Do a lot of research before you buy a truck. not only get opinions, but mostly facts. That will help you make your own opinion which is important because everyone is different and wants different things. Although if you get the majorities opinion on whats the best truck for your needs, they will basicly be right. If you ask me, I would say monster trucks are the way to go. You can just do so much more with them than a stadium truck or onroad car. I would reccomend the XTM Mammoth or the Traxxas Revo. Ive also heard of other good MTs but those are the two I would like to get.
