How long is the average time that a truck can go before having to buy something new for the monster truck so that it works in top condition???????? I am focusing on the kyosho megaforce and I need to know this type of info before getting into this hobby. any help is very much appreciated. thanks. I also have one more question......I need help with deciding on a truck. Would anybody be able to make a suggestion on one of these three.....Kyosho Megaforce, Traxxas T-maxx, or Tamiya Terra Crusher. I want the truck to last long (durabillity) and I want it moderatly cheap. I would perfer 1/8th scale but the t-maxx looks like an excellent truck. Please submit opinions!!!!!!
