CENMatrixArena, ThunderTigerST-1, or HB's Lightning Stadium Pro--All RTR Choose which

[mnelson_1976]

Just trying to decide the best truggy for overall preformance, durability, parts, racing possible but overall fun. I am relatively new to the hobby with only 9 months nitro experience. I currently own a t-maxx .21 conversion. I love it but want something with better handling and track capabilities. Thank you to all. I LOVE NITRO!

Does anyone have a opion on this matter?

I'd go with the HotBodies truggy. Its basically made by HPI but under a different name.

Personally I would go Hot Bodies. Parts are easy to get and it is a solid truggy. I really don't know a lot about the other two honestly but I have a Hot Bodies Lighting 2 buggy and it is rock solid and tough.

Thunder Tiger ST-1

Read the reviews on it at AMain.

Thunder Tiger ST-1, my ONLY choice. Solidly built rigs from the box, plenty of options and highly tunable for racing !!!!

So it is down to two. Tiger vs. Lightning. Who will remain supreme? I have always been leaning torward the Tiger until saw recent review in extreme rc magazine for the hot bodies. Are there any obvious thing I just haven't noticed or is it a tie? Thanks for your posts.
