Default The Perfect Monster Truck

As we all know there are dozens of Nitro Monster Trucks out on the market right now. Some have better features than the other. What does everyone think would make the perfect monster truck, Features, Engine, Transmission, etc.....

What is not necesary in a truck and what is a must?
Maybe if we get enough of a response someone will actually build a perfect machine

I think it would be tough to make the "perfect" machine. There are so many different scenarios out there that people want. Some want aluminum, some want plastic, some want both. Some are racers, some basher, some both. I think it would be really really tough to make an all purpose truck that everyone will love. It seems no matter how perfects one person might think something is, another will think it's garbage.

I would post what I think would be perfect, but I am still in the process of figuring that out for myself. I have a 2.5 T Maxx, and am still in the process of upgrading all the things I want. Maybe when I get done it will be to my satisfaction, but I doubt it hehe .....

I'm thinking there really isn't a perfect monster truck. Everyone want's their truck to do something different, I like hill climbing and serious off road. My truck is a basher with upgrades that are functional not for show. I guess the truck that would be perfect is one that you can adapt to make do what you want to do with the thing. (why RC aftermarket is so popular) If you build a .21 people are going to upgrade that as well for more power. It's a never ending thing.

getting the suspenion better than the savage's on a tmaxx isnt a major project. but i get your point.
somethign that has all the major qualities in onepackage.

i think since monster trucks are usually for bashing/jumping the major issue is the suspension and how well it holds up to abuse.

id like to see a blingmaxx
instead of all aluminum how about all titanium.
bilng bling

um i would say the best STOCK hybrid would be a savage/tmaxx

who wouldnt want a savage that can go over 40 mph out the box(or at least i think thats the max speed of the new tmaxx)
