BTW, when he means slower, he means in a sense that the vehicle won't be as responsive as a stadium truck. Out of the box, some are as fast or faster than a stadium truck. I've own stadium trucks, 8th buggy, and a Monster truck, but my favorite offroad is the MT. They are just quick with even the stock motor and run over everything. They don't slow down a lot in the grass like a 2wd would or sometimes even an 8th buggy depending on setup. I purchased my MGT for $350 sale price last year. Right now my other offroads are collecting dust.
