this makes me incredibly happy to see. I’ve been involved with nitro on and off(but on again for almost two years) since 2003 and it was a shame to see the class die out. While I only had a Traxxas nitro sport as my first rc, I spent my fair share of time oogling team associated rc10gt2’s. So cool that someone developed a conversion kit, hope they sell every single one of them!
I'm hopeful this helps kick off the revival of the class. I won't be jumping on just yet because I just can't spend almost $700 on just a chassis (donor+conversion) before electronics, tires, engine..
I'll hop in once there are full chassis kits around the $350 where there is full parts support that isn't Traxxas. If only TLR would step up and release a 22NT..

I got my start in the hobby with a Nitro Sport SE as well, ran it for years and finally selling it to a friend after I swapped in an OS 18CVRX making it a bashing king, put a few gallons in it that way. We didn't have any racing around us so I never bothered to get a nicer 2wd st, although I always wanted to do it with a Losi AD2 truck.

Whats really silly is unless ae/ttr or losi/horizon sold the molds they would even have most of whats needed besides chassis and topshaft with minor retooling to fit the more modern front and rear ends. Id love to run gas truck truck again but its gotta be much cheaper than 1/8th or whats the point. Part of what killed the class was $250 motors and quick change rear tires. When the engines were 100 and a set of tires would last a weekend is when the class was the biggest because it was the cheapest way to race offroad and stand a chance to be competative . Once that changed the class died, MT racing was the final nail in the coffin.

BTW... they are actually $100-$200 .12 engines out there.. Novarossi and SH .... a decent engine is all what you need ... its all about the clutch setup.

Will the conversion kit fit on the RC10B6.1/RC10SC6.1 or just the RC10T series only?

I would love to see it take off but it doesn't really matter to me anyway. I bought one because I liked the class back in the day and the truck looks bad ass! But the only concern I have is engine. What are guys going to run? Does anyone make a rotary carb .12 these days? or can I fit one on to a .12 TC engine?
