Re: RC10GT Rebuilds

Yeah, could be. Converting my two GT's to brushless electric cost a lot less than buying one new ST at today's prices. Original intent in buying the GT's off Ebay was to rebuild and run them as nitro. Trying to relive the early turn of the century racing, I guess. Dry hole. No 1/10 nitro ST anywhere near me, and they are too noisy to try to run in the backyard of a residential neighborhood. So, I did what I thought was the next best thing and converted 'em. Ended up with two mid-motor ST's and got to wondering how they'd stack up against a back-motor, so picked a RC10T3 roller off Ebay for comparison. Satisfied with what I got, but feel a bit guilty about denying a couple of nitros' to those out there that can still field them. Understand your frustration. Then JConcepts offering a really trick conversion kit to boot really dries up the market. They picked a winner to convert, though. Hope you can feel good about that. Cheers and best regards. AC
