RE: KIDS HAVE DISCOVERED NITRO
Well if you dont want something so expensive, and you want a KIT then how about a Team Losi AD2. It's a ST, smaller and it's a good kit more used for racing, but they can also be good bashers. You can get any size engine you want from .12 to a .18 without having do much if any mods to the truck. You can gety a O.S .18CVR for $99 (last time I checked) and that thing is awesome. Great power, easy to tune and very reliable, and once that engine is tuned it stays tuned for just about forever.
There great trucks and are KIT's also if you want you can look at the Team associated's GT2 (very similar to the AD series) and can also be bought in a KIT form. There good trucks that are just as good as the AD2. Here's a link to the xxx-nt AD2 Now remember that i the pics they have the engine in and the servo's in and the truck is together. But it is a KIT so you will have to put it together and you will have to buy your own engine and servo's for the truck. Now Losi also offers buggies and things of that nature also that are in kit forms. Just punch in Team Losi to the right of the search function and then hit go. And you can look at what they all have.
