Well.yeah some are gaz but they are so much more expensive like the hpi baja 5.yes monster tip over more easely, but you won't spend all day flipping your truck, it ain't that bad;) -no stadium truck and truggy are not alike. A stadium truck is like a duratrax evader, truggy is like a ofna mutilator. Truggy is ( oh my, here we go again lol) its.let's say a monster truck with a stadium truck stance build on a buggy chassis ( its not clear for anyone&:). i like 2wd better because they are more 'technical' to drive, they can be desert, stadium, electric buggy. Ok so here what i think, first nitro and you gonna bash? Go with monster truck, easier to work on, stronger, can be run at most place.

• Truggy/short Course Simulator For Mac

Witch one choose now. The two 'king' of monster are the traxxas revo and the HPI savage. The savage is a tank, indestructible. The bashers choice #1. If you want something with more agility and you want to keep a racing option, then go with the revo, still a strong truck, but more raceable then the savage.

Both got a large after market parts if you got 1000$ in your wallet, i sugest you consider the hpi baja. No nitro hassle, runnable everywere, impressive. Reply back and let's see were all this is going!!

Our admirable unique W5 Short Course Truck is now available on the new V5 Chassis. The new precisely designed W5 roll bars add extra rigidity and durability to the body.

Wantboost 11:50 PM. I personally dont like truggies, i raced a few at my local track and just find them underpowered. I have a team losi xxx-nt AD1 (a stadium truck) and i find it very easy to drive. Its really easy to jump (practically made to fly) and what ppl are saying about stadium trucks being squirrely are just wrong, just take a few practice laps and you will get use to your truck on the track. Plus you would take practice laps anyways so its not like your gonna be at the track more or waste more fuel. And it makes you a better driver.

And a cooler one at that. Anyone that can throw their truck sideways into a turn and come out straight with speed is a great driver. But if i dont have you convinced, get a buggy, there even better at jumping, generally have more powerful engines, more durable, and my friend has a kyosho inferno 777 sport rtr and it has more customizable options than any other rtr ive ever seen ( adjustable dual brakes, threaded shocks, different shock mounts, adjustable tranny, adjustable wing). Also to me all a truggy is, is a buggy with stadium truck tires, and a ST body. And if none of these float your boat, try out a short course truck like the traxxas slayer, those are 4x4 and seem pretty reliable, fast, and race capable. ChrisRC 05:17 PM.

My xxx-nt isnt squirrely at all. And my local track is a 1/8 track, 2 big doubles, a table and a triple, plus a section with alof of bumps (cant think of the name of that section, but its like the one in motocross where the rider just does a wheely over them). Ive gotten the power slide and handling aspect down and i blow by buggies, monsters, and truggies, i guess im just use to my truck/track set up. Also a squirrely car might not be the truck at all it might be the tread on the tires, ive found bow-ties are the best tires for the tracks in my area (there are 2), step-pins are great as well. But if run with the stock, basher tires, of course ur gonna slide as if the track is ice.

Take this track for example. youtube1/10 trucks can barely even make the step up, let alone the big double in the back. Amccombs15 06:09 PM. So frednitrjunk i saw a desert truck from redcat thats its 4wd.

Im gonna go with redcat just cause of the price i will fill u guys in. But still unsure what type of vechile, i like speed. From price point 1/8 is so much cheaper. What does truggy share its wheels same as monster truck?

I was watching vids and seems like buggy flips/tips on jumps so i guess thats why im leaning towards truggy unless im wrong. So if u guys feel like have a look at the site and tell me what u recoommend that would be great.i will be doing bashing. Theres some local 1/10 buggy nitro for $160can. Is electric start worth the money? Whats the advantage to 2 speed tranns.

Reply back and let's see were all this is going!! FredNitroJunk 07:53 PM. If your on a budget, i sugest a duratrax. I don't know red cat, i just one once at my local hobby shop, and it was like a big monster truck whit a gaz engine. It was not looking well made, lot of desing mistake. Just by looking at it, i was abble to predict what gonna break in the first hour. Was looking like a cheap 20 pounds truggy.

Go to tower or great hobbie (they are canadian) and chop for your truggy. I sugest the ofna mutilator or the hpi hell fire. Ofna if your on a budget, still a lot of gang for your buck. HPI got a lot of after market part. Team losi make one too, i got no experiance of any kind whit it, but its losi so you can't go wrong, probably more expensive tho.

FredNitroJunk 08:21 PM. ORIGINAL: ChrisRC Only Chinese cheapo cars have 2 speed transmissions and they are a gimick. So your' calling most traxxas and HPI cars chinese cheapo car??? I didnt think about the Jato and Savage when I posted that.

But the OP asked about Redcat cars then asked about 2 speed trannies. 1/8 buggy and truggy are the best in every catagory. Get a car from Losi, Assoicated, HPI, Traxxas, DUratrax, or Jammin and you will be alot happier than if you got a Redcat/Exceed or any HSP model. The car is soo cheap because there wasnt alot of r&d put into the cars so that is why they have major flaws that cannot be changed. Also they use extremely low quality parts that break easily and they are made in China. Buy now and get a redcat=bad experience Save up and get a good quality car=good experience on the hobby It depends on what you want to do.
