Default Best Bang For Your Buck Truck..

Sorry to post a thread like this but I have been out of the Monster Truck loop for too long now.

A friend of mine is looking to spend between 2 and 4 hundred to get set up on a 4x4 monster truck. What would be your top recommendations for this amount of money?

Thanks in advance guys! Pete

Is he looking for one with or without reverse? I perfer the Losi Aftershock. You can get one for about $400. If you really look you can find them cheaper then that new, but it doesn't have reverse.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am going to have to say that he DOES want reverse.

well then... the Team Associated MGT 4.6, Traxxas T-max 2.5 . I would go with the MGT.

Just my Opinion.

This truck meets all the requirements you listed, and is an awesome little truck for the money:

Id rather have its bigger brother, the MGT 4.6, but it is $410, so it just depends on the budget, but the 3.0 listed above is an awesome bang for the buck. Very strong truck for the money.

Dont forget tower almost always has a $20-30 discount code on their home page at the top. I know they have $25 off right now, and $10 standard shipping, so actually about $395 shipped which isnt a bad deal at all, just depends on the budget.
