I have a RC10T in pieces on my bench is it cost effective to upgrade this truck to race against current models or just buy a newer model. Great site..

They still handle pretty well, the newer trucks just turn in a little better than the older trucks. Put it together for the VONATS but take it out to a few races and suprise the newer trucks. I ran a tub GT against a bunch of GT2's and gave them fits. If you're racing outdoors a 10T would be really competitive, on the new trend of clay blue groove indoor tracks you might not be able to keep as much corner speed as the newer ones. I'll try it out for you if you want :wink:

LOL......as I have been reading the posts I should start reading between the lines...it is true racer to racer help or somebody hoping I get my B/S/T status and sell.....Since I'm not going to make a living off of this I might as well race what i got maybe the buggy also.

On blue groove they're better than current trucks I think. The short wheelbase helps.

If the track has bugger all grip and is really rough the short wheelbase works against it and becomes very twitchy!

I know Brandon, I couldn't help but buy that truck, I got no excuses if I don't win now I'm not driving an old truck :) I got an old Bolink pan car out of Myron's pile of free stuff at thunder So I need to get that thing sorted out. I also got to drive Paul's X6 so now I have to buy a buggy to race too :? That thing was scary fast
