I have two old rc10t's. I've had them since they where new. I "refurbished" them for my kids to use. One has a novak ss w/4300 and the other has a novak ss+ w/5800. The white nylon parts don't hold up well to age. RC10GT arms and hubs fit it so you'll be good for awhile. The tranny has no problems with lots of power. The trucks are so light they just loose traction.
