The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: A Nitro Racing Legend Returns! If you remember the smell of nitro and the sound of screaming 2-stroke engines dominating the dirt tracks in the 90s, this kit will bring it all back. Originally released in 1993, the RC10GT revolutionized stadium truck racing by introducing nitro power to the competitive scene. The Hobby Hideaway Team is thrilled about this exclusive Gold Edition re-release because it faithfully captures the spirit and engineering of the undefeated ROAR National Champion. Whether you are reliving your glory days or building your very first vintage gas truck, this kit delivers an unforgettable, authentic RC racing experience.
Golden Era Engineering Team Associated didn't just re-release a truck; they brought back a masterpiece. The foundation is the legendary deep-drawn aircraft alloy monocoque tub chassis, beautifully anodized in gold and laser-etched with the RC10GT logo. It transfers power to the dirt via the proven Stealth ATC gearbox with a 2.6:1 reduction ratio specifically tailored for nitro engines. Paired with a powerful rear disc brake system, an adjustable slipper clutch, and gold-anodized oil-filled shocks, this truck is built to handle the rigorous demands of gas racing while looking like a million bucks on the pit table.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because this kit requires a non-pull start .12 or .15 nitro engine, you will be using a starter box to fire it up. When aligning your chassis on the starter box for the first time, take your time! Make sure the starter wheel makes perfect, solid contact with the engine's flywheel through the chassis slot before you lock in your alignment pegs. Also, remember that those original-release white plastic suspension parts are dyeable—grab some RC-safe dye and customize your plastics before assembly to give your GT a truly one-of-a-kind look!
