About this product
Experience the legendary heritage of competitive nitro racing with this special edition tribute to one of the most iconic platforms in radio controlled history. The RC10GT “Richard Saxton Edition” 1/10 2WD off-road nitro truck kit celebrates decades of racing dominance, honouring both the machine that revolutionised the sport and Richard Saxton, “The King” of gas truck racing. Originally launched in 1993, the RC10GT redefined what was possible in RC hobby UK racing, and this meticulously crafted reissue brings that championship-winning DNA back to enthusiasts and collectors alike. Team Associated has engineered this kit with premium components and authentic details that reflect its storied legacy, making it as much a tribute to racing history as it is a high-performance competitor ready for serious driving.
At the core of this machine lies precision engineering that demands respect. The laser-etched aircraft aluminium tub chassis provides exceptional strength without unnecessary weight, whilst the Stealth ATC transmission delivers smooth power through optimised 2.6:1 gear reduction. Competition-proven suspension geometry featuring inline steering blocks, 30° caster blocks, and hard-anodised oil-filled shocks keeps this Team Associated RC car planted and responsive across varied terrain. The reversible bellcrank servo-saver system ensures precise steering control, whilst nickel-plated CVA drive shafts and high-performance rear disc brakes guarantee reliable stopping power when you need it most. Every component, from titanium turnbuckles to polished exhaust parts, reflects the meticulous attention to detail you’d expect from a platform that dominated RC racing for over a decade. This kit arrives complete with exclusive Richard Saxton Edition livery and decals, transforming it into a collector’s piece that captures the spirit of a true racing legend.
