RE: RC10gt
Well, i suppose if you're creative enuf there is no limit to the size engine you can put in that thing 
I'd like to see a GT with a Saito 1.20 or somethin, now that would be sweet.... so anyway, i think you can get .18's that drop in without modification. I think you would even be happy with some of the more powerful .12's. Try the fantom .12.

RE: RC10gt
A .26 in a tiny stadium truck would be too powerful and too large. You would need many modifications for it to work, and probably many custom parts. For such a small truck, you need to think power to weight. Most of the trucks you see .26 engines in are 1/8 scale monster trucks that weigh around 15 lbs. I've heard of people fitting RC10GT's with .21 engines on other forums, and with available tranny hopups for the RC10GT and a sick mind, I'm sure you could fit a .21 in there. I'll see if I can find that post where I read about putting a .21 in a RC10GT.

RE: RC10gt
quote from 'HondaPride":
hwo is a nt fasterr and more durable...hes getting a betetr engine and you can basically get anything for teh gt in titanium and u cant for teh nt so hwo is it mroe durable...and i also here peopel snap alot of plastic parts that losi has cuz it is weak...my gt has taken a beating and nto broken one plastic piece yet...so where do u get your info from?
[/quote]
dude have you ever heard of the spell check?. and the losi is a for a good driver or a racer so titanium would slow it down, and at least it comes with a decent radio...

RE: RC10gt
dude i'm sure if he wants to put a big engine in he doesnt need a racer....common sense and the gt is just as good if not better and has tons more hop ups and if he puts a big engine in he will probably want to check out a titanium chassis and parts cuz they are lighter then aluminum and stronger so yea it weighs it down alot more than plastic but not aluminum....if u dont want it to break and u have the cash and the engine with power then u dont need to worry about the wieght as much cuz it will still smoke alot of other gts and it wont break like the others cuz it will be stronger
