It seems to have been awhile since something like this was posted so I thought I would share a project I picked up off Ebay. I read all of the old threads on the internet, along with watching the YouTube vids and could not resist.

The original truck came pretty much complete sans a body. The motor was a never ran "ported" .21 Novarossi P5X, that judging from the last tank I put through it would be a serious hot rod, but it was a bump start and the New Era conversion kit was designed for a pull start. I picked up an AE .28 with Roto Start as a replacement and life is much easier. I did put the batteries up front, as done before, to help keep the front end down. What is cool is when this thing launches the whole chassis just kind of lifts up like a drag boat lifts out of the water on take off.

I just picked up the larger Traxxas tank tank and an air filter from an RC8 that tucks in nicely between the motor and the shock tower. I also have a set of metal gears coming for the tranny as I already fried the stock diff gear. I have many more upgrades in the works along the lines of strengthening the whole set up along with 8th scale buggy or truggy wheels.

There really isn't much use for this other than just a fun project. If have three other RC10GT's, two with .15's and one with an .18. This is definately different.

More to come.
