[tanveer]

I'm just about to purchase my 1st nitro monster truck i have always had touring cars..is the team losi raminator a good and durable truck I'm not going to race and only bash around near my house i was also wondering is it very similar to the lst or aftershock? thanks alot guys

Very similar to the LST and identical to the Aftershock, ie two speed tranny without the hi/low and without reverse.

Basically you are paying a $60 premimum over the Aftershock for the Dodge Ram body and orange wheels. Unless you are hooked on the Ram body I would go with the Aftershock and use the $60 for fuel!!!

theres a real good deal at modelsportuk a uk hobby store the raminator is only 269 pounds which is cheaper than my lhs sells the aftershock for..and they would both stand up 2 the abuse from bashing right?

You get a 2.4gHz radio with the Raminator, the AFT only has a 2 channel JR xr2i AM radio.

Well, with a few upgrades, they will take a decent amount of punishment. RPM arms, lunsford turnbuckles, CNC'd engine brace and LST2/XXL two speed if you upgrade the engine.

For the money, they are a well balanced rig. Personally, the big floaty tires cause more issues than they are worth. I'm debating on getting muggy wheels/tires for mine vs the LST2 stockers I just put on it. I was running standard MT tires. Mine started life as an aftershock. It's "matured" quite a bit over the past 2 years.

Or is that "mutated'?
