stadium trucks

[grgbulldog]

how are stadium trucks like the xxx nt and the rc10 gt2? i'm thinking about maybe getting one, just need some feedback on how they are.

As far as what? The two you mentioned are probably the top two in their class.

i just want another nitro to just bash around a little with. like to let a friend drive while i take out my savage. nothing for racing, and i dont want to spend too much, so i looked at these two, i see they are pretty cheap used.

I hear that the hpi Firestorm is a good truck

I would sooner buy an entry level buggy or MT rather than a $300 stadium truck if it was going to be strictly a basher.. just my opinion.

 

[grgbulldog]

I'm talking used

 

[nitrohead1]

Those 2 trucks are designed for racing not bashing.

 

[jetmechG550]

If you want something cheap for someone else to use and don't plan to race it get an Evader! LOL

 

[grgbulldog]

whats an evader?

lol yea, i looked it up, i dont really want one of these 2 wheel drive stadium trucks, well, i do, but i dont. i want a 2nd nitro. or maybe i'll go with a mini lst to go with my 18t. are those good? i just want to match 'em up so i can bash around with someone.

Well, the 2wd stadiums don't get around nearly as good as the savage or any other MT. They are also much less durable. The rc10gt can be made more durable by replacing arms with RPM arms, but it's still a small light truck that's two wheel drive.

The MLST is a decent looking little rig, but they have diff issues. If you replace all the diffs with ball diffs (a bit of dough), then they are better.

A second nitro to answer to a savage would have to be a MT of some sort. Anything else would leave you wanting something bigger.

Hi Guys...I'm just starting out RCing, would anyone have any suggestions what I could do with a pro.15 nitro sport?

 

[olds97_lss]

You should probably start your own thread and explain what you want to do with it.

 

[bourney2006]

my advice is buy a HPI rush evo. You could pick one up seond hand on ebay for about £50 (about $100), so its ace jus to let a friend use

 

[grgbulldog]

is the mlst as fast as the rc18t?

 

[janniman]

i have a rush evo it was cheap and have great fun with it its pretty easy to tune as weel

 

[hamz9561]

I honestly don't know if it is as fast as the 18t. They have clocked the 18t at over 60 mph with a brushless and lipos.

 

[psunitro]

Well you can "make" anything fast.

If your looking for a 2nd basher to go with the Savvy, why would you get something that wont go half of the places the MT will? If your friends will be running it, they will be REALLY dissapointed by the fact you will run all over them. How about a used stock Savage? The parts wont be an issue.

Do you want something different than what you have? If so you can look at a older RC10GT, you can find the for around $100 depending on whats with them. You can make them bash worthy with RPM stuff. They are Nitro, quick, will go places a 4wd 1/18 can't, and are cheap to get replacements for.
