RE: Which stadium truck is overall better?
usa, for the third time, How OLD are you? You post like a 5 year old kid, but then I see wife (not gay
) and corvette. But then you say thing like OMG OMG OMG!!!!! If I could brew nitro fuel I could I would have a whole house full of it!! OMG....I think the answer to NitroNate vs. all the Traxxas fans (mainly usa) is have you two ever driven the competator vehicle? How do you know it isnt durable when you havent OWNED it before?

Oh C'mon Chris there is no need for insults. We are all entitled to our opinions. Am wrong? And if you read through the thread carefully usa98030 never said that any of the above mentioned vehicles were not durable. Instead he gave props to 1/8 buggies and truggies. Read before you comment or try to insult someone. We are here to help each other out when need be and give our best educated opinions. As far as using abbreviations it doesn't matter how old you are. Im 35 and still use. but OMG IMO we have the freedom to express ourselves howw ever we want. LOL. Thats why it a free country. NWAYS TTYL.

Seeing all our HPI trucks not dissapointing us is not only a big bonus,but its full proof that these trucks are for me and all the bashers.

RE: Which stadium truck is overall better?
wow comparing a HPI and traxxas .... they're both beginner trucks, each has merit in its own respect .. 4wd more maintinence because of more moving parts to break ... but the rusty has a weaker tranny so its a toss up ... take ur pick man, they're basher play toys .... and for competition, after my 25yrs of RC, i can really say that Associated and Losi are the only trucks i would recomend .... now say ya can't bash a T4-FT it will fall apart! .... thats straight up bull crap!....... i bash my t4 everyday .... and it rarely ever breaks .. unless i like hit a tree at 50mph LOL ... everyone is entitled to their own opinion .... they're like ass holes, everyone has one!!!!!!

No offense, but Savage's are considered toys at our track. Cant make any big jumps, and when attempting to jump with the race 1/8s, they break. Same with T-Maxx's, Revos, and MGTs. The only MT that ever did good at my track was a modified LST2, but it had truggy tires and upgraded to truggy spec. It was faster than my buggy lol. While the MTs are breaking, buggies and truggies crash 10x harder, jump 5x higher and further, and dont break nearly as often.

Yeah if you wanna bash get something like a savage! Those things are tuff as nails

Racing is a lot more strenuous than bashing because with bashing, you arent demadning as much of your car.

I find it amazing that you think it's so cut and dry.

Have you ever raced? Ive bashed HARD, and raced. Ive broken more parts bashing, because you always want to go higher, faster, etc. but my car wears more racing because there is more consistent wear on the car-you arre always running as fast as you can where bahsing you can always slow down.

Look, I know what bashing is. it is a VERY general term. From people saying bashing on yuotube when they are driving in grass, to people jumping and hitting things at WOT. But with bashing, you can always take it in, temp the engine, tune it, replace anything that is loose or broken, etc. but not in racing. You run until your car wont go anymore. Okay then, take it from something totally unbiased, get a 200 oz digital servo. Race it a year, then bash it a year. I bet the servo that raced would have some kind of problems, while the basher one wouldnt. That is why people who race have at least 2 extra GOOD servos, while people who bash usually use their stock RTR ones.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but your reasoning is wrong, plain and simple. The onlywayit may be right is if you forget whatevery other basher does and just consider YOUR idea of bashing and compare that to racing.

So bashers always slow down instead of constantly running as fast as they can, huh?So bashers are always bringing it in, taking engine temp, and tuning it, replacing anything that is broken, huh?Your definition of "basher" is starting to come together.In the above quote you stated thatbashing is"a VERY general term", but in actuality you're doing a very good job of narrowing it down.

RE: Which stadium truck is overall better?
I thought this thread was dead but I have to stick in my 2 cents. I Used to race. For 7yrs straight I raced at local events from Miami to Orlando. And for the last 8yrs all I do is bash. I have worn out or broken less parts in a race than I ever have bashing. I used to run my RC10GT at WOT for hours at a time. 2 3 some times 4 hrs. And I would run it some times with parts missing. I remember onc e I ran that bad boy with a broken front A arm and a front wheel missing and still had aa blast. I take my Jato out now almost everyday on my lunch break for about 1 hr and on my days off I run it on average 3hrs staight. 85% of the time at WOT. The only thing I have killed in a yr and a half with my Jato is 2 transmissions. Have you seen the XXX MAIN videos? To me that is what bashing is. And you place a hell of a lot more stress on parts and your motor when you do some serious bashing. That's just my opinion though.

It is just that when I used to bash, I wouldn't run WOT for a minute straight, most of the time I would just be jumping or building a small track or hitting things. And if I noticed someting wrong, I would run to the car.

RE: Which stadium truck is overall better?
Okay ive seen the XXX MAIN videos. They are good, but they dont really spark my interest. Like I said, the term basher is a VERY vague word.
And quietnas1, the difference of races has cahnged tremendously since you got out of racing.

RE: Which stadium truck is overall better?
Jato Schmato... wait till I get that XXXNTI got put back together that I was mentioning in you ST thread quietnas
just got my hands on an EBMods os .18 for it and am waiting for a couple more parts, and rebuilding it... As far as th OP... there are alot of great STs by alot of companies, I just came across a XXXNT, and am impressed by the build quality in the Losi ST. so I would recommend that, I also have an HPI nitro rush, and a Duratrax Maximum ST, the HPIleft a little to be desired as far as adjustments, and the duratrax was my first ever nitro, and has been fun and faster than a crack addict running with your stereo, but in terms of overall good quality parts availability, etc. the losi is definately a good starting point...
If you can swing the price though... The traxxas Jato is pretty ill...
