first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
I need some help with a few nitro stadium trucks. which one is the best for the price and speed? i really like the gt2 i think that that might be the one.

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
well what price range are u looking at?

I picked the xxx-nt sport II. It's fast, 45MPH, and has the Losi Spin Start so you won't need a pull start. And it comesw with a keeper radio for $50 more than the GT2. The GT2's radio is a no name Jagugar.

i would prefer the rustler it is very easy to work on and is very fast! it might cost a little more but it money well spent trust me.

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
okay my price range is 300 or under.

I voted other:Firestorm!The reason I voted for the Firestorm is because I have one and I can trust it.It takes a lot of abuse,even when it lands upside down at 12ft.or do a cartwheel at 40 mph.My cousin has had his firestorm for 7months now and has not yet broken anything!I have had mine for 5months and have only spent 10$ in replacment parts!It sure beats paying over a hundred dollars in repairs for a s-maxx.[:'(]

The firestorm is also the only stadium truck I know of to have a .18 engine.

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
yes but i dont know if my hobby shop carries parts for the firestorm and yes the nitro evader has a .18 and i think a couple others do also. but how much does the firestorm cost?

i chose the losi because ive had the xxxnt and the gt2 and the losi is just faster on the track for me. i won the first race i ever entered with it. a main.

xxx nt i love mine...........parts are cheap easy 2 find and the thing is stronger than the rc10gt2 by far!!!!!!!!!!

NitroNate 01-28-2008 09:15 AM

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
The firestorm is 250$ at towerhobbies.

Sorry,I forgot about the evader.Its pretty easy to forget about other STs if you have one thats as great as the firestorm.lol:D

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
I voted other as well, Firestorm ftw ;)

but the evader is good as well, upto you, depends if you can get the spare parts for each truck that you want.

fusebmx13 01-28-2008 03:17 PM

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
yea i think that it is a toss up between the nitro evader or the firestorm. my friend has a rc10gt2 and it is fast but it already broke. but he had it for a month now. i like the nitro evader and the firestorm because they are both 250 in my case that is pretty cheap. but now i need to call up the LHS and see if they have some parts for both cars.

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
the rc10 is a very good car... if you want to break things, they'll brake

fusebmx13 01-28-2008 07:15 PM

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
ha lol okay thanks but i still don really know. i need some people out there with a nitro evader to help me out.

also what will i need forthe firestorm to get it running? could you send me some links? i will probably use 20% right? i know i need a glow starter but which ones work? links would help.

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
I havent voted cos I have only run the Firestorm so cant compare them.

It was my first RC and Im well pleased with it. Havent managed to break anything on it yet (even after some pretty spectacular crashes and rolls). Its easy to work on, its been an ideal first RC for me.

Encouraged me onto my first build (Hyper St Pro)

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
sweet, i am probably gonna just get like some tools for it while school is going on but when summer comes im gonna try to buy one. then i will have all the stuff i need for it.

I noticed you don't have a hpi truck yet.You should add a H igh P owered I ndestructable truck to your fleet.The Firestorm is a good truck to experience.I'd love to post a video,but I don't know how to yet.

fusebmx13 01-29-2008 09:23 PM

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
i just post videos on youtube and show a link.

and i have a hpi micro rs4 that i got for 100 bucks. half price at my hobby shop. i gave them trouble about it because it was different on the site and they gave it to me. but i dont have an HPI truck. i will probably get the firestorm. it looks fast and tough. all i have to do is be able to out run a rc10gt2 and be tougher. lol Robbie if you are reading this, BRING IT. lol j/k i love driving ur truck.

2 trucks are race breed, 5 trucks are bashers. One is not designed to compete with the other. Racing- GT2 or XXXNT/AD2 both very close. Basher- buy what your LHS stocks parts for. Try and decide bash or race you will spend $$ more wisely.
Race vehichles can bash but more fragile. Bashers can race but built in flex( to reduce breakage) make them not race friendly.
And if its only about speed find a second hand AE FTGT go to New era on line and get .21 conversion or buy Shumaker gas truck comes with .21

fusebmx13 01-30-2008 06:07 PM

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
well is the firestorm a racer or basher?

NitroNate 01-30-2008 08:33 PM

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
Both,but a little more on the bash side.

fusebmx13 01-31-2008 06:29 PM

RE: first nitro help, WHICH ONE?????
 
yea well a basher is fine for me because there is a track named St. Louis Dirt Burners 30 minutes away from my house. but i wouldnt really go all that much.
