first save it to your computer and then when you are in the "reply" box, in the bottom left corner it should say "upload images" click on the then click browse, then when you have the pic you want click ok. i took my gt to a construction site today! it was a blast tat thing is pretty durable for an st, didnt break anything, just had my dogbones come out and shock pop off the gay little screw thing, nothin big at all!

My RC10GT is stock at the moment... Well, about as stock as it comes... I hear they are super sweet so I swapped some computer hardware for mine.
It was only ran for a total of 30 minutes. The last owner ran into "Vapor-Lock" and was stumped on how to fix it so I had to get it.
Mine has not seen the track yet, just my drive-way.
It has the stock .15 engine .. I was looking to upgrade it but I am lost in what would be the best one to upgrade to. I see some have the .12's but that's how I am lost. Is the lower the engine number the better, or higher the better?
I also wanna change the body.. I don't really like the stock body at all. I want to put a dodge pickup body on it [>:]
Once I get to a track, I'll take some pics and upload. How about some hop-up tips?
Thnkx.

for racing the best engines are .12's because they are legal at all tracks, but for speed or bashing buy a .15 or .18
It also depends on the quality of the engine, there are .12 that go super fast

Ok, so how would i go 4x4 on this truck?
Any suggestions? I don't plan to race or anything special, I just want something that is fun to me![Smile](https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I also want to raise it. The stock height sucks.

Rear spring kit [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBVG0&P=7]here[/link]. Front spring kit [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBVF8&P=7]here[/link].
I run the gold ones on the rear with either 2 large spacers each(big jumps) or 1 large and 1 medium(track). I run the silver springs in the front with 2 medium spacers pretty much everwhere.

First of all, get some good bashing tires. Proline Dirt Paws(real nice bashing tire, probably the best) on the rear are great for grass and dirt. You can run the stockers on the front.
Don't try to lift your truck at all, just get stiffer springs and maybe a thicker shock oil, maybe some smaller shock valves. If your dog bones/CVDs start to set at to much of an angle from level, things start to break. The low ground clearance of a stadium truck is what gives it the great handeling, the drawback is that you can't clear as many things as a 1/8th monster truck.
You can get better bumpers so you can just hit and slide over obsticles, there are some really nice aluminum and titanium front bumbers/skids for sale on tower.
Get the Hardcore Racing titanium shock towers and some RPM front a-arms(rear also if you must). These parts are pretty much indestructable. MIP 4-N-1 clutch is great.
Make sure that you set your break to apply slightly at idle because hammering the breaks going into a turn can cause some nasty rollovers. It's much better to just let off the gas and have the car carve the turn nicely.
Other things to get:
RPM Bulkhead
RPM Receiver box(water is bad for receivers)
MIP Shiny CVDs(if you have the RTR) If you keep the dogbones, clip 1/16" pieces if fuel tube and place inside outdrive hubs) trust me.
Factory Team screw kit(you want 2 of these)
Extra e-clips for hinge pins and clutch bell(not the same sizes)
Remove the carb resrictor after 1 gallon of fuel.(will need serious re-tuning)
Use McCoy MC-59 glowplugs if you can, they are a bit expensive(almost $6 each!)
Enjoy! I'm sure I'll think of other stuff later.

but still it is going to so hard to break. also i am going to put tmaxx springs on my rc10 to give more ride height but with stock springs i dont have any problems. and i love the shiny look it gives off. [&:] also i have put tons of money in my car.
