O.K. Sorry it's not going in the vibe. It's my new nitro engine for my RC10GT 1/10th scale stadium truck. It's a Fantom FR15. This little thing puts out around 1.3 horsepower at an amazing 42,000 RPM's!!! My truck should be around the 50 mph mark with right gearing, now! I'll get some video of it when the weather breaks!

Your's is tooo clean! J/K! Looks good! These thing are too much fun. Wait till you get that bad boy broke in and nail the throttle! Can't do the transplant of my muscle until this weekend. It's gonna be hard to keep the wheels on the ground! I also just picked up some new front a-arms by RPM racing. They look to be tanks! I hope so! I've busted 3 Associated ones already! It's bound to happen when your doing 20' long by 6' high jumps, though!Congrats on the ride! Welcome to the wonderful world and smell of nitro burning engines!

I have an RC10T2, its been great for the last few years. I got out of the hobby for a while (my dad broke my titanium dif halves) and when I got back into it a few days later I broke my charger. I have a lot of old stuff so I need to decide soon if I want to stay cheap and get a new charger so I can tinker with the truck I have, or get into nitro RC10GT or that big Traxes one looks good.I like the speed and maneuverability of mine.Jason

Thats huge!I'll check out one in person once my local hobby shop gets one. I like associated and that would be a good combo. An electric stadium truck and a huge .21 nitro monster truck!
