T-Maxx or Ek4????
Just asking for opinions here. I am looking at getting a Monster Truck and have narrowed down the choices to the T-Maxx or EK4.
Here is what I see as pro's and Con's for both.
T-Maxx:
Pros:
Good price
EZ-Start
2 speed tranny with reverse (A big plus for me)
Plenty of hop ups available
Cons:
Only a .15 engine (yeah I know it is a high-po .15 but it is still only a .15)
It is smaller that the 1/8 scale EK4
Everyone and their brother seems to have one
They seem to be out of stock most everywhere.
EK4:
Pros:
Huge .70 engine! (I am really drawn to this, maybe the only reason I want one!)
Great wheelies (sp?) from what I have seen.
Bigger than the T-maxx
Cons:
No 2 speed tranny
No reverse
Very little after market parts available (compared to the T-Maxx)
May be hard to get parts for
No electric start (not a big deal to me as I have a cordless airplane starter)
Please add any info that may help me make up my mind. I am not really looking to race but would like to keep the option open and one day be able to do so with what ever truck I choose.
Thanks,
Randy
