Sure did. 8s motor(same as you will run). I ran 8 cells with it, too. I did upgrade to an alloy idler gear in the tranny, but otherwise never had any troubles with it handling the power. It was damn fast, too!

Guys, you're mean! Ever since I got interested in RC, I wanted some kind of AE rc10. Just never got around to look for one. Still can't make my mind up if I want a buggy or a truck.
One day, I'll get one.

Rene, and 10th scale indoor track would be cool, eh?

Yeah! need to get a bigger house then!!

Mike, where can i get such an idler?

Have you got pics of your RC10 ?

Daniel; i would personally get a truck, it has got a bit bigger wheels, so you can drive thru grass etc.

The sucker's built like a tank, especially because of the alum. tub chassis.

So far in 3 years i've broken only 2 front bulkheads and stripped out a rear suspension mount (replaced with rpm's now)


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

I can get the alloy idler, Rene. I may even have one kicking around here somewhere, actually. I didn't get any pictures of it, unfortunately. I do have the roiginal tub chassis rc10T also. I could take a picture of that, but it hasn't been run in years. Perhaps I should ready it for some serious bashing!

not sure the exact material, but I never took my tranny apart after I installed it(never had the need to). :)

Same here, my T2's stock (or whatever's inside the tranny, I haven't had to take it apart) takes the power fine, and I have yet to break anything more than a ball stud. I've since gone through and put on Lunsford Ti turnbuckles and rear ball studs (also Ti) and RPM ball cups, the thing's indestructable!

Hey, let us know how the T2 turns out, mine was in sad shape when I got it......but I'd still say it was more than worth the $30 for the roller. :D

It's since been really cleaned up, as well as had the Lunsford treatment all around (including Ti ball studs on the rear because I killed a steel one and had to get a new bulkhead): http://photobucket.com/albums/v39/dabid_van/T2/

BTW, the lexan spur that came with it was nuked on the first run, Lehner 5300 sheared ALL the teeth off!
