Intro: GT2 Truck"The GT2 truck has so much punch! I’ll never have to worry about getting over difficult obstacles again." — Richard Saxton "We tried to design a truck that had the same legendary handling of the Factory Team GTs 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 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.
Features: GT2 Factory TeamWe 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. "The GT2 stays planted through the bumps. It also jumps awesome." — Jared Tebo 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:
