Just some updated information on my RC10B2.
Rebuilt the trans with a new transmission case.
Inside of the transmission still plenty of black grease on the gears and all of the bearings spun like they were brand new. I did take apart the ball diff and checked out everything, it looked brand new like it was just built.
Everything put back together, it looks so much nicer than the old one.
Mounted new rear suspension mounts(3* toe 0* anti-squat), transmission and a arms to the chassis plate.
I was going to rebuild the shocks and could not figure out how to get the o rings out until I realized I needed the shock tool. I have been looking all over the place for some spring clamps, the threads are stripped out in mine but they hold in place. I could always drill a hole through the other side get a longer bolt and put a nut on the end of it. But for now I just cleaned them up a bit.
The shocks mounted and rear links added.
The B3 a arms mounted, they mount up a little different than the stock arms did, but they fit really well. Got everything mounted up for the front suspension.
Front end completely mounted with the RPM front bumper for the GT2, B4, T4 and HPI Firestorm, didn't even have to mod anything it bolted right up.
Rebuilt the Trinity Speed Gems 2 motor, new brushes, springs and bearings from Holmes Hobby's.
Electronics mounted. And messing around with the different wheel sets I have.
Tried my painting skills on my new gear cover. I want to buy another can of this paint, and do up a body in it.
