Default How Many Monster Trucks do You Currently Own?

I was wondering how many people own multiple monster trucks, and why?

I own 6.
A 25 savage
A Dirt demon
A TNX
A MGT
A Dominator
A Losi LST

I also have a truggie gs storm, a cen MT, but I classify monsters by size.

My reasons for owning 6, Im always looking for better performance, I like different design styles, and the way each has its own unique character, and you never get bored driving the same one. they are great, and its fun working on and running the different trucks!!!

Hi, right now I have about 30, I am hardcore into 8scale nitro .21+ sized engine kits (big blocks... for big boys). My favorite kits are low production kits, I personaly like the nitro kits that not everyone has or can have. I really wish there were more limited production kits out, I would own them all.

10scale electric

1 Clod Buster
1 USA-1 elc
3 EXT elc Thunder Kings

10scale nitro... PSYCHO TRUCKS

1 EXT Baja King
2 EXT Thunder Kings

8scale nitro

1 AE MGT LTD
1 X Factor
1 Mammoth
1 Titan Deluxe
1 Twin Titan LTD
1 Dominator
1 Twin Monster Pirate
1 Dirt Demon
1 USA-1 Nitro
1 Thunder Quake
1 Pirate M-3 ST
1 Blazer SST
1 Hodr Pro DTM
1 Twin Monster Blazer
3 Nitro Baja Kings LTD (track racers)
3 Nitro Thunder Kings LTD (M/J trucks)

1 Losi M/T (pre ordered) coming
1 Raptor M/T (pre ordered) coming

I got some other kits in boxes just for parts and projects, planning on getting the new Kyosho Twin m/t and new Ofna blazer next.

I just like to collect all the cool new 8scale kits out now, I have been into 8scale from basicly almost the begining of when I got into the hobby about 15+ years back. I have certain (old school) kits that I like to run more than others because I like to have top performance and be able to BEAT/THRASH on them, true "flat pan" kits are my first loves. The other type kits I just like to buzz once and a while but not abuse them, some non pan kits just make better shelf queens lol.

8scale nitro... everything else is just junk

Two.

Traxxas E-Maxx with Pro-Line upgrades (Uncompleted project).
4 hour old Traxxas Revo.

I'll probably pick up a few upgrades before I run my Revo. Pullstart, FOC, new body, new rims/tires, etc.

Only bought the Revo because of no parts support for the TNX, which was my first choice.

And I thought I had alot of rc cars & trucks!! I have about 22 0r 23 total a mix of sedans, stadium trucks, buugies, and misc smaller monsters Hpi mt, and cen Mt. I really like the last 2 you can cuff the crap out of them, and they will take it. Going from a big monster truck to a stadium truck, is like getting out of your family sedan and getting into a formula one car!

I have 3 + 2! I have a full Supermaxx, 2 XTM converted Maxx's and a Nitro Stampede and a MT Pro. The last 2 I don't think you can call "Monster Trucks".

Boss, why no savage/tmaxx in your otherwise comprehensive list?
Hi ahab, I had a new sav.21 in the box but sold it right away when I seen the .25 sav coming out, I was then going to wait because I thought HPI would maybe be offering another version of the sav but then PRP came out with there raptor which I liked just as much if not more because it already had things like a longer wheelbase, bigger engine and so on so I bought one instead. If HPI comes out with something new other than there current m/t kit, I am sure I will buy it. The sav is a great kit too, I am just looking for something a bit diffrent now because I got the raptor coming.

As far as the t maxx or any Traxxas product is concerned, I have had MANY diffrent Traxass products in the past and really was not that impressed with any of them (especialy when I got into other better quality 8scale kits). AT this point Traxxas does not even make a "big block " 8scale truck kit so untill they do I would NEVER consider owning a Traxxas product again. For me going back to a .15 size engine 10scale kit like what is in the t maxx and revo for me would be like going backwards in my hobby...

I look at it like this... if I drive a "corvette=8scale"... why would I want to go back to driving a "chevette=10scale"

In there stock form, traxxas products just don't have the grunt, power, speed or dependability or durability for what I am use to having in my 8scale nitro kits.
