$550 Out The Door
 
Hey Guys,Ive been readin alot here and found some good info on a few trucks Im interested in. My friend runs a Mammoth and I want to get a truck this week,break it in and go bashing. My truck will strickly be a basher and there will be no raceing involved.
As in my title I'd like to spend bout $550 OTD. Thats fuel,a couple plugs,glow ignighter,and misc tools.
The trucks I like at the LHS is the HB Lightning ST, Sportwerks Mayhem ST, and GS ST Storm SUT.
Help me choose the best basher for the buck.
Please!
Thanks

Mayhem ST. I Have had mine for about a year now. Fast, tough, and VERY fun. Short wheel base makes it great for bashing too.....Never gets hung up on anything really.

Get the spektrum package....I got mine for 530$ out the door.

Hey Thanks...I have a Spektrum so I may opt for the other and save a lil. Spend it elsewhere..I dont remember how much the LHS had those for.

well, the non spek version is only 50$ less..... you could ebay the extra spek kit you recieve with it fot atleast 100 bucks I am sure :eek:

Just something to think about.

You could get the inferno st rtr truggy for 400.00, it has a digital airtronics radio, its called perfex radio. You could pick up a Jammin rtr truggy for about 500.00 bills off of ebay shipped, they are very hot i am told. The SUT storms, I own 2 of them, they are incrediblally bashable, very fast and easy to tune. They may not be the most race worthy although I never raced mine, but the durability is excellent, they come with a cheaper fm radio looks wise but the radio is excellent, no problems with glitching or anything.

good luck

I like the Gs Storm SUT its a great truck, my friend has one and not only is it about impossible to break, it won't flip for anything, i really like it, at my local track they were doing backflips off the big double, and with the right servos and tires they are raceable.
