Any opinions on this monster truck. Looking to get one for my youngest son. I saw one on the net and thought it looked pretty cool and seems most reviews were good. Anyone know about it? Good/Bad etc...

I had the 1/8 version, and it was a good, solid - above all tough truck.. The stock HB 26 sucked, but that's beside the point..

Ultimate Hobbies had them for 200 bucks shipped, which would be about the most I would pay.. Especially when you know all along that amain still has the TT ST-1 for €280 or so...

If you're totally set on this truck, I would bet it would be a fun, reliable truck.. Hot Bodies stuff is "oudated", but solid and reliable in my experience...

For the money though, I'd get the ST-1...

Guess its not very popular.

from what I have read and seen they are really good, prob going to be one of my next rc's.

Well thats good because I bought one anyways. It looks to be very solid truck. Thanks.

Post pics, vids, and comments...

Then when the next guy comes along with the same question you had, we'll have somewhere to point him to... Plus I'm just curiousmyself..

Oh I will. I am excited about this truck because it looks to be very well built and just the idea of a MT on a truggy type chassis says it must handle good. I will keep posted though. I should have it by the weekend. Oh and I only paid 200 for it new. Cant beat that!

i also paid 199 from ultimate hobbies last year it runs great holds a tune no problems at all its old reliable i have 20 plus cars and trucks this one always runs great and cant remember ever having to fix any thing its also fast i races some guy with a hpi mt with a .15 his truck was tuned good i freaking left him like he was standing still if there is any thing i would change would maybe go down 1 tooth on the clutch bell maybe its just me im spoiled with my 1/8 buggies and truggies taking off like rockets beleive me this truck for what it is is one tuff and fast little beast good luck keep me posted also when i told the guy with the hpi how much i paid he was pissed im no kid im 51 i know when something is worth the money

where did you get it for 200 my freind was asking me to keep a look out for something with a good price in the future look on ultimate hobbies site i got some really good buys from them look on holidays they seem to run super specials then especially at nite

I got mine from ebay. The guy had 2 of them but I just looked adn the other is sold. You can get the stadium 10 sport truggy for about 200 also. Same truck but with truggy wheels and body.

i dlnt think its the same my truck has 8 shocks and roto start with a .18 engine that sport is a cheaper version of the old stadium truck i have the lightning gt 10 with the big wheels with the chevron tires

twomanytoys

Thats the same one I got.

I got mine for christmas from an ebay store called Hopmeup,187$ on sale.Yes,its the one with the roto start and .18 sized motor,The motor has a ton of power and this thing is FAST for a single speed.The engine holds a tune very well and break in was easy as pie. The only thing iv broken was the rear shock tower (while doing front-flips the body came off and the posts snagged the ground) and a front CVD.If you nudge a small bump it will wheelie.This truck is just simply amazing! P.S. this thing flies great!

Its set up alot like my sona 1/8 scale redcat avalanche and that thing impresses me more and more every time I see it. If its anything like that then Im sure I will like it.

twomanytoys

Well I received the GT10 today and I have to say that this is one of the best looking and very well built 1/10 scale monster trucks that I have seen. HPI did a good one on this one but not sure why this truck is not a popular truck. It looks to be soo much better than my t maxx

My Feedback: (1)

i think mostly because hobby shops don't have much hot bodies stuff, at least around here they don't. they do carry hpi, traxxas, and losi.

i have the gt 10 and the 1/8 lightning stadium pro rtr both are made really nice they both just feel right really dont need anything i just saw the lightning 2 buggy for 219.00 on ultimates special site that is tempting but my wife is on my case i went nuts this past winter if she see's another car come to the front door i maybe going out the front door you guys got me pumped up i pulled out the gt 10 charged the receiver pack it fired right up i barely had to turn the needle 1/12 tested the temp a few `times i was blasting up and down my block just thinking this thing cranks especialy for a little 3.0 i think it could keep with a few of my 1/8 buggies

twomanytoys

Really looking over it I am very pleased with the quality and pretty much everything I read is that they are very quick for a 1/10 scalt MT. Cant wait to get it broke in.

when you start to use it dont adjust the suspension try it as it comes it really woks nice its really hard to flip on pavement i was so impressed with it at one time i was going to try to put 2.2 tires on it with a car body and change the gearing i thougt it would make a nice kind of rally car or dirt oval racer

Oh it also does some of the best donuts...EVER!

bronx boy

im going to put a paris stiletto pipe on my gt 10 also may try one less tooth on the clutch bell will let you guys know how it works i am looking for a little more grunt in the low end
