You had to het it fast! Duratrax was discontinuing the kit because AE had the Gt comming out. I never had problem with grass getting in the chain drive. Just the chain breaking and stripping the diff. I made a steel diff sprocket and all sprockets and added a SS chain. I replaced the stock tank with a 75cc. Now I get 10 min run time. I run mine so hard I had to replace the complete clutch system. I wanted different gearing options and found pinion gears that worked with a little modifcation. I now have 13,14 and 15.
I have not seen many of these kits. On this site is about all I have seen. As for parts on the duratrax kits, yeah ebay, or for sale section here maybe. I think I might have a set of the upper decks for the chassis, but that is about it for spares. Let me know if I can help.
thanks again dhood for this truck and the new reanno chassis came out perfect. topped it off with a andys rc10t body. DSCN4741.jpg DSCN4742.jpg DSCN4743.jpg DSCN4744.jpg DSCN4745.jpg DSCN4746.jpg DSCN4747.jpg

Thanx. Kinda figured that but then in the long run why not just run a ribbed tire then is why it didn't add up with the voices in my head... 8)
Never one to leave well enough alone, Duratrax found a way to fuel the desires of early 90's gas truck racers.

Funny what some people remember that others don't, isn't it? A lot of aftermarket conversion parts were kinda crude back in the day compared to now. I've got some Duratrax chassis' that look like they were cut with a hand saw so, a janky chain drive...
A Blast from the Past! The Year 1993. Of course working in a hobby store it's got a few hop-ups added here and there. All the White Nylon was dyed yellow.

I tried the HPI pipe fits good so I order another.
I Found the body.
Came already painted (Andy's?) I just added decals back then.
Kind of butchered it, oh well those were the day's!
Does anyone have a template for the top deck / plate on the duratrax nitro rc10 kit ?
My truck has a piece of sheet metal that's been cut out and doesn't look pretty.
Also on these conversions, was everyone running stock rc10 T bodies ?...

Someone might have to confirm this is for a 10T and not an LXT because I can’t remember if they are different. If it’s what you need I can take it to work and copy it with a ruler next to it and you can scale it as needed. I don’t have a scanner or...
I'm currently restoring a RC10 Duratrax nitro truck conversion. Of course I'm missing a few parts and I was wondering if anyone has any photos of a complete conversion or copy of a manual for this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Does anyone know the source of the right outdrive for the transmission below? I'm attempting to rebuild a Losi LXT/Duratrax Gas Conversion truck. As can be seen in the photo, the outdrive is deformed, and will not hold the drive shaft in place. The...

Thanks for the help, you put me on the right track. The Losi LXT I was using was based on an Lxt conversion. This uses an older transmission design and the out drives don't work on the Duratrax. I found true LXT outdrives and they fit.
well since i had an extra duratrax chain dirve setup i thouigh this would be cool to build. chassis still needs to be drilled so the parts can be screwed down. waiting on some more parts to finish it up. DSCN4590.jpg DSCN4589.jpg DSCN4588.jpg

Crazy how time flies. I knew these pictures looked familiar, then saw I replied to this thread, I looked at the date of the thread. Wow I can’t believe how long ago some of this stuff was.
I need to work on mine, but my resto GT is on the bench now. Do y'all have a line on any parts for these, besides the bay?
