It's about time! :D

This platform seemed like a no-brainer for years...

This may finally get me to actually buy another Associated product again..

Might have to check this out when they hit production...maybe an FT kit to sit next to my ftsc10 thats still in the box :lol: .

I've been seeing alot of talk about 2wd nitro coming back in areas because of the 2wd sc classes sparking interest in the nitro guys again. Hope it comes back strong...

there are some of us that still drag our 1/10 nitro stadium trucks on occasion and have a class of them, it's a lot of fun, but I don't know that a "new" class would really take off. I think it's just another offering in the RC world.


I agree with Todd, a FT version would be nice to see. Unfortunately I think A.E. jumped the shark on the GT2 which it looks like that is based off of.

Statements like that scares a guy with about 6 or 8 Schumacher Nitro 10 stadium trucks, and sooooo many parts..... so stop it, okay?

Long live NITRO!!!! At least, until I fix up and sell all these hulks....

i dont htink ti is going to take off.... here is why.... people like the sc trucks, to get in and go race in a stock class with otehr new people to the hobby

a nitro, would be cool, but there are tuning issues, that new people dont deal with.....

and the pros, wont run a spec class


they would have been better of producing an 1/8th scale buggy, in electric or gas at that point.....

I think it will.. There are a lot of 1/8 scale guys that won't race electric... but this gives them an option at some of the smaller 1/10 tracks that have a more regular racing schedule. I also think it might breath some life into Gas Truck for a little while.
