People are going to start thinking I work for Thunder Tiger soon, but here we go again...actually, to save myself the trouble of typing it all again; check this thread which is still on the first page of this forum... http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6650129/tm.htm

:DCome on Foxy you must be getting some kind of kick back from TT,i must of seen you pumping them five times this week!;)

I do agree though.

RE: Nitro Help
 

It's just such a DEAL, I would buy two myself if I could get around the customs issue. I don't know how they can be selling it for that price, I really don't. Go figure...

RE: Nitro Help
 

aight..looks like a nice truck..what would be a good buggy option.??

RE: Nitro Help
 

In the same sort of price range? The only one I'd recommend would be an OFNA Hyper 7, but that truggy is a much better deal, I mean, look at the size difference between 1/8th buggies and truggies, see pic below! And that truggy comes with a sweet engine.

RE: Nitro Help
 

Oh Great They sent TT rep here. J/K foxy.

A good car would be a nitro Rustler, firestorm, TT truggy is also good.

RE: Nitro Help
 

Yep the budget buggy to go for is the Hyper7...i have two,both the .21 and the .28 you will not find a tougher buggy!

RE: Nitro Help
 

I agree that the tiger is very nice price for truggy...But i hate to say it..but my other half doesn't want me to spend that much...maybe i could get lucky on ebay...doubt it..but what are some other pos buggies out there i could look into???

RE: Nitro Help
 

You can do 1/10 staduim trucks. THey are alot cheaper. I think the associated rc10 gt and firestorm are both good racers.

RE: Nitro Help
 

awesome...i think that maybe the route that i go with...I like the HPI...Gonna look into that one a little...

RE: Nitro Help
 

Ya, if your needing something under $280 then a Stadium truck sounds like a good idea.. The HPI Firestorm is a beast.

The ST1 is a great truck (read the R/C driver review) and I am hoping to get one soon.

RE: Nitro Help
 

alright...I've been looking for nitro and missed a great deal on ebay..gt2 for 136..I hated that..anyways..I doubt i run across that price again anytime soon..but i have a few options that i'm looking at...which should i go with to race with..Rustler(is it pos to make a racer),RC10GT-2,HPI firestorm or MT2,buget nitro is the redcat tornado bb..$160

RE: Nitro Help
 

The Rustler is not a racer- Look at this- http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=HPI10510!1007

RE: Nitro Help
 

OK...I'm so obsessed of getting a nitro to race its crazy..Just don't have lots of $$$ at moment..But i'm watching a Evader ST on ebay right now..Is this truck good for racing??

RE: Nitro Help
 

You can race it but doing well with it is a different story.. I would save a little more and buy something you can win with[>:]

RE: Nitro Help
 

No. You need to spend money if you want to race and if you haven't got money for a decent racing car, then you haven't got money to race, sorry, but it's true. [:o]

RE: Nitro Help
 

I think i'm still gonna bid on it..See what i can make happen...I want to be diff anyways..but yes...I want to win too..

RE: Nitro Help
 

Not trying to be rude but I really think your going to make a mistake. IMO, In the end you will spend twice as much is you get this truck.. If it all dose go good then you have made a believer out of me:)

RE: Nitro Help
 

I missed auction on truck...went pretty cheap tho...Maybe that was a sign..I'm thinking if i can't find a rc10gt2 or hpi firestorm in the price range i want next few days..I'm gonna order a redcat tornado bb

RE: Nitro Help
 

I would save your money a little more.. You can get the Firestorm at Ultimate Hobbies for $230..

RE: Nitro Help
 

Well..I have my nitro's...I bought tw0 losi xxx-nt's...good deal i think..250 for both..
