RE: Monster GT anyone have one?
I recently traded 2 RC cars I had for a Monster GT and wonder what it is worth? It is in mint condition and doesn't have a spec of dirt. It has all RPM hop ups for the suspension, sick aluminum skid plates and bumpers, Integy piggy back coil over shocks all the way around and the .21 engine. I looked up the wheels and tires it has on it and they would cost about $140.00 for the setup. What would you guys put the dollar worth at?

Usually if its used it will go down in value. But with those upgrades you might be set.
Just upgrade the engine to a .28 and make sure you have a FOc in there.

I want to keep it and upgrade the motor but don't know which ones I can upgrade to. I want something that is still a drill start and something with enough power to make it wheelie if I want it to. It does have Big joe tires, not sure which wheel they are but the yare sick looking. Is RSP stuff not that good or something? What is a good motor I can upgrade to?

RSP?
As far as an engine goes, I highy, HIGHLY, recommend the LRP Spec 3. It will end up costing around $150 and it totally worth it. The best BANG, for your buck...

Is this the engine you are talking about? LRP Z.28R Spec 3 Engine NPS by Associated Electrics, Inc. ? I found it on horizon hobby for 179.00 Does the NPS mean non pull start? Does it come with a carb? Would my drill start work on this?

Keep in mind the body is really small, look and the wheel wells, the wheelbase is really short so i guess that could why the tires are really big i dont know

I have the same tires, Big Joes, but have different wheels. They are huge and look so sweet on these trucks. Are those RPM arms you have? I will post pics of mine later.

Nice!!! you made a really great deal on that buy.
Rpm arms, alum shock towers, Big hoes and looks like axle bead locks.
