i need a rtr off road that its not to expensive. this will be my first off road that i will be owning. this off road will be only for bashing use not for racing i need something that will take jumps and lots of bashing.
thanks in advance!:)
 
XXX-NT RTR or the Savage. The XXX is a kickass stadium truck while the Savage is an Awesome monster truck.
 
XXX-NT is too weak for just a basher. Rustler:cheers:
 
XXX nt or a tmaxx rustler is like a brick on wheels good for kids :ha
 
Depends on the experience level.... The Traxxas N. Rustler is a great beginner basher... The TMaxx is next in line, only to be followed closely by the Savage....

I too am the proud owner of a XXXNT. One of the best stadium racers on the market.... I just love kickin the snot outta my buddy's AE...lol
 
I totaly agree with christian on this on. The xxx-nt almost drives its self. you can sail it of jumps all day long and it lands awsome. It is hard to hit a jump wrong with it. so what I am trying to say is if you land 99% of your jumps instead of 10% your chances of wrecking is deceased greatly and less wrecks = less broken parts
 
My RC10 RTR has taken one helluva beating. The things that have broke have been replaced with RPM aftermarket parts, such as A-Arms and Bulkheads. Lately I found it rediculously hard to brake something. :)
 
The RC10GT is kickass too! Both are the TRUE leaders in the stadium truck market. And like AoDaLiZeD said, with some RPM hopups it makes it that much tougher to break. The mill and diff tuning in both will determine you punchiness and speed. Pay VERY close attention to the diff part of the manual. Trust me.

I have the XXX-NT Drake Edition so it has all the hopups you could need except for 2. The Native Racing Batter Box and the HG Ti Diff nut are the two musts. I believe all are now coming with the modified tank so you will not need to do the tank mod.

LOL! XXX-NT weak!!!!

Where do you get that idea from?

i snapped my xxxt in half, but thats because the chassis was plastic ... so now I'm graphite ... i need nitro though .. electric sucks bawls
 
I own a few off-road nitros and the one that is the best all-around use is my T-maxx 2.5. The thing is tough, fast, and pretty much every LHS carries Traxxas parts. Its not my fastest or anything I can just drive it anywhere, street, grass, dirt, rocks, and the track.
 
you can do like me and get a duratrax ($200), but it will break easy (cheap junk). I haven't broken anything yet, but I haven't found anything that high to jump it offa yet. :D

Rob friends dont let friends wear tie dye or buy Dura Traxx.:cheers:
 
I agree with Mayhem. XXX-NT is to high/picky/finicky/ and not good for beginners. If you are experienced, then get the Losi but if your starting out, the rusty is the place to go. it is powerful and durable. PERFECT!

I disagree, i am a noobie and just bought the XXXNT and i find it very easy to drive, and pretty tough (so Far) after a wot blat into a tire of a Geo only a ball cup popped off. I would / DO recommend this truck to everyone.:n00bie:

Can your losi hit 45mph on a straight and hit a pile of beer cans(full) and smash em all without a scratch? Can it be slammed into the curb at about 30mph with offroad tires and not break anything? Can it even hit 40 mph stock? Your best bet it with a Traxxas or AE. Losi are pure racing machines. AE is kinda too but tougher. A monster truck is alot more expansive than stadium trucks!
