the st2 is the stadium truck...the mt2 is the monster truck. I have the MT2 and I can tell you it is an extremely durable truck, as fast as lightning.

ehobbies $279. And it has fixed the problems of the first batch, better engine, spider gears....hell I wish I had waited now!!

At that price....probably not. That is a very low price. Ehobbies is a good store. That is where I get my MT2 stuff.

try ebay, lots of bashers there, got a rustler there and put mashers on it, took it off 4 foot walls and all, nothing has killed this truck. but expect the usual dings and snaps that happens with every truck. in other words...you bash, you break! thats half the fun, nothing is indestrucable when bashing. i have a rustler nitro, a mt nitro and a tmaxx nitro, all are great trucks, but there is always that unexpected rock, limb, ledge... just get extra parts like shocks, a-arms, like that , its all fun!!!!

evader st. if you already have fuel then you buy absolutely nothing else, it comes with it. it is durable too. I hit a fence going about 25 clicks and all I did was pop off the steering buckles, I re-attached both of them in about 10 seconds with the car still runing then drove off.

My first nitro (2yrs ago) was an AE RC10GT it does great on well manicured grass its a 2WD though, as far as longer grass it'll just peel out because she'll get stuck without the 4WD [] Thats why I brought a MT to go through everything [>:] I was looking at the HB lightning Stadium that seems to be a decent ST at a decent price

My Garage:
AE RC10GT
HPI Savage 25
XTM's X-Terminator

I bash with a number of folks who have a number of vehicles.... As for durability of the Evader, I put it low on the list. Everytime my buddy hits anything, something breaks.... I am sure that yours is "indestructable" and you "never break anything" but bash with some guys with RC10s or Rustlers (who undeservingly get a bad rap) or MTs (like my savage) and see what I mean. I think that the Evader is a GREAT truck, you probably get the most for your money, but it is too frail. Search for the user Amsterdamn on here, we are friends. His Evader is now ALL aluminum because one at a time, each thing has broken, most several times, until he decided to go aluminum. He hasn't run it much since then but....

All this in addition to the fact that the Evader uses 32P CB/Spur which means you can run RC10 spurs, but you are S.O.L. for finding anything but that 15tooth stock bell. The Evader buggy runs a 17t CB that is 32P but it doesn't work with the truck's clutch [:@] It seems the only way to change bells is buy an entire aftermartket clutch/flywheel combo, but then you are in another pinch because you will need a spur to fit the different pitch, and all RC10 are 32P or higher (that I have seen), and the Evader parts are 32P.... This alone is a huge PITA.

Sorry for going off-topic, but if any of you have found standard pitch spurs that will bolt on and go for the Evader, PLEASE let me know.
