New to Trucks!!!

I am an airplane guy but have wanted a huge truck to play with on windy days. I want something bigger than everyone else. I mean huge. Gas engine and fast. 4 wheel drive with all metal gears. What is the biggest truck out there to be bought? Please respond and keep me informed.

The largest has to be the New Era 1/4 scale monster truck. Its out of stock but I bet if you give New Era a call they will put one together for you. The biggest Traxxas truck is the Summit. The only other monster, monster truck I can think of is the GST from CEN.

Here is the New Era monster

ReaperGN,

Thanks do you have a website for this 1/4 scale Monster Truck? It is what I am looking for.

Thanks for the reply,

Barry

It was under the picture. But after you see the price you might change your mind. Still the New Era truck could crush almost every other RC truck out there unless the mythbusters are involved.

The guy from New Era is no longer making the 1/4 scale MT. He had a contract with the military at one point in time but no longer. And its highly unlikely the OP is going to spend 5K on a RC truck. They cant be bashed and must be taken care of very well.

If you want one of the biggest Nitro MTs. Its the CEN GST.

If you want a gasser truck. Get a FG Monster Truck. They run for about a grand. They are a blast.

This one will blow your mind, it's huge, hauls ***** and can take a good beating.

It's not technically a monster truck, and is two wheel drive, but youtube it, it's awesome!

BIggest Monster trucks that are functional and AWESOME!

1/5 scale FG MT5 (MONSTER TRUCK) 26cc GAS zenoh engine (2 wheel drive but FAST and never usually got stuck anyway)

1/5 scale MCD 4x4 (MONSTER TRUCK)GAS Same type motor just a different brand (great brand) and 4x4

1/8 Scale CEN GST (GENESIS) (really looks 1/6 or 1/7 scale, it;s BIG) 7.7 NITRO enigne (GREAT Truck, i OWNED A niTRO A FEW YEARS BACK AND JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER NEW ONE AND i AM CONVERTING IT TO BRUSHLESS ELECTRIC,, oops sorry for the caps,)

There are also numerous other 1/5 Like the Baja truck, and buggy but I have not owned one, I do hear they are good as well.

SO those are your choices and just so you know there is a "Large Scale" section on this forum. You will love any of those trucks.

I bet if New Era had someone ask for one and decided to pay for it first they would make one. And the little bit of driving I have seen of the 1/4 there was not enough room to even try to open it up. You probably would have to be a little careful but for regular driving it would be fine. Also I have seen some Baja's that get very close to the price of the truck.

1/4 Scale = $4450.00 (not practical in my opinion and a waste but very cool at the same time, i;d never buy one though)

1/6 Scale 2wd FG Bigfoot Monster Truck - 26cc = $849.00
(Wow great price I paid almost 1400 for mine, I want one again!!)
http://www.largescalerc.com/ (Contact Troy, he will take good care of you if you want a 1/5 scale truck)

1/6 scale, FG 4WD Competition Monster Hummer Kit w/Mechanical Brakes & Clear Body = $1,849.00


1/8 (really 1/7) Scale CEN GST 7.7 = $439.00
