Ok, I will be able to come up with $250-$350 in a few months from now. What should i get with it, I'm kinda leaning to a MT of some kind or a Stadium truck. One other thing, i have a buggy. Should i just buy alu. parts for it or just get another car.

It dont matter to me im just wandering what you guys would get?

It depends on what you intend to do with it....and what kind of driving you enjoy. If your looking for a rig that can handle just about any terrain....then I would vote on an MT. If you want similar performance but out of an off road rig.....two wheel drive....then I would vote on a Stadium truck.

Just be sure to have fun!


Good Luck!

350 cant get a t-maxx, neither a savage.

if i was you, i would sell the buggy, then combine all the money

for a good MT with upgrades.

Well, you see, I love that damn buggy. Lol im just waitting for a new pull cord assembaly then im ganna wait till its at least in the high 30's here to start it back up and try to adjust it.

If i have to i can wait another 2 or 3 months for a good MT.
I kind of just want the mt instead of a stadium truck now that i think about it. I was even thinking about a plane, but hey my dad has a old trainer plane that i could probly have. After all he now has a new astro hog plane or something like that.

So, I was thinking about the T-Maxx cause my friend has a savage and i dont like getting the same thing as him cause we always do that. I was also thinking of the Terra Crusher or the new CEN MT 2 fun factor but i dont think i would get that not to many people know about it, but hey its an idea.

I just wondering what truck you think I should get. Thanks for your time

LandShark

if you really like the buggy, not going to sell it. then wait.

just wait for the BFT's release, and see what it can do.

Sound like you really have fun with the buggy. So I would keep if I was you. Remember it's all about having fun, so if you have fun with the buggy keep it. Just wait a few more month and get a MT. Remember as long as you have fun that is all that counts.

Here is my suggestion, and we all know it's not that good sometimes I would say, keep the buggy and wait till a Sportmaxx comes out. It will be about $100 cheaper than a 2.5 T maxx. The only differences are 1. It's Cheaper 2. It does not have reverse 3. It only has a one speed transmission 4. It is 2 wheel drive.

All the rest of the parts are exactly the same as the 4WD T Maxx 2.5. The Gearbox on the Sportmaxx is the same as the T Maxx, just has different gears on the inside. If I remember correctly I will be coming out sometime in March. I know Tower Hobbies says Late March. I was considering doing this, but just got to anxious and wanted a MT. Now all I have to do is wait for it to be delivered.

There will be aftermarket add ons so later down the road you can add Reverse, 4WD, and the 2 speed transmission. Once you do that it will be exactly the same as if you bought a T Maxx. The sportmaxx also has the famed TRX 2.5 engine, so you won't have to worry about an upgrade there.

I hope this helps and let us know what you decide ......

Buy a used maxx 2.5, there getting to be some out there, and if you wait long enough they will get cheaper and youll have more money

I know I an going against all that I know But Who says it has to be a nitro vehicle. Why not buy a e-maxx or another electric truck like the TXT-1 by tamiya. I have one of those and they can keep up with some of the best nitro truck. What am I saying......Go with new or used savage. Who cares if you have the same truck. it just proves that you have really good tastes. I mean no disrispect to the t-maxxes out there.

OK here it is, I can solve your problem. No need to get a headache worrying about what you should buy. Are you ready for good medicine. You can just send me the money and I will purchase a good one for you. hahahah.

Go out and buy a case of beer and some cheap women and EEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR sorry about that, wrong forum!!!!!!

No, really I would just wait and get the Savage or T-Maxx. Between now and June you should be able to save a $100 and then you can get which one you want. You will not regret it.

Alteramod

Yup, thats what i was planing on doing.
I have about 3 bucks right now, and between now and the end of june I should be able to make 25-400. If i dont have enough then I can go get some mowing jobs to make small money that would add up fast

If you have my luck you'll have just enough to keep your buggy running.

OK, I have a T-MAXX and I really enjoy it. It is a 1/10 scale and the savage is a 1/8 scale so the savage is larger. The T-MAXX is fast and very durable ( I have rollled mine dozens of times on dirt and asphalt andf have not broke anything yet) If you are planning on racing on a road course you will never use all its speed. From what I have seen the1/8 scale trucks don't roll as easy and perform better on turns for that reason. Either way I was checking them out before I purchased mine. The reason I chose the maxx was it was in stock. I was also looking at the new ofna titan but could not get any reviews on it as for its new. The only one I was told stay away from was the Kyosho. Also the t maxx has lots of hoppups and parts are easy to get. Hope this helps. Tony
