Welp, in the GT world I would think it's the FOM... If you want the "latest and greatest" there it is.

There are MANY accomplished 1/10 drivers that would completely disagree with ponch... It not a FOM, its the real deal... The original rc10gt has been around for what , 13 years or so??? They took all that has been learned from that and have improved apon a world champion design...
I think that you you would do fine with an original rc10gt but if you can have the new version why not right!?!?!

+1 with Rocco. Pick up the latest XRC where they review the GT2. They say there is nothing wrong with the old GT, but there is so much more RIGHT with the GT2. If you have a tight budget, get an older GT, or a Losi XXX-NT. Either is great.

thats cool I really like the looks and feel of it. I had a evader but was told that this is leaps and bounds better. Also it helps that my hobbystore guy has one in stock and told me he'd do layaway with me. yea:joy:

being that I have never raced before.... what would I have to do to this truck out of the box to be competitive besides practice driving lol. Do these trucks need chassis upgrades or diffrent motors? I am sure the stock tires wouldn't cut it. I am completly clueless here so if you have any help it would be great. I think I am going to get it.

I'm not sure about this truck, but an upgraded radio and electronics never hurt. And like you said, tires.

Tires, quick servos, mabye a new motor but the stock one probably has enough to get around the track at a decent speed.

They're usally 1 590 and 1 270. The 590 is ok for throttle, the 270 isn't good for much at all imo.
