Default Looking for a Monster Truck

Good Evening Everyone!

I am new to the forum and just getting back into the RC world. My question is, I am looking at a Monster Truck and am wondering if anything now days tops the Thunder Tiger MT4 G3 (I think that's correct). Or if anything is coming out that can compare or beat it.

Also, I do not see that it's being sold on Tower Hobbies anymore, is it sold directly through TT?

Thanks!!

Welcome back! The TT MT4 G3 is a great truck, but has been discontinued. This OFNA truck is new and looks like a nice bet.

I think Ofna makes some great stuff. Also check out the Axial Yeti XL, not quite a monster truck, but a monster buggy/rock racer. As of the end of 2014 came, Tower Hobbies no longer is distributing the brand. Which makes no sense to me.

Thunder Tiger now makes the K-Rock MT4 to go along with the KAISER eMTA. Not quite sure you can still find them around or not.

Plus you take $70 off the listed price because of Tower's current sale! Sweet!

Thanks for all of the reponses! Just curious, why did they discontinue it? I researched the truck a while ago and saw nothing but positive reviews. I will check out the OFNA.

Thanks again!!!

Good evening,

I was just wondering, is this still a viable truck, and are parts easily obtainable in the US??

Thanks!

Not sure if serious or not? Sorry, I was told by my local store that they are like the mt4 and it is hard to get parts for them?
