RC10GT Off the Start
I was wondering how fast an RC10GT is. Im not sure if I should get an x cellerator or an rc10. I want which ever one is the quickest in acceleration. I know cars can be modified but I want to know what is fastest right out of the box. This is the first cfar I will have and have read TOO MANY threads about all of the ST's out there. I know the RC10 is good for racing but I will just be bashing. I was goling to get a rustler but I dont think I want to have to buy a charger and battery pack for the electric start, it just seems like one more thing to keep up with. (I fly planes so I have enough to keep up with) Tower hobbies has a $20 off if you spend more thjan 150, but I can only get an rc10 and not an x cellerator. I found an xcellerator online for 132 bucks and now IM torn between these two cars. SO which one is the quickest out of the box. Thanks

The Excellerator also has an option for a prebuilt chasis with no engine or radio that features several clutch bells, and extra adjustments for racing.

omg!!!! com on guys the x cellerator is sure enough faster but it comprimises that for agility ie. handling + it is a known fact that the rc10gt is the better basher and if anyone dissagree with that then they obviosly dont have a clue!
also the x-cellerator is a reletivly new st wereas the rc10gt has been around for years and has proven itself too be a world champ(no gold medels for the x-cell.
and ... there are thousands of upgrades for the gt and hardly any for the x-cell.
my choice along with thousands of others would be to go with the rc10gt - if not then go for the rustler but surely set your standerds higher than the x-cell.

RE: RC10GT Off the Start
All I can say is that the RC10GT is the one that I'd pick not just because I have one but beause they have so much more to offer as far as performance value, and durability. Not taking anything away from the other I't has high marks also w/a powerful motor and speed but over all i just think that you can go the extra mile with the GT. RED
