Hello,
I currently have a t-maxx which I've had for about a year and a half now and love. I recently upgraded it with a picco p2 .21 and now have a spare engine and almost an entire radio laying around.I'm now thinking about a new rc car to slap them into. I origionally wanted to get a 1/8 scale buggy, but found out the 2.5 engine wont work in one. Now I'm leaning towards a stadium truck. I want somethink that can handle really well and sticks to the road.
I have been serching, but i havent been able to find any kits that come 80% (w/ no motor or radio.) Did i miss something, or is there no such thing in the world of stadium trucks? I dont want anything super high-end because i dont have the $$$ right now. I just want something that i can have some fun with both around the front yard and bashin in the dirt. If you have any ideas for me, I would appreciate the input!! Thanks alot,

that or if youve got about 250-300 bucks you can get a FT rc10gt but thats pretty much top of the line and I'm not sure if the 2.5 will work but hey its worth cheacking out if you got enough $$ for it.
 
Nathan: WOW, thats exactly what i was looking for! can't believe i didnt spot it. can't believe the price, its sooo much more reasonable than a 1/8 buggy roller.
So its tough as nails hugh? Thats awesome. How is the handeling? Thats a big factor that I'm lookin for. As i said before, i allready have a t maxx for big jumps ect, so I'm lookin for something thats really maneuverable, ect. Anyways, let me know, and thanks a ton for your help, thats exactly what i was lookin for!

yeah that truck is tough.... i bash my rc really hard and I've only broken a rear bearing carrier, a front a-arm, and turnbuckles on mine... but almost all fo it was my fault not the trucks... as far as handling its not a xxx-nt or an gc-10gt but if your new to stadium trucks then it will be more than you can handle.
