My friend Jason had a T-Maxx with over 2.5 grand put into it. He had full carbon body, titanium everything else, and some huge motor. He also had billet wheels and a bunch of other awesome stuff. He only started it once, it was the fastest RC car Ive ever seen. It gave his 4-tec a run for its money.

They get really hard to start/tune when you port them. Its really easy and can be done yourself though. My friend has a T-Max and its alright except it takes forever to get it jetted right and we have to jet it every single time we run it. His is a lil fast, he bought a .21 so it has good acceleration, I just cant keep it in a straight line. His dad let me run his little buggy, it ran like heck and couldnt turn because it was almost always in a wheelie. Id rather propel my own but that a lil toy car though.

Nebody have one that they wouldn't mind selling. I would prolly want an offroad one. It can't be too expensive though. under at least 250$, if that's possible. Thanx!

Hey guys, I have an Associated RC10GT RTR. I was amazed with the power in that little engine. I've had a bunch of electric ones but nitro is awesome. Only problem I found is keeping em running. Very touchy to me. Plus I think my engine is shot. Its takes forever to start up and its set to factory carb settings. Blaster, the GT RTR that I have sells for about 310 with every thing you need except the gas, this is through tower hobbies.

I got some nice blue seal ball bearings. Do you have any trouble with your engine? I think I'm gonna do the trade-in policy and get a new one. The threads going from the head to the case are stripped and I think thats part of the problem. I'm spewing fuel out.
