Hey if ya got an off-road Thunder Tiger lets see or hear about it.
Truggies, buggies , or monsters.


We got another 18" of snow yesterday and today, on top of the 14' yes I said 14 feet!!!! at this rate I'll run my tigers in the upcoming fall if i'm lucky! Alot of it already melted luckily, there's about 6'-7' in my yard right now!

Here's my ST-1 PRO, EB4-S3, and a whole S**Tload of snow!!, and under there somewhere are my real cars. lol!

Reminds me of my ST-1 that I drove into a local lake. Its still down there probably.

dirthead

Maybe it is yours coming back to haunt you[X(] hahaha lol!

Got any pics?

sheograth

I do somewhere, on some hard drive on some PC lol. If I find them I'll post. It wasnt too special, pretty much stock.

Wow, nice truggy Dirt, what body is that ?

dirthead

Thanks it's a Proline chevy silverado. It's a bit too short, but I made it work.

jay863fl

It looks great man, not too flashy, I like that.



All stock for now, got some goodies on the way.

dirthead

Nice machine Jay, looks new, if it's your 1st, you'll love it. Nice radio too btw!

TTR_EB4

well its my first buggy so i wouldnt know what its like to other buggies but man this thing flies, like i said before i raced it last month it went very good out of 6 races i only went into 2 of them because of tuning problems, bt thats my fault
Dirthead how do you like the S3, i should be getting one at the end of the year?

TTR_EB4

TTR_EB4

sorry i got that wrong, i had tuning problems in 2 races. sorry

jay863fl

Thanks, I have an upgraded steering servo coming, gonna do the Saxton steering mod, and got some offset hubs and rims coming. That radio is hands down the best investment I have made. I have a Mini MGT with a JR Synthesized Fm that is the same case that the other Spektrums use, and the ergonomics of that DX3R is so much sweeter.

I love this truck, I ran it headfirst into a metal culvert, no damage at all, well, not to the truck, the culvert got curled under a good 3 inches or so ~.^ I got it all broken in now, and am gonna start club racing it as sson as I can get the wing mount. Also , for what its worth, the Mini for less than $350 has been an awesome monster truck too, but its 1/10th scale so its not overly huge, perfect for backyard bashing.

Oh yeah, one more thing, my daughter is gonna race the ST-1 also, so once we get her body in and painted Ill have more pics. Gonna have a white body with hot pink flames, and dye the rims hot pink too, Im hoping to see this sucker form the moon

dirthead

The S3 is awesome, nothing at my track can touch it yet, broke the track record by 4 full secs. I'm racing mostly truggies though, but a few others are hopping aboard the buggy train. I'll be able to compare it better to other buggies this year, and there are a few good ones too, RC-8, Hyper 8, Hyper 7, Matrix, to name some.

dirthead

Hey Jay Check out this link at amain, they are also supposed to have the matching wheels http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/2930
Nice to see that your making it a family thing. Keep up the good work!

Here's Thunder Tiger central in my basement. lol

twomanytoys

This is what I race and I love it. TTR ST1 with LRP Spec3 and JP3 pipe.

redfox03

here's my st-1. has jammin 16mm shocks and a kyosho str body from jconcepts.

jay863fl

Dirthead awesome link thank you. Seems like everyone that has one of these ST-1 or EB4 loves them. I know I read the ST-1 thread every day and other than minor issues, they seem like a very under rated truck.

dirthead

How do you like those shox fox? lol really.

dirthead

Your welcome Jay, the TTR group is one of the best, most loyal bunch out there, and with good reason there's not much not to like about these vehicles, except maybe the fact that parts can be hard to find sometimes.

twomanytoys

The TTR trucks are built like rocks. Tough,Tough,Tough! I race mine and have not needed any parts. I like to bash it sometimes to but im sure not to the extent that some of these kids bash. It is a very underrated truck for sure. They are very popular in the UK and thats why I think they have the associated name here.

jay863fl

I agree, if AE released the exact same truggy, I think it would have went over better here in the States. Which, now that TTR and Associated are one so to speak, it makes me curious as to how similiar the Associated truggy will be. Also, has anyone else noticed a LOT of the Mugen parts are interchangeable?

dirthead

Well if the rc8 is any indication, I don't think the rc8t? will be anything like the ST-1. I noticed that the mugen parts are very simmillar, I'd say 3\4 of them would fit on TTR.

Associated ST-1 hm,mmm has a nice ring
