I have a jato a tmaxx and a rs4 3 evo

i wanna get one more rig that i can build from scratch and have everything!!

what I'm trying to say is i want the jatos speed the tmaxx big air and still be able to steer the damn thing!!

i want it to be off road Am i looking for a truggy or just a good monster truck???

i need your help?
 
If you want speed with big bash ability, you might want to consider a buggy or a truggy. Big block engines with 4WD drivetrain. Lightning fast and able to take immense beatings. Pretty much the F1 of off-road.
 
How about the Jammin X1-CRT truggy, it comes in kit form and you can add engine/pipe and electronics of your choice.
 
it looks like the HPI Hellfire could be better than the Jammin X1-CRT truggy??

any thoughts on the hpi hellfire vr Jammin X1-CRT truggy?
 
Well, I just raced 2 jammin's today with a pretty well tricked out and prepped Revo and I got smoked, I mean smoked. I have raced truggies before, but one of these jammin' truggies was brand new, RTR, never tweaked, out of the box. Guy was an ex-racer in aa-rehab from 7 years ago, but he could drive, man, drive. And he had the straight out of the box model.
 
Probably a truggy would suit your needs well, but looking at all these threads, you probably already know that.

I was in the same boat as you and ended up with a 1/8th buggy that I wish was a truggy due to the terrain I have. I ended up bastardizing it into somewhat of a truggy...

Anyway, I started with a 1/10 stadium (xxx-nt). I liked it, it was fast, handled pretty well, but just wasn't cut out for the beating and terrain that I have available. Then I tried a t-maxx, hated it, underpowered. Tried a 21 maxx, hated it, enough power, but not dependable. Then I got a savage... put about $200 into it, sold the t-maxx and xxx-nt... then I got a 1/8th buggy. Bottom grade hot bodies lightning. Tough as nails, but still got hung up often where I had to drive it. Ended up putting OFNA blazer wheels/tires on it, upping the spur to a 50T, dropped the CB to a 12T and now it's a good bashing rig.

Then I just recently got a revo. Verdict is still out since it's winter and bashing areas are sparse. I like it. It's power is a little on the weak side, but it's quick and handles better than my savage in the snow... time will tell.
