RC Bashers

Ok the wait is over, well kinda lol. I dont have it in my hands but its shipping tomorrow from a guy I know, RC10T the original from back when. For $50 its in pretty good shape the body will go tho lol pretty banged up looking. This was my favorite AE rig even over the buggy and really excited to have one now.
Here is a interesting story some might find funny. Back in the day I had the rc10 buggy it was the newer one and I had bought one of the new powder coated tubs(red) so I started seeing the adds for the new 10T version but it was still some time before it was gonna be out to the public just the team guys had em of course. So I was bored one day and called up AE to see if they had a date for release, I ended up talking to a head guy at AE I forget his name now but hes a well known person there so maybe someone knows that...anyway told him what I have and was dying for the T to come out well he says their still a ways from release BUT they had all the separate parts on hand and if I wanted I could piece a T together form my buggy! Well he says the kicker is you have to pay the package price, for those that know AE has their stuff as list price so its higher then you pay at a store, so I said well add it up and lets go from there. So he does and I dont recall the amount now but I did it! So I cna with certainy say least in my area I had the only 10T and was rather proud to take it to the local track at the time to show it off
Ok so onto the pics, here is the old 10T I talked about, had to be early 90's I think

You sure like your vintage RC's.

That yellow body is crazy lookin, and what's with the camber on the rear tires?

Even tho I could use the $ and it's totally behind/under boxes of other stuff doing nothing, I'm still not real keen on giving up my Big Bear.
If I ever do end up letting it go I'll offer it to you first before I list it anywhere.

Thats the way they came, made it easier to drive but you could get 0 degree blocks.
Yea im on a kick to get the ones I had when I was a kid or ones I really wanted but couldnt and I pretty much have done that except for the buggy champ is still waiting for me lol.

Got the truck yesterday and got right into tearing it down for cleaning since it has some cancer on most of the screws, bearings and even the tranny outdrives Gonna give the plastics a dye bath to refresh them, read just even boiling them helps bring them back life by adding I think its air into them making them flexible again and not brittle.
Fun part will be a body best I can find is a repro which they want $45 for and maybe some street rubber.

hmm no love for the old ones heh?
Anyway tore it all apart and cleaned everything, redyed the parts, lubed the gears and just waiting on some wheel bearings since the others were rusted and the fronts were bushings so forget that. Also replaced most rusted screws with purty stainless ones. Next fun part is getting a body, dam repros are $45! More then a slash body yikes.

Damn Savage. That's sweet can't wait till it's done. Now I wish I had my old Radicator. I could probably get a Bandit since they look similar but it's just not the same.

Yea I have and our new member Jeffro has another one that even in better shape with a body I suppose to buy this month but I was delt a curve so it waits. Dam bodies are outrageous for the repros, $50 is hard to shell out

update to this, got another one from Jeffro a few weeks ago and swapped some parts from one to another since his was basically new. Robbed some electrics from other rides and got a old novak xxl rx in there for a mx3, novak gtx esc and a 13t motor, venom 7 cell 3000mah pack. Just need a servo
