Hey guys,

Just wanted to get your input on what my next Nitro should be. I currently own an X-Term Pro and a tricked out T-Maxx. I am not looking to break the bank I really don't want to spend more than 5 franklins. I am a newbie to Nitro but I have the bug... BAD!!! Thanks for all of your help.

What are you interested in? MT? ST? 1/8 th scale? Onroad? I have an Ofna PCR PRO I can sell as ARR deal.
 
I am looking mostly off road. I have a MT, and 1/8 buggy.
 
SO you want an Stadium truck like XXX_NT or a RC10 GT?
 
Jon,

Sorry for the delay. I had to work on my taxes and talk about my honeymoom plans with my better half. I haven't seen an RC 10 since my electric days. I am not real familiar with the XXX NT. Which one do think is the better buy? I like the idea of a stadium truck, would go really well with the maxx and the xterm. I have never driven a stadium truck before. Are they fun to drive?

I would go with a HPI MT2 18SS. Its a brand new kit and comes with a completely indestructable drivetrain, well at least more durable than most. It has a .18 engine and is suposed to go around 45 mph. Its 4WD too, which is better for bashing.

Its around 320$ but you'll need a radio. STs are quite fun to drive because they are smaller and light IMO.
 
Thanks my friend. I will have to look into that one. I have an XS3 so all I would need is a new RX. Thanks again

I love my RC10GT. One of the fastest out there (i'm not saying its the fastest because i don't want to get into an agruement). Really reliable and durable. You can purchase a few RPM parts and get some Ti. turnbuckles and some shock towers and be on your way. Captured ball ends are a must, i have issues with the ball cups, even the rpm ones pop off pretty easily. It gets to be a pain in the ass.
 
I have a ST a MT an 1/8 buggy and an on road [that i havent driven yet]. The stadium truck is ole reliable. I am guranteed to have more fun than a pregnant nun on confesion day. They seem very fast because your front tires get light and that makes them hard to steer at times i actually like this i am prolly the only one but i have alot of fun with mine. Most people wont tell you Rustler but if you just gonna do your best to break it i would go with it. Have fun hunting

If your thinking about a Stadium truck, I would highly recommend the XXXNT..

I would also recommend talking to Jon2 about this deal...

If I didn't have my hands full with a new Savage, I'd swipe this baby right up...
Jon2 is a Highly recommended Trader/Seller on these boards...


Thanks Bro.

I am surprised no one has taken it.I already have one so I am set.

Everyone wants a certain truck . XXX-NT or RC10 GT or a Nitro Rustler...or what ever! Which ever he picks just have fun with it!
