From the RC10B4 site...
Associated appears to have unveiled the long awaited follow up to the RC10GT at the RCX show. The new RC10GT2 appears to be completely new from the ground up incorporating many new features. These are the first detail photos that have shown up. More information will be posted once it becomes available.
“We tried to design a truck that had the same legendary handling of the Factory Team GT’s 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.

Quotes:
“The GT2 stays planted through the bumps. It also jumps awesome.” – Jared Tebo
