hey, im looking for a truggy to get into racing and bashing. im new at this and i have around $400. what could i get rtr in this price range to get me started off???

twomanytoys

There are alot of good truggies out there. The absolute truggy for the price is a TTR ST1. They are 299 at A Main hobbies. Dont get fooled by the price. Its not a cheap knock off truggy. Just a great truggy at a great price.

jumpanddrop

thats funny. i cont find it on that site. is this a 1/8 or 1/10 scale???? sounds like a good price. could you give me a link???

jumpanddrop

oh and how dose this compare to the redcat monsoon??

My Feedback: (1)

It's a 1/8 scale.

twomanytoys

Dont get me wrong the Monsoon is great but for the price the st1 is better. Look up Thunder Tiger st1. If I did not get the st1 for the 299 deal I would have got the Monsoon. Here is a link.

Guys.!

Stop confusing him lol.!!

jumpanddrop, firstly look at whats your parts support will be like, you do not wanna end up with a truck that you cant get parts for locally..

Second, look at what you like the most... Theres nothing worse than owning something you do not like.

And third.

Hyper ST.!

the only hobbie shop anywhere around here carries only HPI and redcat. are these any good?? if not i gess ill just have to order all my parts.

nitro.rc.racer

HPI is great redcat=redcrap

twomanytoys

nitrorc,

I bet you dont know anything about the Monsoon let alone ever seen one. The Monsoon is far from crap. Its a great starter truggy with lost of potential to be a great racer.

vnmsgt

So redcat=redcrap. That's funny when you own a XTM mammoth that might as well be a boat anchor instead of a wannabe truggy or monster truck and I see you also own a inferno 7.5 buggy which the Hurricane is almost a direct copy so I guess that is a kyosho crap right? And also a RD Logics SHO, hmmm I bet people have more Redcat Hurricanes than that thing which is a good buggy but I bet harder to get parts for than a redcat and I chose my hurricane over the SHO and that was after seeing the SHO up close. Only thing better on that is the milled chassis and that is it! Oh and I have either seen or owned all of the above so I am speaking from experience and not out of my *****!

vnmsgt

You do care!! LOL!

twomanytoys

Of course. I have to stick up for my fellow redcat owners. I still like my st1 though expecially with the new LRP. ITS SICK!!!!!!! Monsoon eater!!!!!

vnmsgt

LMAO!!

ericem

LMAO!!

nitro.rc.racer

im sorry but id take xtm over redcat any day and have you drivin the sho and for the kyosho its not crap but redcat is for trying to copy it and how many other people do you see only running redcat doesnt that say somthing and so what if youv seen all of the above i have too and iv also noticed you didnt have anything bad to say about the associated or my savage but im getting rid of my mammoth to get a hobao hyper st and the only reason iv gotten the sho is because of parts avlability and because experiance everyone else had with one. so shuv it with your cheap redcrap re-makes

vnmsgt

I never said kyosho was crap, just going by you saying redcat is and the hurricane practically is a kyosho 7.5, I own a ST-RR so I know kyosho is good. I dont really have any experience with a savage or associated so I did not say anything about them and would not unless I did. Well you might have a SHO dealer near you so it would be good to get it and get parts easily but it did not impress me that much. As far as you Mammoth, good choice on getting rid of it because it is a tank and only good if you want to bash but not for long becuase mine always fell apart. Good choice on the Hyper ST, I have Pro and it is a awesome truggy, you will love it.

I almost forgot, my redcats are to big for me to shuv it. Sorry

nitro.rc.racer

sorry about the shuv it comment but im getting rid of the xtm because it breaks every time i run it and that sucks

twomanytoys

Well the redcat dont break every time we run them so that must say something about them.

vnmsgt

No problem but, EXAAAAACTLY what you said on the XTM. I hated it! LOL

nitro.rc.racer

Well the only xtm with major problems is the one i have so that got me away from getting any more xtm cars so now i dont have any good comments to say about xtm products but when iv gotten the sho i didnt know what to think but it can be a great racer probaly only because its a mugen/ofna copycat buggie

BIGAIRBEN

WOW... Does it really matter...Because everyone knows that there is a big differents between racing and bashing ..So there for you will not see to many people racing Redcat.. There is different strokes for different fokes ...But Redcats are far from crap. Thay may not be up to true race potential but you have to start somewhere..I have also watched and seen with my own eyes a friend of mine do very well with a redcat buggy in a offical club race and with a few up grades can compete with all the big boys..It all really comes down to the green $$$$$$ ....???to ask yourself will I race it or bash It?

vnmsgt

oh wise one you have spoken.[sm=sleeping.gif]
