Default Nutech Monster truck

Beacuse of good reviews of Nutech I am thinking to buy Nutech 4WD Monster truck
http://www.nutechracing.com/english/...ent.asp?ID=676

But cant find it.
I cant find any reviews of Nutech Monster truck 059900 .
Please post any info if you have.
On Nutech site there is SOON 057950 , do you know what is this.
I know that you - dont like reverse, But as i am only basher and like offraoding , I am still lokking for truck with reverse.
I found one with video online: http://www.chinapioneer-industrial.c...20PRC5402.html

As I red all reviews, I think that best cheap 4wd truck is Nutech.
By reviews, Smartech, Redcat , etc.. all have some problems and Nutech is better that others.
Am I right?
waaiting for your responds.
I hope Foxy will responde too.

well i hope to have my gt5r onroad model tuesday in the post and i will be doing a review on it.

looks great anyway.this is the new onroad model thats just in production.

the monster models look very good,4x4 and silicone filled diffs,they must be tough.

there is a video here someplace of some guy jumping one for like 10mins almost none stop,heaven knows how it held up......

but like i say i have never driven one so i cant say anything yet....

The monster truck will be out soon after the Thunderbolt 2. There have been some difficulties with US distribution which will be resolved shortly. The site to watch out for is nutechracingusa.com, but it's not ready yet (few more days). The Thunderbolt 2 buggy has now been released in Europe and Australia.

So I guess the question will be, for someone like me who would want reverse, could this be nabbed off the nutech, and put on say, a baja?

From my experience in 1/8 scale monster trucks reverse is more trouble then it is worth and most do away with it. When racing you cannot even run it. The link you posted of that truck how easy will parts be to get???????? This is a BIG concern when it comes to this hobby! All so do you have to wait for parts to ship from over seas. No way I would buy one of those over a Nutech!!!!!!!

Is it worth to wait for Nutech Monster Truck or buy Redcat?
I think Redcat is best choise from cheap brands ..

I know some running Red Cat and they are a decent truck most of the guys I race with run buggies, but once you start putting a lot of HP to the drive train you need to up grade. If and when I get another 1/4 scale it will be a Nutech. I am sure you will have fun no matter what you get.
