That is awesome!

I miss my RC10GT dearly. The Nitro ST class needs to make a comeback :-(

Thanks. I just love gas truck and wanted a newer platform. This has grown to be way bigger than I ever dreamed. I am glad other people are able to enjoy gas truck again.

Casey, thank you for all the work you have done with this. Not just the chassis, but the hunting and searching for parts and accessories as well. You have done more than most people even realize. Thanks!

I've been following here and on FB. I would like to see 1/10 scale ST be popular again.

Did all the off-road shift to 1/8 scale because of durability?

I think 4 wheel drive was the driving force initially

I actually think durability had a lot to do with it. The tracks got bigger, jumps got bigger and the ST's of that time weren't as durable. Of course, not much is as durable as an 1/8 scale. I'm sure the power and 4wd played into as well. Then monster truck came along, which evolved into truggy and Nitro ST was done.

With the recent slide back to smaller tracks, Nitro ST could gain some ground again.
