tmaxx is to expensive and the rc10gt's.which one of these would u choose for ur first truck:Tower nitro st-15,Kyosho ST sports RTR,or a Traxxas Nitro sport SE those would be in my price range that i can get.I would like to have a fast,low mantenence(compared to other nitro cars)and most of all reliable and has available upgrades.thanx

I would recomend the RC10GT PLUS. It's a very great truck, especially for the price!!! It's great for racing and playing. It may be a little expensive but it's of much higher quality and most hobby shops always have gt parts in.

Yea its worth spending a little more for the RC10GT.I have an RC10gt and a Kyosho St.The Kyosho is a toy compared to the Rc10GT.
However the Kyosho is a good first car.But there is minimal hopups and I've been waiting for 2months for parts to put it back together and the parts I need aren't going to be in stock until the end of Dec.
The RC10GT you can get parts about anywhere.

yes,i just went to my lhs and i was talkin to the man about what im looking for and went strait to the rc10gtplus ready to run with radio for 349 or 319.is that a good deal including the radio.He was alot of help and told me about the car and turns out an employee had his RC10gtplus with hop ups that he uses for racing.I think i might go wit this truck.only set back is price for me.they also had a losi xxx-nt for the same price but not sure if rtr.what u guys think?

Losi will be a little more for an RTR but mainly because of the computer radio. Either truck is very user friendly and has a ton of aftermarket parts. Only difference will be the RC10 also has bling bling parts and the Losi aftermarket parts are all just to make it lighter and faster. But I would definatley buy either one of them over any other stadium truck made. Just go check out a race and see who is winning and what they are driving.
