mmmm Love the GT's..... Bump this old thread up for the love of GT's

I have 2 FT GT's and 2 black tubs One Tub GT has a ton of new parts including chassis and nose, but I have yet to start the assembly.

Heres one of the GT's I have. Soon to be sold as a Deuce will be my new race rig for gas truck.

I think the Losi hardware is fine, but people not tapping the holes and using the crap allen wrenches is the real problem. Ive built many Losi kits (pre HH buyout)w/o a hitch. Now who knows of thier quality. Yes it was a big failure at spec racing. I did like the blue tires though. BTW would you eve...

Got to love the checkpoint motors, but Im more of a new in package kind of guy. Heres one of my Checkpoints.

Heres a perfect pack for a vintage ride.

WOW that thing is at 4 bills allready. Damn its only a CE thats been screwed with and opened and its at 4 bills.... Guess the CE's are coming up in value. Crazyness.

Im in. I think Im the eastern most person here. I got a good backdrop in mind that might be cool.

[rant] Ya know Ive dealt with TT before with the EK4, and they straight up suck for any type of after the sale support. They never stay on top of parts availability, nor do they care about the customer. I know associated was somewhat connected with TT for a bit, but why did a stand up company sell o...

Here are more crappy pics of the build up. Its done finally after 4 years of saying it was going to get built. Now its time for some era correct electronics, a le mans motor, and paint up the body. I was lucky to snag this kit NIB for a measily $65. Yeah not a total steal, but I like the price.

Not much to look at yet! Heres the Gearbox done.

Thanks Jeep. Im doing alright with what I have. PDF would have been sweet, but scanning isnt fun so no worries. I just finished the gearbox/motor mount setup. Its going pretty good. A question for you Jeep, did your kit come with universals or dog bones? My kit came with bones, so Im going to have t...

I got a question for you guys that build shelf queens. Do you fill the shocks with fluid when you build em? I was, but now Ive been leaving them dry just so they dont leak, but I run the risk of the seals drying out. Either way I guess Im at a loss, but Ide rather not have shock oil leaking out on m...

Ferretti, Youre the best! So hard finding info on the triumph. YAY now I can get to building.

For the Kyosho Triumph out there or what. There is so little available for this buggy its like it was released for a year then pulled. Im actually looking for a manual to build mine up, but Im falling very short in my findings. Im not finding much info at all on this buggy. I did pm Darryn a little ...

Wow I just read this and man I feel like I just got raped. Damn Sho You got quite the collection!

Either way(USPS or Fed Ex) you will have to fill out a customs form with the address again. I usually write it exactly as I get it from Paypal. I never know if I do it the correct way or not, but they do end up getting it. International shipping stresses me out with the crazy addresses and me not kn...
