u may want to adjust your front tires so they sit flat on the ground...unless u wanted them to run on there sides like that.

I've got one to...I mounted a OS 15 CV-R on mine...hanven't runt it much with that engine though...

I like the truck, it's the first R/C I got and I had some initial problem with it but since I monuted my home made "roll-cage" I haven't broken more than one front wheel...and that inludes some rather heavy impacts...

I've got loads of photos on my homepage : http://dclxvi.no-ip.info

Here is some samples :

You mean the body? That is the Kyosho USA-1 GP (Nitro Crucher) body with the chrome parts...

I think the TT 15Pro is a great engine, holds the tune easily and average power...although, I changed the glow plug to a QuikFire F7 quite early...that one are soooooo much better...

I don't really know about the width...I've never seen an RC10GT in real life...but the body is this one : http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXT553&P=7
And you'll need atleast the first of the listed accesories...

^^_FaWaZ_^^: Gear it down or move more weight backwards...(mount the battery pack on the shock tower)...if you regear it (lesser teeth on the cluch bell) you'll loose some speed...I geard mine more for speed (17T instead of stock 15T) and it will almost lift the front end...I bought a revicer pack (6v 1100 mHA NiHM, five cells side by side) that I will try and mount beside the throttle servo, I hope that this will give the truck somewhat better weight distrubution as I think it is a bit forward shifted right now...

i think its the same width as the rc10gt, all stadium trucks seem to be the same in size i believe.

I had some problem breaking bulkheads aswell...I solved that by making the rollcage you can see on one of the pics above (my server is down at the moment, I forgot to restart it before I went to work this morning)...

I mount the body on the roll-cage...I had to extend the front pin somewhat but that is no biggie...and if you are running the stock body, you won't have to...

Thats funny, cause i never broke a bulk head on mine. So one needs to make some aluminum parts for the thunder tiger dt10, like a-arms, or new shock towers, etc.

I think that the A-arms are unbreakable...knock on wood...I have never broken one of mine and I have put it up to extensive abuse...

Try cooking them...worked for me...(it was still hard)...

Try cooking the whole tire and rim before you cut it next time and you can pull the tire off...
