Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Last year I rebuilt my RC10GT as some of you know (project 506) now I'm thinking of redoing my GT again but with better parts, the original engine is going to stay not planing of getting no other engine for it as long as I have it or at least no other than the .15 Thunder Tiger. Well I wanted to make this thread so like me people could share some Hints and Tips about our rides, for example I want to make my GT as close to a Baja 500 as possible now for that I need to know several stuff like witch Piggy Back shocks will fit the GT?, How can I put thinner rims in front of my GT and where can I get them.

If you have any upcoming project of your GT and whant to share your knowledge with us please do so.

This is why I whant to redo my GT again, look what I found if you love these Baja Bug style check what Pro Line got for us.The Baja Bug is back with the same style, quality, and features as it had the first time around and is now officially licensed by Volkswagen®.

They look like they may fit but I have never used them personally. I have heard that they leak but then I have sean others on here that have had good results with them. You may also want to check out this link http://www.hobbyetc.com/cgi-bin/cata..._id=22&man=all

( New RPM wheels for the GT ) this makes a nice combo with the baja body but hard to choose witch one [:o] I like black but they don't have it for associated cars [>:]

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

i run the integy msr9 shocks on my gt2 and t4's they're nice shocks and they are as smooth as silk, no better than the FT shocks but they do have the resevoir's[img][/img] tho .. mine are on they're second season and they're still go to go

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Yeah!! thats what I need, I want to make my GT more realistic looking and those fit ha ha thanks for the photo man. Check out what I did today till my shock gets here, I'm doing this more for the realism than the performance. check it out.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

[. [&o]&o]Wow I like that shock set up. Super sweet. Do you know of any beed lock wheels that will fit the RC10GT? I might start restoring mines I recently sold the Black tub chassis GT and an RS4 2. im keeping the Blue Tub Chassis to restore it but know im torn. I have enough money now to buy a Savage x which I have wanted for some time now but I really want to start working on my GT. Lol dont know what to do

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Oh MMTGUNS i would go with the black ones. I know you said they wont fit the GT but Jato 2.8 inch wheels are not supposed to fit the GT either and I made work. Check out my profile and you will see a few pics of it.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

heyya guys!! if ya use the front wheel bearing adapter's from the hpi super star universal wheels the jato wheels will fit. and for the rear use the hpi rear wheel adapter's/ hex drives!!

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

here is a few pix of my original GT, well its still a black tub anyway....LOL

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

I still have the original RC10GT black tub chassis too! They're gettin' to be pretty rare nowadays. I think everyone ran the snot out of 'em long ago!:) It's still a great truck though, I've managed to keep mine in like new condition.;)

Quietnas1, why did you sell the black tub chassis GT and keep the blue chassis? The black tub chassis version is a LOT more rare than the blue.[&:]

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

you get that new 12 broke in yet ?

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

I kept the Blue TUB chassis which I have never seen. Its not the Blue open chassis. I think Im gonna start rebuilding it and keep the Savage on hold till Christmas. I really want the savage but I also really want to rebuild the RC10GT in all aluminum. I will start ordering parts tomorrow.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Thanks for your comment, yeah about the beed lock wheels I'm searching hard once I get to them I'll let you know, about your classics RC10GT man! what can I say, don't let go of that blue one seriously that thing is super rare. I think your doing a wise decision on rebuilding that GT I know cuz I'm doing the same with mine like I said my goal is a Baja 500 and it will be done.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Uff! thanks again budd. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Do you have any pics of them adaptors? thanks in advance

Damn those shock looks awesome on the GT.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Hey guy's today I toque the GT for a spin and Holy Shhhh!! on off-road is awesome but on hard pavement is tricky on the curves, shucks even some jumps and like nothing happen, I like that crazy thing I put together ha ha I'll keep in touch and let you guy's know how the soon project will come out. cheers.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

workin on it ... that thing is TIGHT ... got 1000cc thru it so far and its still runnin a bit warm but getting better ... its way faster than the os cv18, cant wait for it to stabilize on the temp so i can tune it out ... its already a rocket

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

Wow that's nice. Man I love these classic cars.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

thanks man .... she's my dirt oval baby!

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

I'm gonna give this a try. The first time I put the 2.8 Jato wheels on my old GT I went to Boca Bearings for the front wheels. They are about a half hour from me but they were able to find some bearings that fit nice and snug. For the rear wheels I had used Traxxas adapters. Whish I still had it but I sold it to ilanstylz another member here. He is taking good care of it and now I'm ready to restore the one I have now. Hey MMTGUNS great thread man.

RE: Lets Talk RC10GT
 

A blue tub chassis GT!?[&:][X(] I've never seen one of those, and I'm pretty knowledgeable about AE stuff!![X(] That must be REAL, REAL RARE!!!! You got any pics of it? I'd like to see it.:D Is it just like the black tub chassis GT, but blue?
