well, i have a race ready nitro rustler ich does very well, but nowi want something new. im debating between
rc10gt
xxx-nt
xxx-nt 2
im skeptical on the rc10gt and xxx-nt because they are old trucks. i hope parts availability would be good. what do you guys think. i would liek it for racing and jumpign around the house. right now i love the look of a losi. from what i hear, what i want to do with ti a rc10gt would be better.

I say the XXXNT RTRII if you want an RTR stadium truck.

i was lookgin around for the new rrc10gt i was hering about. does anyone have al ink to one cause i cant find it. does it have the same parts as the old one. i know the rusty is old, but i see all this new technology on a revo and jato and i dont wanan get left behind in the dust. so i wanted something that actually be worth my mone yand not traxxas. i am intrested in rc10gts newer model if nayoen can point it out. i realy like the xxx-nts and the only concern i have is a durability issue.

at a club level, you could race a Tower ST-15 and win, assuming you have the skills. any of the trucks now would be competitive with a little work, but the GT and XXXNT are by no stretch of the imagination "old" trucks...the only newer design out is the Jato.

the weakness of the xxxnt's and rc10gt's is there tendency to break at the track, whenever I go to the track and drive with rc10gt's and xxxnt' they are always breaking arms/etc. off the triples. The biggest advantage for me is that my Jato hardly ever breaks.

If you are going to get a Jato.. don't. Sure it goes 55, or so Traxxas says, but you're NOT going to reach 55 on a track, big or small. Only buy a Jato if you either like drag racing, and have a long straight to get to top speed in, or if you like doing high speed passes. IMO, the XXX-NT RTR2 is your best bet.



That's what I'd get.
