I have been away for cars for a long time (20+ years) so am way out of touch. Recently, an old friend I bumped into told me about the current status of the r/c car scene, and I must admit it was a great surprise, especially to hear that large scale (1/4) is thriving. I am thinking of getting back to cars also ( inaddition to my planes), but need some info on what the giant scale cars are like, especially the monster trucks. Some links to resellers would be helpful also. My primary area of interest in monster trucks.

Thanks guys

http://www.molzermoweryracing.com/ sells and distributes 1/6 scale FG Monster trucks that most guys on this forum seem to be running these days. It's based off the FG Marder 1/6 scale buggy.

I don't know of anyone who is mass producing 1/4 scale monster trucks anymore. New Era Models used to but i believe they stopped producing them years ago. There are a couple of guys on here who have scratch built their own 1/4 scalers though.

Hope that helps, feel free to ask if you have anymore questions.

You've got the MCD Monster Truck, 4WD. £1000, plus you'll need a engine and all radio gear ontop of that.
