I have an RC10GT that I've had for about a year. It started life as an RTR, but just about the only part not upgraded now is the original .15 pull-start engine that came with it. I run it regularly on all sorts of terrain, and from time to time on the offroad track at HotRod Hobbies. I love this truck to death.

I started with the Associated trucks way back in the day. I bought the original RC10T electric truck the week it hit store shelves and ran it for 7 years before I switched back to buggies. I've also owned various Losi trucks over the years, and I have to say that they are pretty damn good trucks. Very race able, and I was reasonably happy with all of them.

When it came time to get back into trucks, however, there was no question, I had to have the RC10GT, and its been everything I could ever want. It is also a definite plus that I can walk into virtually any hobby store and get the parts I need, when I need them, and I when i want hop-ups I have a whole slew of manufacturers to choose from.

Bottom line: the RC10GT is the best nitro truck if you want to be able to race, bash, fix, or upgrade. If all you care about is racing, and your driving skills are good enough to really see a difference between two world-class nitro stadium trucks, then its a much harder choice.
