RC10GT vs. Losi GTX vs. Kyosho Nitro Pro

All 3 trucks are quality products and are very competitive, but totally different.

I would say the RC10GT is the best handling of the 3 trucks. It has great straight line ability, the truck almost drives itself. The kit is harder to put together than the other 2, but the directions are very detailed. I'm not crazy about the disk brake, it works fine for a while, but on long runs tends to fade bad. The other 2 trucks have drum brakes, while not as flashy, I think they perform better.

The hop-ups that are available for the RC10GT are immeasurable. My GT has more titanium than Robo-Cop. I highly recommend the 4-N-1 clutch by MIP.

The Losi GTX is the easiest of the trucks to work on. I would say this is it's dominating factor. Being able to quickly repair your truck, especially in a race situation or between heats, is a major plus. The GTX corners better than the RC10GT, but not as good as the Nitro Pro ST, it can be kind of squirrelly in the straight away. The rubber header that comes with the kit is kind of cheap, I suggest replacing it with the Associated low sweep header. Another downfall is it's ugly body shape, but there are after market bodies for it.

The Kyosho Nitro Pro ST is a beautiful truck. Mine is still in it's building stages, but the quality is very good. The kit even comes with ball bearing steering (that's an after market product on the other 2 trucks). I have had a chance to drive one and I must say the steering is awesome. To me, for a guy who likes lots of steering, I would say that's it's best feature. The new 32-pitch spur and pinion and aluminum shock towers make it much more durable than it's predecessor the Outlaw Rampage Pro.

Overall, all 3 trucks are of utmost quality and you must choose the one that suits your particular driving style. All 3 would make a great addition to your 1/10th scale gas stadium truck collection.
