Truck, monster truck onroad....?
1/10. 1/8, 1/6..........................?

onroad any size

Any size?

Are you looking for RTR or kit? With enough money you can make almost any car fast.

RTR

as in any size, i doubt you want a 1/4....

maybe more 1/8 - 1/10?

From what I have seen, 1/8 onroad is fastest. And I am
going to venture to guess that mugen or serpents will
do in the 70 to 80 mph range depending on gearing
and setup.

look, dont just look at the speed and the price ; the faster u go the more risk its to crash it, I take its as u're a beginner if u dont know which car you should get if its the 'fastest one' .

Ok, lets say u get the mugen, and go on the neighberhood whit a 70-80 mph car, and thinks like *now im gonna smoke the road* , you have never driven a fast RC before and now u start whit one of those hotties, You then have no experince of cleaning it or repairing it, much will go broken and dirty when u drive 80mph on the track / road.

Anyway, so u get this 80mph hottie, you warming the engine for 5 fuel tanks and now u're ready to drive full speed.
you put down the trigger full, it'll go insane fast right in a wall or maybe it will just over heat who knows. I stongley sugguest you to take another car if u're a beginner, 'fastest' aint the greatest always. im sure u know what u know its for but it's no real toy. it'll heppen a big accident if u lose its control. and its much money we talk about.


See my point? if u're a beginner, i strongly sugguest you to buy a cheap one to learn the deal whit of RC. and after that u could buy a new one once u learn to handle it.

yep true true if you go to a racing track youll see the guys speeding aroudn the track crashing and being disqualified and the people going at a moderate handalable speed winning because they have control

Hehe . i never been to a track. none around here, driving in a garage , AND to tell u the truth Ronny, my friend drived my 40mph Kyosho to the wall, when i gave him the control. he screwed it up total, lucky me i only paid 320 dollar, and not 500 dollar. it's ok but the top is almost wrecked but it's all fixed now, bought some new parts to fix it; this is just a taste what heppens on the first test drives of someones RC, a crash. now the mugen is not a kyosho. u won't hit the wall in 40 mph, rather like 60 or something...

It is true. Mugen or serpent 1/8 are real fast. But I am certinly
not good enough to drive them! Me and my buddy got street
force duratrax cars as our first onroad gas cars. They go pretty fast
out of the box, 50 or so. But we broke something everytime
we drove.
Now we have nicer ones. He has a trinity reflex 1/10 and
I have a mugen mtx-3. We rarley break parts now but the point
I want to make is that we have been driving every chance we
get for 6 months or so and we are still not all that good at driving.
We did a test last week. He went as fast as he could around the
track and I went about 1/3 throttle. I whipped his but because
he couldnt keep his car on the track at that speed. At 1/3 throttle
I was able to stay on course and take the turns exaclty how I
planned them. Classic tourtise and hare...

Point being learn how to drive. It is much more impressive than
a fast car.

Yeah - how you drive is most important. Where I race they also race MT's on an onroad track. An OFNA Dominator beat some of the touring cars that I know go over 60+MPh. And Dominator being a single speed doing like 30'is or faster beat them because of better driving.

see i am not new in nitro stuff. I have had a tmaxx and a rc10gt befour.

well just to let you know the schumacher fusion .21 rtr is the fastest stock car. With optional gearing it hits 85

Thats what i wanted to know thanks\

np n e time dude

The only thing is most onroad races do not have classes for .21's. Xtreem RC Cars has an article about the Schumacher Fusion R12 that you might want to read. It is the July03 issue.

well i was thinking about that but he just said what was the fastest car period. He didn't really say n e thing about racing. But yes the new schumacher fr12 is fast also. Anything schumacher is going to be fast, b/c i mean they have the fastest on road and fastest off road. but i dont like the stadium truck with the .21 b/c they just got a crap car and stuck a huge engine in it, but with the on road car (fusion) they but quality in to it and lots of alluminum

ohwell...... now u gave him a even worse alternative, if he had a off road before u dont worry about crashes.. to be honest, if u want something real fast or start whit something hardcore i would sugguest something like TC3 RTR its not to fast, not to slow. and u can still tune it whit np finding parts

And, there's alot of people using them, so if u crash it or brake anything, there's a ton people to tips you how to fix, or how to tune it... that's what i would of gotten but im a student and dont afford it

ummm.....so....what's the fastest? serpent, fusion, mugen????? forget about crashin for now i want to know what's the fastest as well

All the 1/8rh scale cars are going to run approximately same speeds. In the neighborhood of 65-80 mph depending on which engine/pipe combo you use and of course what gearing you use as well. These cars are about as fast as they come.

Have read that the .21 fusion was clocked at around 81 mph by one of the magazines, I think R/C extreme maybe. This is probably your best "bang for the buck". I think this is around $380 WITH the engine. You'll easily spend double that to get an 1/8th scale onroad with engine.

Only drawback to the Fusion, which is a 10th scale, is it has tiny wheels, like all 10th scale touring cars and is easily upset driving in parking lots and streets. You'll need a really smooth surface.

I have a Schumacher XTR stadium truck with 3 speed. Lowered it, adjusted the suspension for onroad and put larger onroad tires and it friggen flys. Clocked it at 65mph so it's not quite as fast as the fusion, but it is waaay easier to drive and doesn't spin out or flip everytime you hit a pebble.

With a hotter engine and better tires, I'm sure I could hit 80 mph with it.

But a better engine would cost prob as much as the car itselfs....? eh..i checked prices on engines, cost about 400 dollar if its a real hottie

I have good luck with my rc10gt!!!!You might want to see bout that?
