Status: offline 		I wouldn't recommend it but for some reason (that was never found before the death of the engine) when i installed an AXE Rossi .12 in mine (an X3 i think) i had to block the pressure line with a screw, so yeh, GT tanks have always been very strange.

Status: offline 		That an impossible question to answer if we dont know what you want out of it.
Do you have a side or rear exhaust?
whats your gearing? What sort of tracks will yuou race it on?
what sort of power delivery do you want?
What rules do you have to comply with?

Heres the rules for pipes.

You want more low end, get a long skinny one, you want more top end get a short fat one. the ones with ripples are a gimmick and dual chambered pipes usually have good mid range.

What pipe do you have on atm?

Status: offline 		I am having a problem getting my servo saver to fit. I haveupgraded the steering assembly to all aluminum and there is no servo saver built in. so I bought one of the servo savers that is the servo arm/servo saver combo. the only problem is that it is too thick and is hitting the RPM reciever box. is there some way to make this fit besides drilling new holes in the chassis? I have just upgraded to a Hitech 645 steering servo and I don't feel like buying another ine after this on ebreak due to no saver!
Thanks

Status: offline 		I recently picked up a RC10GT off e-bay and have been having a blast until tonight.....I was running it in the dirt lot behind my house and it shut down and would not restart. I checked the glow plug, and made sure it was getting fuel. I did notice the air filter had slipped off the carb and was sitting near the tank. It feels like I may have lost some compression.. when I pull the glow plug and put my finger over the hole.

I have an O.S 15 engine, and dont know much about how to tear it down for inspection, or what to look for. Is there an online guide or FSM?? Sorry about being such a noobie, but this seems to be the place to find the info I need.

Here is a pic of my ride with the new shoes I scored on CL...

Status: offline 		does anyone know if RPM makes a front bulkhead for the GT? Its the only peice of plastic that is stock on my truck and I want to upgrade. or if there is an aluminum one available that would be fine too. it hasn't broke yet but if it does I want to have an upgraded part for it if there is one available.
Thanks

Status: offline 		Thanks toki, I'll have to order that if I ever break the factory one.

next question... how do you guys setup the slipper? I stripped an idler gear in the tranny( only plastic gear in the drivetrain) last night I think nits because the slipper was too tight. I just replaced the gear with a new one and I have an RRP idler gear on order. I have my slipper right now set at one turn from completely tight. is this right or should it be tighter or looser?
Thanks

Is this thread still alive?



I was just wondering the same thing. It has been a while since I have been on due to the fact that my RC10GT is trashed. I am still looking for a roller that has suspension parts included. Once I find one for a good price ill be back in action ( anyone happen to have one PM me LOL ).

So let's see some pics and get this thread going again.

Status: offline 		vg30dett93 (wow handful of a name you havet here ), why can't you just stick a regular batt pack where the AAs for the reciever go?? Or am I misunderstanding..?

You can also just use rechargable AAs.

Status: offline 		Sup everyone, I'm new to the whole RC scene but my cousin whos been doing it for awhile has finally convinced me into trying them out....

Well needless to say after picking up two used RC10GT's (got a great deal), I am hooked..... I'm already upgrading one of them with all new parts from RPM, MIP etc...... upgraded the OS max engine to a O.S. Engines 18CV-RX(S) and bought several new clear bodies to customize to my liking...... Once I am done with installing all my upgrades and finish modding it I will post up pictures of before and after shots........

I just traded a Factory Team RC10GT roller for a brushless Mini-t with lipos. But I have another Factory Team GT I will be selling soon on RCU. This one has some mods and is not a roller. It has servos/a Hot Bodies .18 engine/CVEC Pipe/aluminum rear bulk head/RPM front arms just to mention a few. I am going to ask $185 for it if you are interested.
Check out the pics below.
