RE: new truck purchase?
FG's new monster truck looks realy good to me. With the big tires and G230RC engine you'll have plenty of speed. And as for bashing around, I thinck you'll be more than happy with the durability. AND... the price will be around 1500 dollars ( transmitter and servo's included a true RTR ) according to FG. I know this because I went to the RC fair in Dortmund - Germany last week.
