My first RC, the one that got me into RC. I found it at a garage sale for 10 bucks, RTR too.

My Pro3. Got it off Spoolin (the drifter). Added the Novak system, pretty quick.

RS4 3. Got it in a trade with another Pro3 I had. Came as is with the hop ups and the engine.

NMT Racer, got it brand new while I was in Japan with a Wasp 12 SE. Engine turned out to be shit, truck's still going good.

Same truck, just converted to brushless. Just running a Novak SS5800 in the pic. It's going back to nitro (getting 12 or 18 CV-RX) then hopefully I'll get a new chassis and motor mount made up to back to electric again 12 cells this time, 18 for speed runs.

Team Associated GT that I used to own, sold it to a friend. He's selling it if anyone's interested.

How was the GT?

Any tips for a first time owner (i will be getting a new one soon)?

BTW - You have a nice collection of RC's!

Are you getting the blue chassis or the black tub?

The GT is a great truck, I got rid of it because a mate wanted it and I couldn't be bothered maintaining 2 trucks. There are a few hop ups that I thought was necessary. I can give you the list of stuff I had on my truck if you want. It should be fine without the stuff though but I just had it as extra protection.

One weak spot I found with the truck is the screws. I don't see why they used M thread(screws for metal) for plastics. Get some 3mm self tapping screws from HPI for the tranny. 4mm(I think) for the arm holders.

The truck should be sent off from Oregon, America on Monday.

Here's a cool picture of it with the previous owner driving it.

140USD + shipping to here which was 60USD(express including insurance).

Come to think of it, my speed controller costs more than the truck. !amazed
