We definitely need this class to make a comeback. Nitro racing is missing its "budget class" so to speak, because these trucks used to require only half the budget an 1/8 requires. I'm currently waiting on Ignites exhaust setup to come back in stock and then my 22 conversion is ready.
Totally agree! Allthough I do not consider this one to be "budget class" of you add the costs of the 3 items you get to a base price of 918 dollar, without required accessories to get it running, transmitter, nitro, shipping etc. It is a wonderfull vehicle though!
@@StefsEngineering Well, this particular vehicle wouldn't be a budget vehicle, but there is a cheaper way to get into the class. Problem is it requires giving money to Traxxas. But back in the day the JATO was competitive against the Associated GT2 and outclassed the original GT and the XXX-NT. Granted, that's partially because it and the GT2 were the only actually modern platforms in the class at the time, the original GT was ancient at that point and the XXX-NT wasn't much better. As for today, I'd argue it's still competitive, as modern-day 1/10th scale platforms have developed in a direction that makes them less suitable for the rough outdoor tracks that nitro models run on. Anyway, you'd have to treat it effectively as a roller since the stock equipment is a joke, but that still makes a race-prepped JATO 3.3 significantly cheaper than an Ignite conversion TLR or Associated.
So glad you love outdoor. I am getting my outdoor track going in northern California. Its just refreshing to see another one of your rc's with pin tires! Shout out to my outdoor drivers who are not scared of a little dust!
We have a handful of "gas trucks" still in my area... one local regularly races his in Mod Truck class, with a 4-stroke...that truck is the coolest ever...
I had one o the very first rc10gt that hit the shelf s from the ranch pit shop ! they didn't even have starter boxes yet we had to use a airplane starter with a big wheel on it!
I would love to see you bring back one of the original TLR xxxnt driver’s schemes! I still run a GT blue pan with Chad at Fastlane and love trying to hang with these kits. These are the cheapest and most competitive way to get into nitro and once winter comes around, pop the Electric kit back on and have a normal truck!
Ah yeah. Got my t6.1 ignite built awhile ago. Fantastic kit. Running a os 12tg. Freaking blast on the track. For the body think island hoppers van colors.
I just recently re-acquired my late 90's rc10gt racer. A-main race chasis, os max .12cv with the O'Donnell round head, knife edge crank, and con rod. Titan Tech rear brace. ron paris turbo ring pipe. T3 front arm conversion. pro-line slim f150 body. Mip ball bearing steering, cvd's, clutch, and front bumper. carbon shock towers, Tin shock shafts, lunsfords, 4.5 deg billet rear arm carrier's, billet rear bulkhead. all stuff that is pretty rare today apparently. I cant wait to get it running again.
OH HELL YEAAAA!!! I'm for sure getting this conversion!!! Ryan, obviously you have to do the paint scheme that was on the box of either the AD1 or AD2 XXX-NT kits, ya gotta man!!!
I concur w the Kinwald paint scheme. Was looking online today about the Dudgeon nitro conversions for the LXT before Team Losi started making their own kits. I wanted to do that to my LXT when I was in high school but my local track wasn’t quite running nitro truck yet.
Hey Ryan. I'm in the process of getting everything together to build this kit. So pumped! A few of us pushing for a class next outdoor season. Please tell me, which tires are you running here? Also, where's the on track vid?!!???! Thanks.
i totally agree here, this class or style/type RC really needs to come back to the market. It is by far the most fun, agile and last but not least it is the type of fast you don't expect from a stadium truck!
These kits are REALLY cool! Can't believe I haven't noticed til now! 1/10 Nitro stadium truck was my favorite class by a mile, and I'd LOVE to see it come back! Truck looks great, btw! I'm personally not digging the header design, but looks like a "rear exhaust" header for a XXX NT would fit perfect on that.
Nice build Ryan! I appreciate your hustle with the nitro stadium truck. Never fails, every couple of years someone tries to reinvent nitro stadium truck class. Maybe this time around it will stick.😎🤘🏼
Yup I used to run RC10Gt with a picco engine! Truck just screamed . It was the only nitro I ever race/ran. I was very young 12/13yrs old. Stopped pretty much due to lack of money. And I choose to continue with indoor clay track racing with my T2 and T3. SoCal raceway in Huntington Beach was the only track and racing going on in my area. Anyways I’ve always loved stadium trucks more than any buggy. I still run my T6 today and enjoy it more than my B6.3 nothing beats user friendly to me.
Give it a Adam drake ad2 paint job. Building my TLR 22/ ignite nitro truck as we speak. Get em ready. Aug 28-29 golden state championship, Camarillo Ca. Gas truck class.
Dude yes that’s awesome I want one so bad now chad parks is trying to get me to do it but it’s so expensive for one but they look so fun hope you like it
Hey, Ryan. I once owned an RC10GT RTR. It was a real hoot, once I upgraded it to race spec. A jumping fool. For color schemes, I used Autographics decals (remember them?) to create more scale appearing bodies. They looked great. But then, today's bodies are anything but scale. 1/10 scale gas truck as a racing class would be a tough sell, I think. Electric is too good these days. I like your channel. keep up the good work.
Great VT. As an out sider from the UK looking in, I have always liked the patriot thing, stars and stripes. You guys always rock at that. Would you want to cover it up though? I mean just look at it, really nice chassis.
i think if people start showing up with nitro trucks and they just throw them in with the electrics, it will spread and eventually there will be enough to make their own class. has the potential to grow if there is already a strong electric truck class showing
A great conversion kit (they also make one for the AE T6.1/2) with top notch components. However, with the cost of the Losi/AE kit AND the conversion, not a cheap option and fairly complex (not a criticism!). What I'm hoping is that this helps reboot this class and both Losi and AE come out with new nitro kits. As for the body, definitely a Kinwald inspired paint scheme 👍
I don't see any _current_ racing companies ever giving 1/10th scale nitro truck another try. The problem is that their team drivers would refuse to run the class, it's a 1/10th scale 2WD class that has to run on outdoor dirt tracks, and a lot of drivers these days see that as unacceptable for 1/10th scale, they insist on indoor sealed clay or carpet now where you can't run nitro. If we get a new purpose-built 1/10th scale nitro truck kit, it'd have to be either by an entirely new company (I could see Ignite coming out with their own down the road) or by one of the Japanese companies like Tamiya or Kyosho, since the Japanese market tends to be more friendly to "niche" classes.
As for paint, I would try a two tone blue scheme with a Sonic the Hedgehog style curving. Then maybe separate the blues with some pin striping. I ran that on my slash a couple times when I still had it.
interesting how this class is still a topic in the US. Even in the 90s and early 2000s when it was attracting huge entries in the US it never featured in Europe and to the day it is virtually unheard of by all but the die hard racers that follow US racing as well
Just bought a Team Losi xxx-nt in good condition on ebay. I have to have a nitro st in my collection. I wish losi would re-release the xxx-nt like they did the mini t.
It died because ROAR in their infinite wisdom dropped 1/10 gas truck from the Nationals to bring in 1/8 e classes. 1/10 gas truck is the most fun I’ve ever had with an rc car. Wish I still had my gt2.
You should copy the paint job from the "Blazer" stadium truck finish in the 3d ultra radio control racers game from 1999. You can see it in the first two images on google by looking up "3d ultra rc racers blazer"

A Brian Kinwald tribute would be sick.
yes
adam drake model would be cool too
I agree with a BK tribute.
he did not like nitro much she did not race it much he told me it was to much hassle

I keep watching this video because of how cool it is, I really wanna see this truck run!
I miss nitro stadium trucks. My old rc10gt was a racer and a bashed. Super simple to work on and was fun to drive
I think doing a Cliff Lett scheme with the cow print on the front would be interesting. great looking studio you got there.
Defiantly need to do a "Roost" paint scheme.
I neeeeeeeeed. More vids on this bro. It’s so new your the only hope
Box photo of the XXT CR. Those were the days!
A tribute scheme to the great innovator of our hobby. The dirtinator himself Mr. Brian Kinwald
So glad you love outdoor. I am getting my outdoor track going in northern California. Its just refreshing to see another one of your rc's with pin tires!
Shout out to my outdoor drivers who are not scared of a little dust!
A classic red white and blue would look amazing on a retro truck like that!
First comment! This class would be awesome to bring back!
Hello first comment
We have a handful of "gas trucks" still in my area... one local regularly races his in Mod Truck class, with a 4-stroke...that truck is the coolest ever...
Ivan Stewart’s Toyota Baja truck for the paint scheme.
this! :)
I was thinking the same scheme but couldn't remember the guys name.
My dad did that on his sct. Looks killer, did mine gulf livery style.
Always loved the black xxx-nt rtr scheme. It’s pretty simple yet slick looking.
I loved this class back in the day. I still have my RC10GT from almost 20 years ago.
I had one o the very first rc10gt that hit the shelf s from the ranch pit shop ! they didn't even have starter boxes yet we had to use a airplane starter with a big wheel on it!
bring the trucks again!! a hug from Brazil!
I just restored my RC10T🙌 but definitely a Roost paint scheme bro👌
I would love to see you bring back one of the original TLR xxxnt driver’s schemes! I still run a GT blue pan with Chad at Fastlane and love trying to hang with these kits.

I drove my old race xxxnt last week

Go old school with the drippy paint scheme! It will go well with the oily mess you'll end up with after a day of running!
OH HELL YEAAAA!!! I'm for sure getting this conversion!!! Ryan, obviously you have to do the paint scheme that was on the box of either the AD1 or AD2 XXX-NT kits, ya gotta man!!!
This truck is dialed. I built one my self last week.
You should paint it with the Roost scheme for the body. Good promo for you and it’s something different.
Thanks for the video, Ryan. Great to get an up close view of this truck.
Brian Kinwald style body would be sweet!
You should do an old losi Adam drake scheme!!!!
My shirts came in!! There are awesome!! Can't wait for more merch. Love what your doing bro! Keep it up!!
Thanks for grabbing some! Hope they help you go fast 😎
I concur w the Kinwald paint scheme. Was looking online today about the Dudgeon nitro conversions for the LXT before Team Losi started making their own kits. I wanted to do that to my LXT when I was in high school but my local track wasn’t quite running nitro truck yet.
Awesome. Nitro st is my fav. I was out of the hobby for years and sad to see them gone.
That looks awesome!! 👏 I need one 😂
The Losi LXT box art livery would look killer for that vintage look.
I have the Ignite rc10t6.2 love it!!
Especially since the 22t is a tough truck, this may be pretty fun! What really sucked about nitro truck was they were so fragile!
Wow! 1/10 scale nitro! That's cool
Hey Ryan. I'm in the process of getting everything together to build this kit. So pumped! A few of us pushing for a class next outdoor season. Please tell me, which tires are you running here? Also, where's the on track vid?!!???! Thanks.

I like the cigar humidor in the background. Would like see what your cigar of choice is!
Lately the Liga Privada No 9 is my go to!
These kits are REALLY cool! Can't believe I haven't noticed til now! 1/10 Nitro stadium truck was my favorite class by a mile, and I'd LOVE to see it come back! Truck looks great, btw!

Building my TLR 22/ ignite nitro truck as we speak.
Get em ready. Aug 28-29 golden state championship, Camarillo Ca. Gas truck class.
If that truck is anything like your 8xte it’ll be sick!
It will be nothing like a 8xte. For starters its nitro not electric and 2wd not 4wd. Also its 1/10 not 1/8. Theres alot of diffrences.
I’m so pumped this is so sick! I stare at my xxxnt Adam drake edition everyday and say man I miss that class
Ironman Stewart 90’s Toyota Baja truck for sure!
Yes there bringing back stadium truck time to get a nitro sport.
Dude yes that’s awesome I want one so bad now chad parks is trying to get me to do it but it’s so expensive for one but they look so fun hope you like it
Have you done anything more with this truck
I got one finally, have to make it ready for 1 week from now...
Ryan, is that a humidor with some cigars? 😀 didn't imagined you enjoy cigars. Great video, as always! Cheers mate!
Yes sir! Love me some good stogies 🤘
Original JRXT paint scheme, white, orange and red. Nostalgia baby!!
Hey, Ryan.
I once owned an RC10GT RTR. It was a real hoot, once I upgraded it to race spec.
A jumping fool.
For color schemes, I used Autographics decals (remember them?) to create more scale appearing bodies. They looked great.
But then, today's bodies are anything but scale.
1/10 scale gas truck as a racing class would be a tough sell, I think.
Electric is too good these days.
I like your channel. keep up the good work.
The old-school Losi From the XX &XX-T CR. You know back from the brushed motor days in the Novak gt7
That's pretty cool truck. Do the old Adam Drake paint back when he raced Stadium truck.
What a great piece of machinery!
Good one Ryan looks good buy the way i still have RC10 gt and xxxnt ... gas truck was a lot of fun to run .....!
I'm a big supporter of this class I have a xxxnt and a rc10gt I am always trying to bring it back but I would love to build one of these
I can't wait to see more of this truck!!! Just curious why you don't also race stadium trucks.
Hell Yeah! Bring Back Gas Truck!
My favorite and most simple gas truck was the duratrax evader. I miss it.....
Great VT. As an out sider from the UK looking in, I have always liked the patriot thing, stars and stripes. You guys always rock at that. Would you want to cover it up though? I mean just look at it, really nice chassis.
We need track footage. This car is soo cool.
I want Nitro Stadium trucks to come back i mean we have Jato 3.3 and Nitro Rustler thankfully but it be nice to see losi release one.
i think if people start showing up with nitro trucks and they just throw them in with the electrics, it will spread and eventually there will be enough to make their own class. has the potential to grow if there is already a strong electric truck class showing

Definitely have a checkered flag paint scheme in there
Been 6 month now,got it started yet?
Do you have video running this truck?
Omfg 🙀 yes!!!!!!! My absolute favorite class to run!!!!
Follow to see this car running and the class back.
Matt Frances paint scheme would be badass!!!
I would do the same paint job as your classic one but invert the colours
Very cool looking but a big investment...i might just get a nitro rustler and see what happens lol
I need that kit asap!!!
As for paint, I would try a two tone blue scheme with a Sonic the Hedgehog style curving. Then maybe separate the blues with some pin striping. I ran that on my slash a couple times when I still had it.
I think some small squares with some streaks shooting off the squares maybe some bubbles something to challenge yourself.
Go with the box art from the losi GTX. Losi's first nitro truck from back n the day
Very cool, not into nitro racing but that is one I would consider
I love this class as well, and similarly died off in the UK around the same time I believe :( Great looking conversion, thanks for the video :)
Kinwald tribute gets my vote.
A Brian Kinwald livery. But with rust patches here and there would be awesome!
interesting how this class is still a topic in the US. Even in the 90s and early 2000s when it was attracting huge entries in the US it never featured in Europe and to the day it is virtually unheard of by all but the die hard racers that follow US racing as well
Definitely do the nitro gtx or an old xx nitro truck box paint theme
Just bought a Team Losi xxx-nt in good condition on ebay. I have to have a nitro st in my collection. I wish losi would re-release the xxx-nt like they did the mini t.
I drug out my xxxnt2 adam drake because of this video... great class that i missed more than i thought. Great video ryan
XXX-Nt AD2 paint scheme would be cool. Would be cool if a conversion was out there to put the AD2 rear quick change axle's on the TLR 22T 4.0
The body looks like a tough fit
Your auto focus was going nuts in this video kinda distracting, otherwise GREAT VID!! this is super badass
Go with the OG nitro stadium truck king Adam Drake throw back or with the Kinwald
I have an original RC10GT team truck. I may have to get a T6.1 and do a conversion.
You could do kinwalds paint from his gas truck
Vintage JetSki look like with the pink and blue
It died because ROAR in their infinite wisdom dropped 1/10 gas truck from the Nationals to bring in 1/8 e classes. 1/10 gas truck is the most fun I’ve ever had with an rc car. Wish I still had my gt2.
YESSSS Vintage scheme!!
How about that early 90’s Cliff Lett and his cow look.
I just bought this kit. No track but I want to support the idea. However one question. Did your conversion kit include the engine mounts?
Do a 80s pink neon style. Just like you did with one of your vids. Full oldschool
I vote something Iconic like Martini Racing ,Renown Mazda 787, and Rothman livery
You should copy the paint job from the "Blazer" stadium truck finish in the 3d ultra radio control racers game from 1999. You can see it in the first two images on google by looking up "3d ultra rc racers blazer"
