I LOVE Cen stuff but I can't afford the Matrix TR Arena (already have the Matrix buggy) right now. Which Truggy is the best value at $400 or below? Thanks

You got the Thunder tiger ST-1, GS XUT, Redcat Monsoon, HB Lightning. I think that is pretty much it. I cannot tell you which one is best because I have driven all of them. I did have a Monsoon and it is a great truggy for the price. Also everyone here loves the thunder tiger. If it was me I would get the XUT only because I like to be different then everyone else. Monsoon a close second, and thunder tiger 3rd with the lightning 4th only because it is a very old design and do not care for the looks too much like the thunder tiger. JMO.

+2 I will make up for vnmsgt mistake!! at that price and the reputation that the TT ST1 holds you cannot go wrong. not that any of the others are wrong but having 2 ST1s in the garage and seeing the beating they take.... it gets my vote..... and between you and me I think vnmsgt secretly likes it too.

For the price, the TTR ST-1 is the way to go from what I've heard. Of course, for over your price range, you can get better but the Thunder Tiger is the best bang for your buck at this point.
