Which one?
 
1 Attachment(s)
ok I THINK I want a 1/8 truggy (for like $400)
because I am tired of my tornado breaking
I know Redcat is great and all but which is tougher and just all round better ?
I want it though and fast;)
I am not going to buy it right away but i always like to plan ahead and really look up on what I am getting
so vote wisely

I've heard good things about the ST-1, there's a review on the Monsson on RCU if you're interested though.

only reason i would go with the redcat is b/c of the parts avalability and the good suport. there basicaly the same truggy;)

rtr? sweet man go for it, they're tough as nails! soo fast, fantasic suspension geometery the lot! the engine even has a fair bit of poke!

dominicevans 03-23-2008 07:16 PM

RE: Which one?
 
but i was just reading the "official" thread for it and it seems like the engine is junk

adam-69 03-23-2008 07:18 PM

RE: Which one?
 
oh its junk alright, youll maybe get a gallon out of it tops, and that will be at 350 degrees, but it still gives power at that temp lmaoo.

RE: Which one?
 
I just read a post that said you need to remove the silver shim if your goin to run less than %30

adam-69 03-23-2008 07:25 PM

RE: Which one?
 
oh, didnt know that ;). i just burnt the **** outta mine lmaoo. then i got a decent go. mill jammed into her! lol.

dominicevans 03-23-2008 07:30 PM

RE: Which one?
 
so I take it that you were running less than %30
anyways what engine did you replace it with? and how much was it?

adam-69 03-23-2008 07:32 PM

RE: Which one?
 
25 lol. at first i put a go tec .28 3p in that i had sitting arround and it was fine, and yesterday i had my first race on my new go .28 6port, boy oh boy does it fly! was beating everything else on speed, shame i cant drive lmaoo.

dominicevans 03-23-2008 07:34 PM

RE: Which one?
 
oh ok lol
how much $$ would it take for a decent engine?

adam-69 03-23-2008 07:36 PM

RE: Which one?

that will kill anything and everything lol (requires a starter box), you gonna get one/have one?

dominicevans 03-23-2008 07:54 PM

RE: Which one?
 
hmm uhh i have a roto start [:o][:o]
what about those axial engines??

adam-69 03-23-2008 07:57 PM

RE: Which one?
 
oh yeh, from what i hear axial are good now, i have no experience so dont hold me to that but i think they're pretty good. i would ask someone else about them first though lol. you really should be ok with the stock engine for a while, guy at my tracks been racing his for 3-4 months now and its holding up fine, i really got more than a gallon out of mine that was exagerating, but you certainly wont make it last forever...

dominicevans 03-23-2008 07:59 PM

RE: Which one?
 
ohh ok kool because I was starting to think that buy a hyer st would be worst(expensive) than it seemed to be

adam-69 03-23-2008 08:04 PM

RE: Which one?
 
it should be good to go out of the box, drop in a 6v battery and a failsafe and your sweet!, oh and some diff oil lol.

dominicevans 03-23-2008 08:06 PM

RE: Which one?
