The "Polished Turd" RC10 Pickup Truck

Team Associated RC10 Pickup Truck, but it's a 1/12 scale

General RC Information

I tried! The build wasn't too bad, but this kit leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the "dyeable" parts wouldn't take dye. The axles are horrible. The diffs are tight so you can't shim them to get good mesh, which causes the ring gear to break easily. Its currently sitting broke on my work bench. I emailed Associated about it and they couldn't even send me original parts. They are mailing me black axles from the CR12. The shocks are absolutely terrible and aren't even worth putting on the truck.

this rig looks really cool, but that is just about all it has going for it.
