Sorry if this has been talked about before but I am getting back into the hobby and am a little short on info. I found this kit in a hobby shop with motor for $240,also has full ball bearings. Any info on this kit would be greatly appreciated. How durable is it? Parts readily available? I wont do a whole lot of racing but you never know I may want to mod it in the future. Thanks ahead of time for all your help.

I have a Nitro MT and it is awsome! You other guys just may not have been racing a properly tuned engine because mine keeps up with my friends supernitro (untill he hits the top end anyway then he takes off!!) It also gives the T-MAXX a run for its money (until it hits 2nd gear hehe). I Love my little truck and would love to find some other ppl with other trucks to race.

dude my nt would kill your hpi. the hpi i saw was not mistuned. it was owned by one of my friends that works at my lsh. he has many years expirence racing nitro and it was tuned the best it could be. i think he sold it not long after he bought it. i dont like the way the hpi's look, they look very poorly designed and i hear they break very easily.

my rc10gt out of the box could whoop a hpi...if i was a good driver and all...[>:]
