hey just to let the people that think they will stop making the old gt they probly wont because of how good it is and if they did and the gt2 sucks they will bring it back look what losi did with the xx-4 and xxx-4 4wd electric buggys the new xxx-4 wasnt that good so they brought back the old xx-4 worlds buggy

Kemo

who knows, they could keep them both due to the long success they've had with it. About 40% of the ST guys own or have owned a GT I am one of the 60% who haven't

uh...yeah.

A: where's the punctuation
B: Within 2 years the old GT will no longer be produced, but they WILL continue making parts for it.

Kemo

so, how long do you think it'll take for proline to start makin new GT2 wheels? I bid 1 month before or right at the release of the truck.

i'd be surprised if they weren't the ones making them from the get-go.

Kemo

no doubt. Those two companies are almost joined at the hip.

I did notice they don't make wheels for Losi cars anymore...

Kemo

Thats why i buy evader rims. Good enough for me and cheap.

Funny that there's no mention of the new truck on the AE web site and it's supposedly so close to being released.

Wide Open

mihael, the Factory Team GT is a GREAT truck. it won't hurt to tell your hobby shop owner that you're not willing to pay full price when the GT2 is coming out soon though

mihaelbencek

i would make then a video with my new motor and the truck.
my motor is great i think, i dont know but i think its a great motor
LRP z12r team spec2

That's a good solid reliable engine...and it'll be more than enough power for your GT

mihaelbencek

i wanna make wheelies on street, i hope this motor do this

If that is the factory team version, why does it have normal plastic shock towers and a-arms? I think the dual layer chassis looks too much like the xxx-nt. It is the exact same format. The first gt was a lot more simple and easier to work on than the xxx-nt, plus the price was better. Now that they are the smae in design, and maybe price, it will be intresting to see who comes out with more sales. I am going to say that the AE is going to win that one....mostly because of their great track record. What do you guys think?

cawyman

and ae is cheaper in my opinion

Kemo

I wouldn't doubt on the engine being able to pull wheelies. I had the HPI .15 SS in that kyosho ultima truck I used to have (the engine has slightly more power than an OS .15 CV) and she'd pull wheelies whenever necessary.

Home_Depot_Guy

This truck looks pretty cool actually.

I like my XXXNT and was considering the Drake2, but, with the aftermarket support Associated seems to have over Losi ( and the ever controlling Horizon ), I think I'm going to jump ship.

dac8

So if it has the same a-arms as a t4 like it appears to have then the alloy arms that are sold aftermarket will fit i wonder what other parts are the same looks like a tricked out gt2 in my future

Now you all are saying it looks like a Losi because it has a double chassis and now it’s going to be a PITA to fix any thing. I thought the same thing at first too, but I took the time to look at both and I can see the differences. The radio section is from the TC3 design and comes out with 3 screws. Sounds easy to me?
The rear brake isn’t like the Losi’s either. It’s behind the spur like the original GT so it wont be a PITA to get to the rear diff off.

To me, the only thing it resembles to a Losi is the fact it has a double deck chassis. Even that is a bit different how and where it sits.
Instead of the one bar form the front, it now has the upper deck to make it a bit more stiffer. What about the new ERA double deck chassis for the original GT? Same theory but the GT2 is lighter.

looks like a radio shack car with all that plastic. looks heavy
