Nitro Truck Suggestions L@@k PLZ!!!!
 
Ive been lookin for a really long time to buy a nitro truck. Ive been looking for a lot of things but i really want one of these. But heres the catch I NEED MONEY!!!!!!!!!! I only have around 150 to 200 $ to spend and i just want it to be the best 200$ ive ever spent! I want the truck to be raised off the ground a little bit so it can run over anything in its way. I dont know if a four wheel drive truck would be better or a two wheel drive. This is why i need help im a noob.. Also I want it to have some speed! Ive been looking and i kind of like the stampede. It needs to be durable also! I have no idea if thats a good choice but you tell me. I need suggestions!!!!!!

Please Write Back Any suggestions are accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thnx!!!

It's discontinued. If you need something cheap, get a Stampede XL-5 and upgrade it to brushless power when you can afford it. It will be fast enough to satisfy you until your driving skills improve.

he wants a nitro truck. Maybe a nitro rustler would be good. You budget is very small and it will be hard to get a big 4wd truck on that. So prolly need to stick to a Staduim trucks such as the rustler. The stampede might be good but no one has them in nitro forum so i have heard nothing about them. [:@]

The only problem is they are both about 300...

hey i dont think you want to start with nitro as your first rc...i did and i hated it i was confused all the time and started hating the rc hobby right away...that was with my nitro evader st...then i got bored with the nitro for a while and got a vendetta st and made it brushless w/lipo...i hated how small and quiet it was being electric and only 1/18th..so i saved and saved money until FINALLY a week ago i bought me a team losi aftershock! nitro mts are the best! :D the moral of my story is buy a small electric and get used to driving and tuning it and upgrading it then when you think your ready get a nitro. :)

I have a lot of rc experience. I think. lol. I have a evader ext and i have an old stampede truck but i just want something with some speed. Im sick of looking around for brushless systems for both and i just want something stock that will satisfy me. I also have a sklfly and a nitro trainer plane. Do you guys think the nitro rustler 2.5 would be good for me. I saw som one ebay buy it now 140. Plz check them out and tell me id they suck or if there good.

Thnx

You aren't going to get people to reply to you about selling trucks here. It's against RCU policy to discuss the buying/selling/trading of trucks, parts, etc. on the public boards. Head over to the market place, or even better go hit up ebay. Also Irock, having a nitro as a first R/C is no different than having electric as a first. It all depends on your mechanical ability, your patience, and your ability to find out how to fix things yourself. Or you can be one of those morons that heads over to the LHS every time they lose a screw off their truck. My suggestion to you Rc freak, is to save up another two-hundred bucks for a decent truck. In this hobby, you get what you pay for...
