Default RE: AVALANCHE or MONSOON

I recently purchased the Avalanche and I am pretty happy with it. Basicaly look at it this way. your payin about 300 for this bad boy and the electronics on it are junk. save yourself the heartache and buy a new radio and 2 servos when you buy the truck. this is about 100 bucks worth and the only real difference i can see between a 300 and a 400 dollar truck. well except our SH .28 owns the 400 dollar trucks motor iv never seen a monsoon go but im sure it it of the same quality of the avalanche. engine and chassis are phenominal and electronics are junk. monsoon is more geard towards a serious race on a track and avalanche is just go anywhere but still low and has a race look thats meaner and a little more imposing than the monsoon. well hope this helps you a little in your decision. Dont be scared away by the electronics, just accept that you will need to replace it and get your truck goin and you will have the baddest R/C on the block
