I'm looking at getting onto nitro and would like to know what would be a good strong dependable truck. Im looking at the xtm excellorator the hot bodies lighting 10 the cen racing mg10mt . Anyother thoughts would be nice.

cool rc cars

the nitro x-cellerator is a great beginner truck. it is easy to control and goes fast. my first car was the jato 3.3, but it is exspensive and for advanced drivers.would not recomend it to beginners, but it is by far my favorite car.

HPI Firestorm all the way [8D]

traxxas while not being the cheapest or best could be considered the easiest for starting out

the glow ignitor and spin start are built into one unit, EZ start which I really liked

yanking on a pull start doesn't appeal to everyone, and other brands EZ start systems aren't as well thought out

xtm is a beginner car ? lol you gotta be kidding ... and the jato is for advanced drivers...
that just made my day

the x-cellerator is a competative st racing truck, you will never beat it with a jato on track

NitroNate

I,ll have to say Firestorm all the way!

cool rc cars

are you kidding!!!!!! do you know why jatos are banned from real races????? because they have such an advantage over cars such as an X-cellerator. bigger engines and way different gearing. that is why when you change an engine on a jato it is not a jato anymore. the x-cellerator is begginer by the ratings of ALL THE RC CAR COMPANIES. not to be an argument starter but it is true. they are not even in the same ranked class. if you tune a jato right, barley any cars can beat it. asociated is the one.

in my opinion HPI is the hardest to work on i work on RC cars to make spare change to help pay for football expenses and gas money track shoes ,etc ,etc but i have fixed only two HPI's and they were savages and i had to help a friend replace bent chassis and shock towers and it sucked it was so hard to put back together but i work on alot of my friends traxxas vehicles and they so far have been the easiest to fix everything just goes back together so easy but i have so far worked on nitro sport,rustler, stampede,t-maxx(most diffucult) but thats just my .02 but also my rustler takes a beating like no other and so does my bro JD t-maxx and S-maxx and we bash alot like backflips and everything and so far only had $250 dollars worth of expenses in about 3-4 months of bashings every chance we get but i suggest nitro sport if you wanna get a good starter.

NitroNate

I only spent 10 dollars in repairs with my firestorm and I had it for 5 months!I have done hard core bashing and have jumped 12ft. high and landed upside down from 12ft.,and guess what no damage![8D]

I am not trying to rub it in,but I couldn't stop myself from turning in my 2 cents.

RCUSEE

i would really like to race your jato, too bad we cant meet up anytime soon
if the jato would be such an advantage, alot of st pro drivers would drive a singlespeed .12 jato, ever thought about that ?

cool rc cars

it is a two speed. traxxas doesnt make one.

RCUSEE

i dont think it would be a problem installing a singlespeed but lets end this here
