Default Can there be a clear cut "king"?

which nitro ST is the true king? or can there be one truck claimed king? i wanna purchase the best. ive herd bad things about the jato. But what trucks the best in terms of durability, top speed, accleration, handleing? i dont race on tight dirt, we race a large asphalt oval and bash in a large stone cory and such. ignoring price what truck have you had the best luck with? firestorm? jato? MT2 18SS+?

No there isn't a clear cut 'king' for stadium trucks. King of what?
There is a 'best truck setup for your driving style', but only you can build that.
They all can be built with loads of aftermarket stuff to make them tougher/faster/lighter/quicker....

then I'd say your best bet is the rc10gt2, the xxx-nt is more expensive b/c of the radio system...the winning field today is split 50-50 between those two trucks...or If you want to spend less get a rc10gt (used), just as good of a truck...

well, it depends on the radio system and engine you buy...it's all about the thickness of your wallet.

O.S. .18tz, or if you have extra get one that is eb modded, or mod it yourself...I'm running an os .12 cv right now, but you have to have a .12 for racing so .....that's why I have it, and I love it so far

i would advise you not to get a 18 tz. it would tere up your tranny. an os 18 will be plenty of power.

I could do anything for the right amount of money but why???? The GT's are made for the track and one of the best out there so there hasn't been a lot of people wanting to change that. They have the JATO for the crazy speeds if thats what you want. The 18TZ will make your GT about as fast as you could ever want it and thats to fast for a GT[:'(]
