    I have an old RC10T at home. Original box and building instructions and everything. My dad built it long ago. It needs a few little parts but otherwise runs. I put a fast motor on it so the batteries don't last super long so I got bored with it. Probably going to sell it if it's worth anything. Otherwise I'd keep it for my kids one day.

    Got a stock Jato body. Might make it easier to sell/trade than a pink body not made for the chassis. Also swapped in longer shocks in the rear for more droop.

    I know this video isn't very good, but does it look like my car is in tune? I'm no pro at tuning these so I think it's close but maybe it should be better.

    If I have time tonight I'm going to at least trim it out and start to do masking for paint

    I think I'm just going to try to make it look as close to possible as my truck. uploadfromtaptalk1361847426860.jpg

    The pro line body mounts are nice. Can't Waite to try them

    I think you're right, I checked and the screw was 3.5 turns out. I usually go with 2.5 to start so I must not have been paying attention. It did run well though.

    Too many to list

    From seeing the guys at a local hobby shop, I think either are a good choice, both will need some minor upgrades like anything.

    Alot of guys are waiting for the TLR scte 2.0 to come out.
