:\ O.K. heres my problem I would love to get a savage but then I would also like to get a stadium truck because they just look awesome and haul major ass! my friend has a rustler and jesus
that thing flies
I want a stadium truck because they are cheaper than a savage and they are rear wheel drive:drool: I love rear wheel drive it's way more fun than 4. I have 343$$ right now but I will have $$400 soon I love allowance 10bucks a week (makin the big bucks) but anyways these are the trucks I was thinking of

Traxxas Rustler
Losi XXXnt
Losi XXXnt sport
RC10GT plus
Schumacher desert storm xrt.21

I am a beginner I would like something that hauls ass and is fairly bullet proof. One more question can any of these fit a .21 besides the xrt.21
Thanx
 
From what I have seen the XXX-nt it a nice truck. Not as strong as the rustler. My rustler is sweet I love it I have to many jumps and only broke the rear shock tower and a crank case(manufactuer problem). I have seen a couple Shock Towers, a couple PAIR of control arms and more break on the losi. They are both good truck.

What are you gonna be doing with the truck? Racing or Bashing or a little of both? If your gonna be jumping and stuff not really racing at a local track I say go with the rustler and you've seen them in action. If you plan to race in compitions then I say the losi. If you have any questions on the Losi XXX-NT sport or the Rustler you can PM I have drivin both but my bother own's the losi.:hbd:
 
just pure bashin there are no tracks out where I live so maily drag racing, back yard bashin, poundin the street and I'm hopin to hit the sand this summer (good idea or no??)
So can any of these get a .21?????????
Oh and which ever truck I get will be driven At least 4 times a week if not more
Thanx
 
Pure bashing? Drag Racing? Pounding the street? Sounds like a rustler.
Hit the sand?Sounds like fun I'm gonna to it too, Make sure you get a fuel and have your air filter oiled up and ziptied. I have a sweet vid of the rusty in the dunes.
If you get the rustler you woun't need a .21
4 Times a week? Sounds good. If you plan on not using it for more then a couple day's you should get afterrun oil to put in your engine. Help's keep it lubed up and no rust. Always when your done take the fuel out of your tank. Have fun!

I saw that video "mutant machines"?? It is a pretty awsome video especially that sixteen cell Tamiya mad fighter.
thanx
 
specter - i have the RC10GT, and i bought it for the sole purpose of bashing. 2 gallons of fuel later - aand the thing still runs great. very fast, handles well, and the aftermarket support is amazing. the losi would also be a good choice. u can get the rc10gt rtr for 270.00 ready to go! as for a .21, u could make it fit in just about any model, but alot of the high end .12's and 15's will hold there own against it. all about power to weight. just look at the tmaxx, it has a .15, and will smoke the doors off a savage.
 
Rc10gt seems like a good option I like the way it looks, but I'm not to sure about the plus only because of the 3/16" axles and I dont know what parts off the factory team and the rtr fit on it and also is there an adapter to fit rc10gt rtr wheels on it?? And also which proline bodies fit onit the RTR or the other ones?? If these questions seem out there it is because I'm a beginner
Thanx
 
Almost all staudium stuck bodies fit all stadium trucks.
 
all factory team parts will fit the RTR AE products. proline makes wheels to fit both the plus and the regular models. as for bodies, most stadium truck bodies will fit but need some minor mods. also the proline bodies will not fit on the rc10gt without adjusting the stock tuned pipe. it sticks out too far, and makes the body flare alot on the left side. that is easy to remedy though, take a look at my member gallery and u can see some pics of my rc10gt, with a proline body on it.
 
I looked at your member gallery and I'm not seein any pictures of the rc10gt must be these damn school computers takes like ten minutes to for a post to be put up.:ball:
 
The new era models .21 conversion kit looks pretty nice.
 
I heard that on the rc10gt that you need to remove the carb restrictor to make it a truly great stock basher :confused: ?? (any thoughts on this).
thanx

thats almost true, but for a regular body (something off an rc10gt) to fit a losi . youll need to cut little sections out for the shock towers to stick out from ... but its no big deal , just need a body reamer.


i have the losi xxxt sport (electric) and its great, i would recomend the xxxNt sport to you , it comes ready for some serious Sh#t with really good equipment
 
It does pack some good hardware like the JR XR2 or XR3?? I have the XR2i from the electric version bought it for 70bones off ebay awsome price for a truly awsome radio.
 
Well it seems that I will be getting the rc10gt. Hopefully sometimes this month I want to get these do they fit on the Plus version

I want people to see my gt and be like what the hell is that a ST with 1/8th scale buggys on it it would look pretty awsome with a black GMC Sierra body and some of these on it

I have another question is there a wheelie bar available for the rc10gt or can any wheelie bar be converted to fit the rc10gt??
Thanx

you are talking about the adapters right?? The reason I ask is because the RC10GT plus is an rtr but it has different axles and I wasn't sure and am still not sure and I do not want to blow 35 bones + shipping on something that does not fit
 
Ask you LHS or ask around here or else where. Some one must know.:D
 
I'll just start a new thread or hopefully someone knows.
