It depends on your budget, what you plan to do with it, bash it or race it.

Hi out there. I'm a new member to this forum but am hoping to get along with you all.
Ive been dabbling in boat building with nitros for a while then have since moved into electric cars with my son.
I'm from Australia and I am looking for some information on a Pirate 10 (Ofna).
I just bought the thing on e-bay last week but it is still missing some parts as it was a display model.
I know this is a deleted model for about 7 years but i found a place to get parts fairly readily, but i need an assembly manual so i know what parts to order. Can anyone help?

The ST-1 supposedly handles like a jammin crt. Other's say it outhandles it. I say I love my ST-1 since its ONLY $275!! for such a high quality kit.

I just ordered my truggy and did a lot of research on which one to buy. I had a $600 budget. I decided to get the Thunder Tiger ST-1 because it seemed like a great deal ($299 on Amain - $25 discount). I found many good review and positive comments on the forums. Best of all, I still have money left over to personilze it with any parts I want.

With some fine tuning the TTr handles awsome, its light and its built like a tank. Good choice. You will love it. Maybe the most underrated truggy out!

Get a Nitrage. Or if that dosent 'float your boat'

Get a TT St1

But whats your budget, what do you plan to do with it.

Budgets the most important, otherwise we can all go saying get an 8ight T........
