Default South african needs some help !

Hello everybody

Im prety new to this rc game, and I live in SA. We are just really starting to race nitro off-road here. I look at your tracks with much jealousy!

any way enough about that.

Im busy bying a monster truck to race, and am ready to pull my eyes out ! every person I talk to tells me to buy a different truck!

Im not worried about cost.

I first started looking at the Savage 25, they was told to go for the GS Sut, then the Revo, now I have been told to go for the LST !

As I said already Im not worried about the cost, I raced Quads and am stopping, so the cash I got from selling my stuff is going into RC.

What hop-up would you recomend, what type of tires for what surfaces ?

I pretty much need all the help I can get. But Im so unsure what car to get.

Thanks for the help !!!

Man it must be a BLAST TO RUN IN SOUTH AFRICA! I would think you guys would have GREAT/ AWESOME terrain to run in.... Maybe go with the trucks the local guys are going otherwise I would pick something like an SUT, Revo or LST They are all great race trucks

If you plan to race, I would say that the best 2 would be the GS storm unlimited truck, or the traxxas revo. Both are good.

Agree with the above Ellis, they are all good trucks. The LOSI probably gives the best combination of bashing and racing ability. I think that the REVO and SUT fall into the category of "monster" trucks. Truggies...The suckers are fast though.
