Anyone have this truggy? Just wondering how it holds up. I really like what ive read and seen online so far. Only thing is its the same length and only 1 inch wider than a 1/10 scale. Not really sure where they come up with the 1/8 but who knows. Anyhow just wanted to get some opinions on this truggy.

I am not too sure where you get the size from, its actually a little larger in width and length than the 1/8 ofna mutilatro truggy i have. its huge, far from the size of a 1/10 scale, i am sure alot of others will chime in here and tell you the same thing, you can see the mutilator behind it.

Ahh man is that one yours? Thats awsome. I was just getting the sizes off the traxxas website. The specs on the revo. And compared that to the monsoon. I would figure its alot larger than my revo but i wanted to check. I really like the way the monsoon looks. Seems like a really nice truggy.

ehroof

it is and the revo is not really a 1/10, its definately 1/8, the tmaxx is large too.

get one brother, you wont be disapointed

smokestack04

Yeah never really thought about how big the revo actually is. I really like the monsoon man. lol. It is almost tax time.

ehroof

i am not so lucky, i am one of the guys who has to pay every year.

smokestack04

Yeah i usually do....i hope this year to get some money back... Dont know yet though..lol

ehroof

i have to pay, i know already []

Get the Monsoon, it's an awesome truggy & it's a lot larger than the 1/10 scale, I have both scale from Redcat. But like ehroof said you won't be disappointed.

nice

Thanks for the link ehroof. Lots of good info. Awsome pics there motodude11. Thanks for the comparison shot. Its not a whole lot larger than the Tmaxx. But that is a good thing. The more ive thought about it...would be dumb for anything larger. It would have to be alot harder to get around a track any larger. lol. I really like the monsoon...so i might just have to start saving now.. as my wife is always compaining about the money i spend on my stupid little trucks [&o] Still have some stuff to get for my Revo and then its time to get it a playmate And i know the perfect one. That and it seems that the truggy is really taking over.

ehroof

your welcome bro, you wont be disapointed with it, its a real nice truggy.

smokestack04

Man your always here. How long you been into R/C? Your full of good info lol

ehroof

lol, over 25 years, i do them all, planes, trains, cars, trucks, heli's, boats, hydrofoams, lol, you name it i got it, oh forgot motorcycles too.

i am home for the past almost 2 months because my wife was very ill in the beginning of december and had 2 brain surgery's. i have been going back and forth to the jobsites this week to check on the men since i just started back to work on tuesday. next week will be a little busier. She is in for a long recovery and dont like to leave her side, she is the apple in my eye!!!!

smokestack04

Wow man. Sorry to hear that about your wife. Hope everything works out ok. We just found out that my wife has a mass in her brain. But the doc said its a disolvable mass. If thats how its spelled. But they said she can take medication to help it...so im not too sure. And 25 years.....wow. Only been a few years for me Im a big time car guy and always wanted a nitro so i could tinker with the engine. So thats how i got started. Love it so far. Just not the money that seems to burn up in blue smoke

ehroof

Hope it all works out with your wife bro, i am sure it will after what i seen my wife go thru.

You need DEEP pockets for this hobby bro, check out my gallery here on rcu and thats not near all of it, i am on photobucket and youtube too, same name, ehroof. My 10 year old son is big on this stuff too.

smokestack04

Yeah i found that out about the pockets. Ive got a 13 year old boy that i bought the sava for. He wanted one for xmas Its been fun so far but been too cold for us to really be able to run together. Cant wait till spring

ehroof
