Hi guys, I'm usualy on a forum all about traxxas rc's, but i now would like to get a nitro rc monster truck. The problem is, i can only spend at the most $250 for the truck.

Thanks!

RE: Cheap+good quality
good quality and cheap are not things that generally go hand in hand when it comes to nitro r/c,if its new and cheap you can bet the company that produces it has cut corners some where.IMO,i would take the 250 and buy a used r/c from a mainstream company(HPI,LOSI,TRAXXAS)

By the Time you Add Batts/Charger/Fuel .....Plus The Parts that Break.......It Adds up Quick and $250 won't buy much of a Truck.......

Now if you've had a Nitro before and knew what to Expect.......You could buy a Used Truck like this..... http://lstforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=10332
But I don't like to recommend a Used Truck to a Newb as they can be a Big PITA if your not sure what to Look for.......

If your new I would start with used and hope it comes with parts. It's easy to break parts even when you know what your doing. Hope you like working on stuff
it's almost as fun as killing them[>:]
