Team Associated first introduced the RC10GT gas truck in 1993 and it has won every ROAR National Gas Truck Championship since the creation of the class. That’s why they say "you still can’t beat a GT!" The overwhelming success and popularity of the original GT makes for a very hard act to follow. Even the original GT’s unprecedented performance and win record can’t stop the progression of time. The Area 51 designers have done it again by bringing you the all-new Factory Team GT2. The GT2 is the result of everything that the engineers and drivers at Team Associated have learned over the last thirteen years since racing the original GT. The new Factory Team GT2 comes with many new design features, making for a higher level of performance, better durability, and all in all, a package that is easier to maintain. "The GT2 truck has so much punch! I’ll never have to worry about getting over difficult obstacles again." —Richard Saxton "The GT2 stays planted through the bumps. It also jumps awesome." —Jared Tebo "We tried to design a truck that had the same legendary handling of the Factory Team GT’s used by Tebo, Cavalieri, Maifield, James, and Saxton, but with no modification needed out of the box. We also wanted to make it more durable, easier to work on, and incorporate tons of new features!" —Kurt Wenger, senior engineer, Associated R&D
We included many exciting new features on the Factory Team GT2, one of them being Team Associated’s new Posi-Lock quick-change rear wheel system. The Posi-Lock quick-change has a five-lug self-aligning design that allows for the fastest possible pit stops without having to worry about lining up the wheel onto a hex or drive pin. The Posi-Lock quick-change system is lightweight for reduced unsprung weight and rotating mass for faster acceleration and a more responsive suspension.
The Factory Team GT2 offers more punch and durability due to the all-new 4.09:1 ratio transmission. Power enters the gearbox through a more efficient dual-disc slipper clutch that lays the power down and helps save the drive-train during hard landings. The GT2’s new 2-shoe clutch is adjustable with optional springs that will transfer the power down to the ground in all track conditions. The GT2’s large diameter clutch fits SG type crankshafts and includes larger, more reliable heavy-duty ball bearings. A free-floating disc brake on the top shaft insures smooth, fade-free brakes during long A-mains. The drag brake is conveniently adjusted by turning the included thumb wheel. The GT2 chassis is composed of a hard-anodized 6061 aluminum chassis plate with a molded front kick-up and a modular radio tray. The "dual-deck" layout provides the optimum front-to-rear chassis stiffness, allowing the race-proven suspension to keep the GT2 hooked up. The GT2’s radio tray features a sealed receiver box to protect electronics from fuel splashes and is easily removed for quick clean up. The newly designed fuel tank has a large lever for easy access and the quickest fuel stops. Floating fuel tank mounts reduce vibration and minimize the shock from hard landings. The GT2 also sports a sealed battery box, which keeps the receiver battery safe and secure. All new suspension geometry makes the GT2 the best-handling gas truck ever. The new suspension components are optimized for maximum durability and long-lasting performance. The front and rear suspension mounts interlock to the chassis to keep the suspension geometry consistent and durable. Rebuildable CVA drive shafts, full ball bearings, molded front and rear shock towers, and a ball bearing dual bell-crank steering system with adjustable servo saver complete the package.
Features:
Safe and Secure The GT2 has a sealed battery box which keeps the receiver battery safe and secure.

The Team Associated .12 and .15 pull start engines are ABC engines, having an Aluminum piston with a Brass sleeve, Chrome plated. They have TRUE 90° porting. If you've ever looked into the exhaust ports of some other engines, you've noticed that the exhaust port in the sleeve is not lined up with the exhaust port in the crankcase. It's cheaper to manufacture that way, but it also cuts down on horsepower. In Associated's engine's exhaust port, the sleeve lines up perfectly with the exhaust port in the crankcase. The 90° porting enables the intake ports to be correctly aligned for better air flow, too. All this means more horsepower to you.
Associated's Engine Replacement Policy means you (as the original owner of any size AE engine) will be able to replace your old, worn-out engine for a new one for only half the manufacturer's suggested retail cost! This policy replaces like for like--.12 for a .12, for example, not .12 to .15. No upgrades.
—If you have a GT RTR, which has our #2916 AE engine, you'll need our #29006 SG crankshaft to adapt the engine to use on the GT2.
—If you have a threaded crankshaft engine in your GT kit, you'll need the #2312 NTC3 clutch nut to use your engine in a GT2.
—You can use whatever side exhaust style manifold and muffler combination you ran on your old GT, as long as the muffler has a mount on the tip that is compatible with the muffler mount wire on the GT2.
—If your GT motor is side exhaust, it can be used in the GT2 with the proper accompanying hardware (#2312 clutch nut and AE side exhaust manifold: #7735 pullstart or #7736 non-pullstart).
—If your current muffler does not have a mount on it, then you should use the FT blue muffler with the mount on it that comes with the FT GT2.
—SG crankshaft. —Recommended for on road cars, like Associated's Nitro TC3. Also fits the GT2. —Side exhaust. —90-degree ported. —ABC construction. —Engine Replacement Policy.
If you want to turn this AE pullstart engine into a non-pullstart engine, use our backplate #29034.
—SG crankshaft. —Recommended for the GT2 and 1:10 touring cars such Associated's Nitro TC3. —90-degree ported. —ABC construction. Aluminum piston and chrome-plated brass sleeve for greater durability. Machined 7075 aluminum rod for outstanding strength. —Side exhaust. —Air filter with rubber boot and dual-stage foam air filter elements included for maximum engine protection. —Engine Replacement Policy.
If you want to this your AE pullstart engine into a non-pullstart engine, use our backplate #29034.

No other nitro-powered R/C truck in the world can match the winning record of the RC10GT. Three consecutive NORRCA Truck World Cup wins and over eight National Championships make the GT the winningest nitro truck ever.
The GT Team kit includes an all-new heavy-duty alloy chassis that virtually eliminates chassis flex problems, hard anodized PTFE-coated shocks, MIP CVDs and sealed ball bearings, including ball bearings for the clutch. We have kit versions for both pull start and non pull start engines. The clutch is tunable so you can adjust it to different conditions or tracks, as is the GT's fully adjustable caster, camber, shock position, and wheelbase. Of course, our constant-pressure, quick-fill fuel tank, and single disk brake are also part of this racer's dream kit.

Introduction The Factory Team RC10GT Kit has numerous high-performance parts to enhance the kit's performance. Aluminum parts have the advantage over steel for its lighter weight. Racers prefer it over plastic for its more lasting strength. Racers appreciate the structural rigidity of graphite for its responsiveness. Since it does not flex as much as composite materials, the buggy will handle more quickly and accurately. Titanium turnbuckles add strength to where it is needed, and is lighter in weight than steel. Throughout it all is the Factory Blue cool look to make your kit look good on the track and off! Graphite Parts
