Hey
I have a easy but hard question. my brother was going to get the nitro rustler but it doesn't have reverse, So am asking what is the best buggy or stadium truck that has reverse. He dont care if it is a kit and wants a 1/8th to 1/12 scale. Also he wants it to be nitro please help.

most nitro trucks dont come with reverse. if you want reverse, the traxxas t-maxx comes with it. or you can get a savage and put the reverse module.
although theres nothing wrong with not having reverse.
by the way no buggy or stadium trucks come with reverse...those two i mentioned are monster trucks if you didnt know.
 
ok thanks i didnt know that the buggys and stadium truck did not have reverse.. Also i did know that the savage and t-maxx are mts... i am getting the savage ss when it comes out :OT:
 
thats not too off topic...and anyway great choice on the truck. remember though you need to get the reverse module for the savage if you really want reverse. I'm not sure how much it is, i think its around 30-40 bucks.
let us know how you like the ss when it comes and you get it up and running.
 
oo i will anyways i was asking for my brother and i dont want him to get the same truck as me... and my friend has the t-maxx so he could get the savage .21 but he dont want... I told him if he got the rtr that for 99$ he could keep up with the savage ss and t-maxx

DuraTrac 1/8 monster ThunderQuake comes stock with reverse, with my XTM 24.7 in it its scary fast, i bash alot & so far only bent the shock towers a couple times, hamered em back straight, kept going, haven't had any major problems with the truck since new, thinking of getting some huge tires so when it get upside down, just keep going, top speed- bout to fast, got about 20 tanks of fuel threw it now, jumps nice, bout the only thing it wont do is climb a wall, i've tried, just falls over & keeps runing, maybe some "suction Cup" tires, i'd have a nitro spider :jet:
 
Doug, If you are planning on getting the reverse module you're gonna need a standard servo to switch from reverse to foward and vice-versa.
 
thanks robie6 i will tell my brother about the ThunderQuake. Silent... yes i do know about the 3rd channel 3servo thing for the reverse but i am not sure if i want reverse yet... i was told that when u first start off the line it sort of "jerks" off the line.
