After searching and waiting many years I finally found a nice enough and original enough T2 I wanted for my collection. Ok so do I keep the Reedy Firehawk in it or go with something else ?
Leave the Futaba esc or install a still new Novak Racer I’ve had awaiting the right platform. Get a new body ? Repop decals from MCI or just work with the original that was shot with a couple coats of candy purple pretty evenly but was never backed ?
What do you think ??
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out
We'll, what do you plan on doing with it? If it's going to sit on a shelf, the motor is fine. It is a 27T, 24° stock class motor. It was made for ROAR stock class racing.
It is also one of the motors (several) listed in the parts list for a T2, so it is "correct" for it. The manual itself shows a DS stock motor.
While I have nothing against those Futaba esc's, it's hard to argue with putting a Novak in it.
If they wouldn't have painted the windows, I might could live with the purple. I'd probably do a reproduction body and decals.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
Very much appreciate the info.
As for the body I was considering working with different backing colors to create some form of a paint scheme that’s pleasing to look at. Use black for the windows so the purple is less detectable... designs done with a combination of white, silver, chrome, and black attempting to make it look like full purple candy was purposely done from the start. Think something like that may work out ?

Realized I didn’t answer your question, this ones set for a shelf life. I did pick up a nice T3 figuring that’ll stop me from using this one but that ended up being a way too nice and complete team truck that I couldn’t risk ruining so I picked up an extremely well used standard T3 that really doesn’t care what I do to it.

That Futaba ESC actually brings back memories. I was stoked to finally upgrade it to the Novak though. So for me would be tough to choose too, I'd probably go with the Novak though, maybe the Futaba for a RC10T build... Don't see many RC10T2's for sale. Nice clean truck
While looking for a couple tubs I knew I had I stumbled upon the missing link I forgot that I had purchased…….
The battery hold down for my T2, this thing was harder to get then an entire truck. Finally it’s got all its parts.

Hi,
I have just started the NIX91 build with the intent of having a era correct chassis but to run it with modernish electronics.
I dont have enough posts on here to be able to post pics so if anyone can help unlock that i d happy to share..
I have...
So I got a lot of various rc car stuff from ebay including these front wheel axles. There was no card header on the packaging, just the parts and instructions. They are adapters to run wheels for a Blackfoot, Monster Beetle or Lunch Box on a RC10,...
I got this graphite chassis a couple months ago. I'm guessing it's Composite Craft.
Seems wider just past the bellcranks and narrower through the center of the chassis compared to a gold pan.
It is not pristine. Some belly scratches, a couple gouges...
Here is an Ultima tranny diff and counter gear set. The gears are 48 pitch. I don't remember who made them (MIP, Thorp, Robinson). and Ideas. Thanks -Jeff

Well, its a pretty cool piece (set) but is sort of out of place. By this I mean, that it does not have replaceable diff rings, and only has one replaceable thrust washer (although 2 might fit). It is also very heavy, and would certainly affect your...
I bought this for nostalgia, I used to see this body in RCCA but cant remember who made it, As you can see its a Turbo Optima JG conversion, I have been replacing warn parts on it for a wile, someday i will have it like new hopefully lol.

I think there's a McAllister version that looks similar.
