Yeah I know how that goes, I went to the ROAR Mod Nationals in 98(in Chicago) and OH MY GOD, the money those guys blew in a a day was ridiculus..Every run was with a new set of tires(they cut the old ones up)..The batteries and motors those guys were running was insane. I did pretty good for a non-sponswered driver placing 62nd in Mod Truck. I was on the brink of getting sponswered but I got out of it due to school.. Now I have bigger more expensive toys...
I would really like to get rid of the GT though, it's an awesome truck, totally bombproof with over 7 years of developement time into it..Yeah, I got it the first year that the GT's came out in 93-94. The OS engine has alittle porting done to it..
I've got parts on it you can't get anymore(HG Aluminum tranny case, Thorp thrust washers), Boca Ultra ABEC 7(the good ones) bearings(Teflon Sealed) throughout. New(unpainted) Pro-line F-150 body for it.. It's about as good as a GT can get..
If anyone's interested Email for cost/details..
