I need a truck to drive around with. I built a track and need something to drive on it (right now I only have a touring car). I am looking into either a monsoon or avalanche. How does handling compare? Is the avalanche easy to flip? how fast are they in comparison? Acceleration? Any help is appreciated. What could I do to increase top speed without decreasing low end. Thanks.

as far as running them on the track, the monsoon would be better. Lower center of gravity, and the tires are smaller. Add some dif fluid, change out clutchbell(should be here soon) and your set.

I agree, the monsoon would be better if you want to run on the track more than in the yard. The avalanche is more of a basher to have fun with wherever you happen to be. but on the track go with the monsoon, change out what clermont hobby said which is what I have done except for the clutch bell (I am waiting) lol, and you will not be disappointed.
