G.O.A.T. - The 1998 Associated RC10GT Team Truck. Fine Print: The date of the kit states 1993 from the label seal and instruction manuals. However, the kit contains catalogs and literature dated 1998. The title post has been corrected to reflect this. This truck has been in the box for 23 years. I ...

Here you go.

Build it, paint it box art, put some Tamiya wheels and tires on it, run it once, then shelve it. I had one when I was 13 in 1989, it was super fun! A friend got an Avante as a Birthday present and was talking all kinds of smack of how he was going to drag my ass. By the time he gets it built and com...

Don't be torn about what to do with it. It's a nice truck.

Just do like me. I just bought another one on Ebay today. Like I really needed another project.

Got it all stripped apart, cleaned, and back together. - The chassis had actually been painted at some point. Luckily, they didn't know what they were doing, so the paint came off pretty easily with Citristrip. Several other parts also had orange over-spray on them, which also came off fairly easily...

I just finished buttoning up the chassis. Body will be coming soon. I guess I could say I was inspired by scr8p/jconcepts EGT build. I was never a huge fan of colorful builds. But I thought the white parts against the blue chassis actually looked pretty good. Usually you only see the blue chassis tr...

I love my XX Kinwald Trinity buggy so much I really wanted to build another. I'm planning to build this up into a high end runner with real performance potential, and modern electronics. I am also considering using some parts from the current 22 line, such as shocks. This is still up for debate thou...

Slowly putting project pink together.... if the Euro Composite chassis set wasn't rare enough it also has a WASP XL orange belt drivetrain and slipper, white SRM rear uprights to go with the white cold weather Yoke wishbones, Brimod (intermediate and long) shocks and MMS finned motor mount and nylon...

My final build weight is 1535 grams. Well below the ROAR Truck rules of 1700 gram minimum.

looks great, what 3d printer did you print the arms and bulkhead with? Thanks! They are printed in a 3D Systems Projet 2500 Plus. It is unfortunately not mine, I have access to it via a friends workplace. 8) I decided to make this one into a runner. I got some modern electronics for it, but still u...

I created that 2-page spread ad showing the truck in question. (Probably have a copy of it torn out of an issue in my legacy folder.) Unfortunately, I wasn't there for the shoot. I was given that photo, I scanned it, and added it to the artwork. I have no other photos of this that I can think of. Th...

Hi guys, I still have this truck. I'll post up some more pics for you. Let me know if this will work for you.

^ I totally agree with what you are saying Coelacanth. However even though I am building this as a very capable runner, I'm probably never actually going to, lol. Adding the CF piece was just to try something different and create an interesting build. I'm still unsure if I will keep it on. The front...

Still waiting on some parts and hardware. I wanted to try fitting some 22 series Gen 2 shocks. With a bunch of tweaks, they fit well. The fronts are a bit too long still, but they will be corrected shortly.
