Don't get either! Duratrax isn't that good. I have had experience with them (the Maximum ST). If you want a truck similar to those, go with the XXX-NT Sport RTR. It is the best on the market in Stadium Trucks (excluding the Mugen MSt-1, but that is probably way too expensive). It has a great radio, speed, and handling. It is a real race-quality truck.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask,

Kevin

Yea, Team Losi. You can find it around $330.00 at your LHS, and on the internet.

Yea, the RC10GT is also a great truck for the money. Duratrax is considered the beginner types of cars. That is how they perform too. They are not a bad maker for the money, but you can get a whole lot better. They are kinda the "Low-end" cars and trucks made. Just don't make a decision because of the money you have because it will be so much better to wait a while longer, save money, and get a real good car, instead of getting something bad right away. Do you know what I'm meaning?

back to the OP's question, the Evader ST. it'll walk all over the Max ST Pro. However, I'd recommend an RC10GT over THAT.

ORIGINAL: neltar23

flipped in the air like 20ft
I highly doubt that, do realize how high up 20 feet is? The only way it would get that high was if you took it off a large jump at top speed, slamming into something flat is not going to get it up that high. Not to mention, unless it landed on all 4 wheels youd have a number of broken parts.


Anyways, the evaders are fine for the money (the car itself is anyways), but I must say the stock engines on them are terrible. For the first 1-2 gallons they run good, but its completely downhill from their.

I wouldnt consider the Duratrax cars low-end, more or less middle class (RC10GT would in the racing class). Beleive me, I have seen MUCH worse than the evaders.

that is the SINGLE MOST AGGRIVATINGLY IGNORANT statement I've ever heard.
quite a few of the Evaders I've seen have 5-6 gallons through them and are still running almost as strongly as a freshly broken in one.

Well maybe I just got a bad engine then, it happens . All I know is mine is heading for the trash bin (or ebay) as soon as I get the money to replace it.

I may never replace it though as im thinking of selling the car.
