all the spares I have I can probably build 3-5 more rc10 buggies or trucks but im all out of transmissions (might have 1 or 2 6 gears left that just need a little rebuilding)
not to mention the b3,evader ,minilst2 and a few other parts trucks that are 90% complete and have the needed parts in my nip boxes
but at this point im almost full up on my rc shelf allotment , so I need to slow down and keep the parts cars as just that lol
