I was wondering if the HPI rush evo was a good stadium truck? I own 2 RS4 3's and a savage,so I'm kinda wanting to stay with HPI if they are worth a poop!? If not any suggestions?
 
Don't get the rush. See about a XXXNT or an RC10GT or something. I dunno I have the HPI Nitro MT and and after lots and lots of money I am happy with it. Think that is what bugs me about HPI kits. Plus mine breaks really easy. I mean really easy.
 
You can pick up the XTM X-cellerator for 239.00 now. Ready to run. I have to say wow.

The reason I was extremely impressed is the motor. easy to tune, and a rocket. a .18 in a very light stadium truck is just insane fun.

If you have a Monster truck with a .15 or any other rig for that matter you can swap the .18 out to your bigger heavier rig, and put the smaller motor in the X-cellerator. You will still have a rocket. Everything on the X-C is pretty much damned good quality out of the box.

The suspension is completely adjustable as well as toe/camber/alightment etc. ON botht the front and rear wheels.

Anyhow if you are going to be bashing, the X-C is a fine way to go.
 
thanks guys lykan do you have a link or know where I could check out the XTM?
 
nice!and i agree wow! not at all what I expected from XTM?where did u pick yours up at for 239$?
 
I paid 260 out the door for mine. They are on sale right now at hobbypeople.net

Here's the infor from the catalouge I have I think you have to mention the number to get the sale price. My suggestion order a couple of spur gears, the 46, and 47t there's a lot of power in the XTM if you get your mesh wrong, it's strip quick. BTW the slipper setup is awesome. This thing on gravel and loose dirt will weeelie until you don't want to anymore.

The kit price is way cheaper at 169. It comes with 3 clutch bells, sway bars, 1 2 and 4 degree suspension blocks/mounts.and two spurs. The xtm .18 costs 79.99, and you would need a radio + serrvos. So without the servo's or radio your looking at 250. Better of going with the RTR for sure.
 
Ya know that isn't a bad deal at all. Looks like a pretty durable little truck especially for the price. If I would have known about those when I bought My nitro MT I definitely would have bought that. I paid $229.00 on sale through hobby people for mine a year ago. OH well live and learn.
