Team Associated RC10GT - Engine Included Kits - Radio Controlled Model

   Originally released by Team Associated in 1993, five kit forms were commonly available without an engine, but over the seven years the black tub chassis RC10GT was in production for just a number of special limited edition kits "with engine included" were introduced. Now considered rare, listed below you will find all those kits we have discovered in our research thus far, and if and when others are found, they will be added.

   Please note: To confuse matters, some of the kit numbers listed were for some reason later used for model parts. To verify our findings, any images of the kit box details that we found are shown below.

   For the 1993 RC10GT "without engine" kits, check out our "RC10GT Tub Chassis" page.

   To race the Team Associated RC10GT, it requires time and patience, to tune and adjust for improvements in handling and steering ability and to get the grip you need to stay on course when manoeuvring around tight, slippery corners. A little can be a lot when it comes to changing your cars settings and our easy methodical directions will guide you to the best Set-up to help you win and keep you winning.

Choosing a Transmitter

   When you first started in RC, you may have purchased a package that came with the car kit, motor, battery, charger, ESC and radio system complete. The transmitter was probably just a basic steer wheel, or stick type, with nothing more than forward, reverse, left, right and simple trim settings to centralise the servo and ESC.

   After a while, as your enthusiasm grows and your experience increases, you will want to move on to a better radio system, with more setting options, but where do you begin?

   Choosing the right transmitter is a personal thing. It has to feel right, have the balance you like, not be too bulky for your hand size and have all the features you might need to set up your car to your driving style.

Preparing your New Nitro Engine

1/   New RC Gas Engines need running or "breaking" in before being used competitively. 2 or 3 tanks of fuel are usually enough, but don't over rev the engine and try to keep it cool, below 160 degrees F (71 degrees C)

2/   To maximise your RC Gas engines power reduce air leaks as much as possible by using silicone sealant or high temperature gaskets where the carburettor and the exhaust manifold joins the engine block.

3/   As a rule, try to keep your engine temperature at around 210 F (99 C) and no higher than 225 degrees F (107 degrees C). If your engine temperature is higher than 225 F (107 C) try tweaking the mixture a little richer. If too cool (below 200 degrees F (93 degrees C)) tweak the mixture a little leaner.
