A option?
Okay I led to belive myself that I was going to get a Thunder Tiger ST-1 untill....I went onto my LHS which is more or less my Local Rc shop's website and I noticed this [link=http://www.larrysperformancercs.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=PRPKATAST&type=store]this[/link] Now what do you think about that?

RE: A option?
Im hoping that the Rc shop has the ST-1. THe only reason I cant really get it online is cause I need to put it on layaway and my Dad doesnt like me trying to buy stuff online. Plus i like to be able to look at it in person before its bought. Its a weird thing with me.

RE: A option?
no do not get that power racing truck!!!!!!!. if you look at it it has the old t-maxx tires on it that are very heavy. it has a 2 speed which is only good in a straight line and for speed. power racing is not very good stuff. do what ever you have to to convince your dad that the thunder tiger st-1 is the one to get. i've had just about all of them out there and the st-1 is very,very good quality and the price can't be beat.

Who cares credit card companies insure fraud. So paypal isn't really needed unless you want to send cash to someone other then a business.

ok drifting but I think this way you could end up paying sooo much more for the truck. but a loss of 1800.00 is a pretty respectable scare tactic. good luck with that you will like the truck at well could be 700.00 (towers price) or you could absolutely LOVE the truck at 300.00 in any event have fun.

RE: A option?
yea now I c why you dont like online shopping $1800 is a pritty big amount..................... but I have ordered like 50000 things from amain and all came as expected..... your LHS will prob sell the TT ST-1 for $500+ if they have it...... but what ever floats you boat. and dont buy that power racing truck it does look just like my t-maxx accept that 1 is bigger............. just my 2 cents.[8D]

RE: A option?

but I its not a huge trip down to the rc shop even though its a good hour away from my house because we buy dog food at the pet shop near it lol. Oh and one more question on about a truggy.... is this one http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/13167 any good....like im just woundering if Hot Bodies is a decent quality truggy maker

I have bought plenty of things recently from Amain, including 2 Thunder Tiger ST1s, a Hyper ST wing kits, wings, steering knuckles..... everything came as expected not a bad thing to say about Amain. My Hyper actually had a leaky shock from the factory and Amain offered to fix the problem if OFNA didnt!!! you dont get that kind of customer service very much anymore. and if you want an english muffin, they literally hand you a muffin with butter and jam..... oh wait thats Gecko.
