got this team car on ebay just for $51.00
came with Tekin 410 ESC






with some new parts, and with a little help from OxyClean and toothpaste


T2 steering


with CE


got new wrolds nose plate and aeiou's steering idea. Thanks Paul.
and, she got B3/T3 slipper clutch.


didn't get the front shock tower for .89 shocks yet. so, I installed .89 shock bodies & .56 shafts.


Bonus, my gold finally got painted!

nice rigs. that gold paint job looks pretty neat.

was it whitening toothpaste?

Cool build, out of the vintage RC10s I think the worlds and the graphite are my favorite

I have a couple of questions for ya.

Why did you go with the T2 steering? Is it stronger??

And

I noticed that you mounted your servo on an angle, is that why there's an extra set of holes where the servo mounts?? I have a 10T and mounted the servo straight instead of an angle, what's the benefit of mounting it on an angle?? not questioning your mounting, but questioning my own mounting


Thank you.

Thank you.

the original steering had cracks when I get the car, so I just installed what I have.
also I tried T2 steering on my gold runner. it worked fine, and strong.

I wanted to make the steering turnbuckle as short as possible. I got BLS 6.5T on this project, and ordered GTB. I do believe fast car needs quick steering response. short steering turnbuckle is for that (I hope). then I noticed I had to bend the turnbuckle. but, I didn't want to do. so, I just found a way to mount a servo. and, this made the servo being parallel with the turnbuckle. that worked when I was digging Yokomo and AE GT and T2 at 80's and 90's. I hope it works again.

you know what? I didn't know what I got, only a couple of weeks ago.
