Mr Terminator Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Your welcome fella and Hot Bodies stuff is cool,I know it's basically HPI but they look different and the graphics are cool.I've got a Lightning GTX2 and that's been discontinued but I can still get parts for it as a lot are the same as the Lightning buggies and I guess that'll be the case with the GT 10 with the Lightning 10 buggy,if that is the case your laughing... Good luck mate and go on buy it,you know you wanna... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin34 Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 These little trucks a proving to be almost imposible to get hold of.I can find the original GT10 but not the sport version.I know its basicaly the same but i want a pull start and not a roto.I prefer the black and red paint aswell.I have a brand new Hotbodies 26 in my room that i could drop in it if i ever find one in stock anywhere .

Matt B Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 You might have a bit of a challenge shoehorning one of them into a 1/10th chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lspowner Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 You might have a bit of a challenge shoehorning one of them into a 1/10th chassis i would definantly think so and doubt it would fit but worth a try. i can just imagine it on its back wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I have seen a vid of one fitted with a trx 3.3 and it was stupid fast .The reason i want a 1/10 as apposed to a 1/8 is because of the space i will have in the car after the Baja is in there.I have 9 nitro trucks and want the GT10 not because its a newbie truck but because i like the back to basic idea.A nice little 1/10th truck that i can whip out of the boot of the car and have a bash without the noise and size of my other trucks upsetting people.

wastegate Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) Another GT10 owner here. What a great little truck and fast as well! Anyone else find that the low speed needle setting is wrong in the manual? Looks like they have taken the 'flush' setting straight from the HPI manual for the rotary carb version as my LSN is 1 and 1/4 turns in from flush with the slide end and my HSN is 2 and 1/4 turns out. I look forward to some serious testing at the track Edited February 7, 2008 by wastegate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six2 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 i got 1 yesterday, i dont know what its like as im still trying to get it started for the first time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastegate Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I recorded the settings the engine came with and then changed them to the manuals settings and it would not start! I returned the settings to their original 'as supplied' settings and it started and ran perfectly. As I said above, I think the low speed needle setting in the manaul is wrong and has been taken from the rotary carb version. Try the HSN at 3 turns out and the LSN at 1 and 1/4 turns in from flush with the slide end for break-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six2 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 well i got it started the other day, put 5 tanks through it, tuned it and i must say after all the crap of getting it started it was worth it, its bloody quick, leaves my stadium 10 standing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six2 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 just watched the video of it again, is there somthing hot bodies are not telling us, in the video it has a cut out in the windscreen, see for ya self http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy-gStxLku8 mine dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastegate Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 It's probably due to their hotter climate. I did some temperature tests and the max mine got to was 220 deg F which is fine although it is cold out at the moment which helps. Come the summer I may have to make a hole in the windscreen for additional cooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I would definitely do it. Plus you can re-fill the fuel tank through the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastegate Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Anyone know what other bodies will fit the GT10 as the stock one is really weak? I thought about the HPI MT2 bodies but I'm not sure about length and body post position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
