I just noticed that Jconcepts has released an RC10GT carbon rear tower, an odd choice for an obsolete truck. With the recent 10T reissue, it seems that tooling would be minimal to bring back the RC10GT as well (the iconic truck from my formative years). With the resurgence of gas ST conversion kits for Associated, Losi, and XRay, is the only limiting factor the lack of engine availability?

I wouldn't have guessed at even 1/2 of the stuff that was re-released. Given how iconic and well selling the truck was they have to be giving that some serious thought.
Thunder tiger still makes engines for planes it wouldn't be crazy.

Don't read too much into it. The tower has been around a while. A few months ago on FB, someone had asked Jason if there were plans to offer a rear GT tower. There really wasn't, but I reminded him there was already one drawn up from the Jconcepts EGT build/kit. So he just removed the center body mount and is now offering them.

That being said, I wouldn't put it past AE to offer a re-release.

I’ll take at least two please!

Probably be released before the graphite edition rere
