It is RTR, but what do you mean is it better? And by the way, I think you would be able to put one together, but a kit is WAAAAY over your budget.

Or the Redcat Truggy.

joelnazab

im going to get the truggy... im still alittle concerned about there being no parts for it arround do they sell universal parts for cars like 3rd partys or whatever they call it

Foxy

What truggy? There are plenty of parts for the Thunder Tiger. amainhobbies has them for a start, full range.

joelnazab

yeah but i see people talking about rmp a-arms and things like that lol

Foxy

For the Thunder Tiger?? Not necessary.

joelnazab

so pretty much its as rough as a savage but better handling and maybe quiker?

CrazyMento

Uh.. no ... TTR is not better. ITs a good car but just not as good as the matrix truggy. Matrix has a better radio, servos, engine and everything by the way.

Anyways, www.amainhobbies.com has a special on all matrix right now. Check it out. Free hauling bag..

Foxy

Truggies are stronger than monster trucks. I can't understand why people think heavy trucks are stronger than lighter ones. Mass=breakage.

Foxy

Neither is better than the other, as I said on the first page when this comment was posted. To say one is better than the other is pure opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.

joelnazab

what do u think about the jammin?.... i like the one u said but i see its not that popular lol in the forum with all the pictures there is alot of matrixs in there lol do you think the price is going to go back up on it?

joelnazab

ive also seen but not sure... does the matrix have better servos and radio?

joelnazab

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan i was going to order it tomorrow and it went back up in price!!!!! i wanted the st-1!!!!... well now that its not that much of a difference should i still get it or the matrix????

Foxy

The Matrix does have a better radio, yes. How much is the ST-1 now, then?

vnmsgt

I heard the st-1 sale ended at midnight last night at amain.

Foxy

lol. Bummer, well, at least people will stop accusing me of working for TTR now.

However, it's still a bargain at $369, it was just an unbelievable bargain before. And I'd still (personal opinion) rather have the TTR chassis than the matrix, EVEN if they were the same price. BUT, the matrix is worth the extra money because of the better radio. Once again they are perfectly equal.

joelnazab

its now 380 i think.... and the matrix is 430... is it really worth the extra money just for the radio system???.. overall say i was racing eachother both stock it would be prety even right?

Foxy

I think the TTR has a slightly better engine, but don't quote me on that, I'm a fan of Golden Lion engines (GL make engines for SH, NOSRAM, Thunder Tiger, Associated and many others), they're good. Now I'm not saying it's faster necessarily, when I say better, I mean easy to tune, and if treated right, long lasting, TTR engines usually have good top end too, but again, I've no direct experience of that engine so I can't be sure. The TTR is definitely 369, I checked. And yes, to be honest, the better radio is worth 60$ more, as you can't buy a radio with all those functions for $60. Honestly, in my opinion, the two cars are dead equal again.

joelnazab

wow... now i really have to think this lol... i also see that the matrix has 4 brakes and i like on the TT u can have 8 shock lol

Foxy

Don't bother with 2 speeds and 8-shock stuff, it's silly on a truggy. They are not necessary, you don;t see racers with such stuff on their cars, and racing is much harder on the cars than bashing, so believe me, they are not necessary.
