I'm getting my first nitro stadium truck. I'm deciding between these 3 trucks. I've heard a lot of good things about the MT2 & the MT2 18SS, but not much about the Kyosho TR15. Which is the better truck? (Please reply, I want everyone's opion.)

hpi, hpi ,hpi. The HPI's have more support, hop-ups and they are four wheel drive. The 18SS is fast to!

What is the best one for race? I've heard that the 18SS dosn't have a racing class, is that true?

neither one has a race class

stay away from Kyosho's trucks unless you wanna spend grande money on making it NOT suck.

i would suggest the mt2 rtr for your first truck than the 18ss you will have about $100 to $300 more into it depending on radio selection and servo`s and all the support equipment

i agree

hmmm...well, money isn't really an issue. It's kind of a birthday present, my parents pay for half, I pay for half. After reading a lot of threads I think I'd rather get the SS. 52zmaster2001 what radio & servos did you buy for your 18SS?

do you have any driving experince driving high performance rc?

the radio in the picture is not what is installed and the truck is the 18SS and i have put titanium turnbuckles on it with rpm long cups they dont make any yet because it uses 67mm lenght ones but i used some from one of my T4 there 60mm that is why i had to use the long rpm ball cups and a tuned pipe since the picture was taken,the radio i have is futaba 3PM TFS synthesized radio and a novak xxtra synthesized receivers with hitec 645 steering servo and a hitec 625 throttle servo the throttle servo you can get away with any std servo i used a stock one till my new ones got here plus you can use this radio for other rc`s if you buy receiver and crystals or more synthesized receivers i use this same radio for my FT T4 and TeamB4 and my ofna 9.5mbx violator

Yes, I have some experience driving high performance RC's. I drove my brother's Rustler all the time before he sold it.
