thinking of buying a Kyosho TR-15 Stadium Force

[FRIDGE]

is the Kyosho TR-15 Stadium Force a good stadium truck? what are some of the pros and cons of this truck. i know that i will have to build it which is why this truck has caught my eye also because it comes wiht an engine. i just plan on bashing maybe some wild jumps and some running in the snow. I0 currently own an on-road touring car so I'm not new to this kind of stuff. should i look into something else like the RC-10 GT,Nitro Rustler or the Losi XXX-NT? thanks for all of you that reply.

According to a review here: http://www.nitroreview.com/TheDatabase/homekits.cfm
The Stadium Force has a loose rear shaft. Other than that, it seems good? (it shares the same chassis as the Inferno TR15 buggy which most people were happy with) Oh, it also needs ball bearings. I'm just worried about the parts availability though...

The other 4WD stadium truck kit is the HPI Nitro MT Racer (no engine), or the Nitro MT2 from Japan (you can get one without radio/rotostarter).
I bought a Super Nitro Rally kit and converted it into a Nitro MT (ages ago), but if you prefer, you could build a Nitro MT2 from stock and hop up parts to your liking (thanks to the online instruction manual). You can easily find the parts at Tower, ebay, and some others. But it will get really expensive.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. We do have 4WD stadium racing around here (more like Nitro MT racing actually), so I don't regret having a Nitro MT. Perhaps 2WD is better for you, in case you want to go racing.
