Best Electric Stadium Truck

[Jeabajuice]

I am really into nitro cars but my brother wants to get into the hobby and wants to get a 1/10 electric stadium truck no more than 200. What do you guys think is the best truck for him?

No more than $200.... I'd probably say the Traxxas Slash is his best bet, you'll probably spend $20 or so more than your budget, but for the price it's a decent truck.

I would go the extra mile and buy the Hpi e firestorm or the flux version.

I have had mine for about 1 year and i bash it and bash it AND NOT one single part is broken. Its easy to work on and the flux is VERY fast.

Oh and it looks quite tasty....

Thanks

For the money, I'd say go with the Traxxas Rustler. It is a 1/10th scale stadium truck with great parts availability, good mfr. support and lots of after market support as well.

The Slash is a good truck, but is a Short Course truck.

+1 on the rustler. Very cheap and durable. You can pick up a brushed rtr rustler on tower hobbies for 191 buckaroos!

You sir are correct! Meant to say the Rustler. Still a decent truck at a decent price.

I got to vote Rustler as well. The Traxxas rigs are pretty tough to beat.

If you are trying to stay under $200 there is a Duratrax Evader Stadium Truck combo that will give you everything needed to run for a$177.

Not the best stuff but it will get him up and going and parts availability is good. I would add a higher capacity battery to go with it for longer run times something like this
