That's a kick A$$ truck for the money out of the box...

Fuel glow plugs battery for the grip and your good to go...

Go check out some of the swap / buy forums at hobbytalk.com you might find something there ready to go in your price range...Some of those guys are looking to get something new so they will give you a whole bunch of extra's (parts tires etc) with the car. Really good deals.

Status: offline 		Go to hobbytalk, Staticsag post 8-19-04 under Off Road Swap has a FS: RC10GT Factory Team.

Lists everything for 215 and a price drop. So I think he would even go under your price range since he's had it up there a while.

Hooked up!

Status: offline 		It's not crap like Red says. That is an uneducated statement. Besides, asking whether or not a vehicle is any good is no use in this forum. All you will get in reply is people saying you should get what they have. Just look at all the "what truck is the best" posts. It is ridiculous. The truth is you can get a very good deal on a Smartech vehicle because you get a lot for the money and spare parts are cheap. The bad part is, however, Smartech says they are "closing [their] doors" (going out of business). They will supply spare parts for as long as possible, but after that you're on your own. As said, spare parts are cheap, but unfortunately not necessarily readily available. Chances are you won't find what you are looking for at your local hobby store. So, Smartech vehicles are not crap, but in the long run you would be better off chosing a much more popular vehicle. If you are looking for a stadium truck, the ST-15 is a great deal for the money, spare parts are inexpensive, and it has decent options. For a few bucks more you will get more for you money with an Evader and their options are a little bit better. The RC10GT costs more, but is a great truck with many options. The Losi trucks are better for racing than bashing and is on the upper end of the ST pricing scale. Regardless of what you choose you will continuously spend money on it. That is, if you want to keep running it. Because, you will break the thing from time to time and you must have support equipment, fuel, glow plugs, tools, etc.

That truck has been discontinued. Spare parts will be harder to come by as time goes on.
