I recently purchased a used RC10GT with an OS .18 CVR. The truck is a bit rougher looking than the pictures let on, but that's not an issue (and I like wrenching on these things anyway!)
It didn't come with a manual, so I downloaded one of TA's site. Looking at some of the other links on their site, they refer to one as a "tub chassis" and, having searched this forum on GT's, it seems there are some differences between the different "years", for lack of a better term, of this truck. The one immediate pain point is finding matching rims for this guy! The rear axles taper just as they get to the hub carrier, so the set I just purchased fit great up front, but the axles holes don't account for the taper. I can still take them back, but the LHS' selection of rims is weak to begin with, so I'm not hopeful of finding them there.
Anyhow, some questions for owners of this thing:
1. Is there a way to determine what "year" GT I own?
2. Are there enclosed battery and RX boxes that can bolt right on?
3. Is there a difference between the shiny and black MIP CVD's for the GT (or in general, for that matter)?
4. I have heard of alternate servo-saver set-ups for this, but no one (at LHS) can give me specifics. Anyone aware of alternate solutions here?
EDIT: HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF IT:
ALSO, HERE ARE A FEW SHOTS OF THE REAR "BONES", ARE THESE MIP CVD'S?
I'M THINKING THIS IS AN OLDER MODEL RC10GT. I KNOW THE REAR AXELS ARE 1/4". PLEASE SHARE ANY ADDITIONAL INSIGHTS OR ADVICE! I APPRECIATE IT!
I suppose that's all I have for the time being. I'll edit this if any more come to mind to avoid posting repetitive threads.
Thanks in advance for the assist! It is appreciated!
