That is a Hawk 2 (1992-1997) based off of the transmission/motor mount. The Hawk one placed the motor and pinion up higher than the spur where as the Hawk 2 tranny/motor mount is more along the lines of the modern Rustlers transmission today where the motor is mounted much lower.
Dam! Yea I’m tempted. I just love the look of these vintage ones because it’s the ones I remember from when I was a kid. It did come with a body, but it’s got a very poopy paint job and stupid stickers on it. Also pretty beat up and cracking. I’ll probably get a new old stock one from eBay and get some original decals for it and give it some decent paint.
Dude. Wtf. That is an awesome friken find. I actually have something similar. I’ll send a photo in a min. I need to get some parts or another of the same car for a parts car. It’s an original team associated rc10t3
Nice!! Yea I am having some luck finding parts for mine on eBay…I would check there. One of the guys in the thread above suggested messaging the sellers that have already posted parts and see if they have anymore that they haven’t listed yet. That’s actually how I found original tires. I’m hoping to get my dad and brother into the hobby too so it will give up something to do together.
Thanks for the advice! Got some parts coming in this week and next, tires, bearings, battery so far until I know what else it needs.…I’ll keep updating the thread as I go!You'll be very lucky if you find parts for that because that is a rarety right there. I would go on ebay and search for that RC. After you do, save the search and set a notification so you will be notified anytime anybody lists a part for it, or a complete RC.
Another tip - if you see anybody selling any part for it, contact them and see if they have anything else for it. Maybe somebody will have some tires or something else they were on the fence about selling.
But finding good tires that old are going to be like finding the holy grail. Most will have long since dryrotted. Every once in awhile though, ebay turns up some goodies.
Great find you have there. That thing is in excellent shape! @STONER RC restored an RC10 gold pan with white plastic arms and such, and he managed to get them looking damn near new. Maybe he can give you some pointers.
Some may disagree with me here, but once you get everything clean, I'd give the plastic a WD40 bath. It can often times refresh old plastic

Way to go! We can always use more people in the hobby!
Nice! Now I want one.
Throwing this in the thread…going to paint the body with original colors and found this website that re-prints vintage decals.
i think that they still make parts for it on their website because i was looking at the legacy and it said that the hawk 2 still has parts support
Can you send a link for that if you can? I can’t find anything in the website
I just looked and I can’t find any parts but on the legacy side of the website it said that it still has parts support
Perfect thank you that’s exactly what I was looking for
WOW!!! That's a dam good find you got there bud. I love restoring older vintage RC's. It's definitely a fun and challenging to say the least hahaha.
You'll definitely be able to find parts. Won't be cheap but they are out there. How many parts you actually looking for?
Waiting for the new batteries to be delivered ao I can really test it. I know it turns on, but I didn’t have the remote working then. I already found new original tires and some other basic stuff. I’ll know more of what I need once I get it up and running. Thanks for the info and helping out!
No worries. To be honest you really should tear apart the trans. And the whole truck. Before you put power to it.
Yea I’ll do that for sure…let me get that thing taken apart and I’ll post some photos. Super new to all of this so I won’t even no if it looks good or bad on the inside.
Once I get that thing complete my taken apart, what type of grease/lube do I use and how much?
