Yes sir it is identical to the Black Tub Chassis except it is Blue. Its in ok shape but the chassis itself is pretty decent. I got some pics of it in the Showoff Your ST thread on page 3. It is the 3rd post. I'm gonna start posting pics soon on here with the rebuild going on.

Thanks man if we all GT dudes chip in it gets more interesting, my thought tho.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Barber420 did you toque care of your clutch problem on your GT?

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Yeah, I just went with the 4 way clutch. It seems to work good, but I haven't really gotten to drive it much. The one way bearing in my Tiger Drive broke, and I haven't been able to replace it yet!:eek:[:@] I've been working on other projects.[&:] I've got WWAAAAAYYYYYYYY too many RC's!!!!:) Hopefully, I'll be driving it around my track in a couple of weeks. Everything is all good to go besides the OWB.

quietnas1, I just looked at your pics; that thing is nuts. It's got the old style chassis with blue andonization, but all of the shock towers, arms, etc... are all GTplus/2 style![&:] Can't wait to see it all rebuilt. Interesting that it has the gold RC10T shocks on it. Looks like she was rode hard and put away wet, but that just makes it that much more satisfying when it's perfectly rebuilt!!:D

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Yeah its crazy. The front A arms don't match but the shocks are kinda cool and they feel pretty stiff. I got my shopping list ready but that is going on a seperate post.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Ok here is my shopping list.
New Era 125cc fuel tank.
AE Factory Team Blue Alum screw set.
AE pull start motor mount.
Robinson Racing Alum diff gear.
GPM front blue Alum bulk head.
GPM rear purple Alum bulk head.
GPM front & rear blue Alum bumpers.
GPM Alum blue gearbox support.
GPM front & rear blue Alum shock towers
AE brake and throttle linkage.

Hot Racing Blue Threaded racing shocks.
GPM blue Alum rear arm mounts.
J Concepts yellow ball cup ends.
GPM blue Alum front & rear A arms.

GPM blue Alum rear hub carriers.
GPM blue front C Hub.
GPM 6061 Alum knuckles
That's it for now. Still may need electronics. For sure I need a remote. And a OS .18 CVR X

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

WOW, you must be making it into a shelf queen using all of that aluminium huh? I like GPM's stuff, but I will never use aluminium shock towers or a-arms on a driver, because they ALWAYS bend.[&:] Should look awesome when you get it done!![8D] Probably going to cost you a fortune though!!!:)

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Nah she will be seeing lots of run time. I know the weight will be some what of an issue but I already have 2 speed demons. Highly modified Jato 3.3 and a 2 speed HPI RS4 2 which is pretty fast. In the 15 years I have been doing this I never attempted to add a little bling. Everything has always been for pure performance and speed. So this will be my BLING BABY. Lol.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Wow! thats a project but worth it I would shelve quin it as well I mean thats the blue chassis ain't it?

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

You boy's going to love this [8D]

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Wow classic. Love those videos man. Amazing how it has changed. Well my baby will see the road. Not off road just pavement. And I wont run it as much as my Jato but she will be run carefully though.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Those were some great old school videos!!! It looks like it must have been filmed in the mid 80's right when this car came out. I'm a big fan of vintage AE stuff, just look at my sig:), and that was really cool to watch. You should post those in the RC10 Goldpan thread in the Off Road Electics forum!;)

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Ok guys I was getting to ready to place an order for some of the basics for my RC10.

Its alot but its basic stuff. Here is the list.
Spring Kit.
One way bearing

Light weight alum blue screw kit
diff rebuild kit
Manifold Gasket
Exhaust manifold pull start
Trans mount

Slipper disk
RPM rear bulk head
RPM mini rear bumper
RPM receiver box blue

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Help please.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Check Tower, A-Main, and RC10.com. They may have most of the stuff. A lot of stuff from the GT plus and GT2 works on the original, but a lot doesn't too.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Thanks Barber I was able to find like 40% of the stuff on Towers and just placed an order. Just a little upset bcuz everything was like a dollar more compared to losipartshouse.com. A-Main doesn't have much. I'm gonna check out RC.com. Thanks alot.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

I was reading in some other site about rare RC10GT definitely the blue tub chassis is a rare one and so is red tube chassis.



question : What would you guy's do if you have to decide between a bran new Scorcher and part for yore GT?

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Well if you are rebuilding your GT i would stick with that. I had the money to get my dream truck. A Savage X 4.6. But i figured rebuilding my GT would be more fun for now. Plus I can get a Savage next year or get one used. This GT is going to be a 5 or 6 month project but I will post pics and details right here. Hey MMT GUNS you got a link to that web site with the info on the blue tub chassis and the red one. Hey by the way bro thanks for all your help.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

A red tub chassis?!!!!![&:] I've never seen or heard of one of those either! I'd be curious to see the production run numbers on the red and blue tub chassis' trucks. I wonder if they even made 1000 of each?

MMT Guns, if you are talking about getting an ORIGINAL Tamiya Sand Scorcher, I think they're coming out with reproduction models soon, I would definitely go with that over the GT part. Original Sand Scorchers go for BIG($1000's) money. I saw a NIB scorcher go for around $3500 on ebay several months ago!!!![X(] However, if you're debating between a re-release Scorcher or the GT I'd go with the GT.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Sure thing man here it is. This web site is prety cool >

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

I wish it was the original :( sadly is the new one, so you think is not worth it? isn't it the same thing or does it really changes a lot? shucks man this is a hard one to decide.

I thank God I still have time to make up my mined, thanks man.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Must have RC10GT parts? here it is.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

The sand scorcher would definitely be a fun RC to have, but I thought maybe you'd found some fool selling the OG version for cheap!:) If that'd been the case I'd have said go with the Scorcher for sure!!!!!! However, since it's the new one you're talking about, you could go either way, it just depends on what you want more. I'm guessing the new model Scorcher should be identical, or real close, to the old one. Tamiya usually doesn't change anything noticeable on the re-re models.
