Default Monsoon or RXT-1?

which do you prefer?

Pros/Cons?

Motor:
Monsoon = SH.28
RXT-1 = ? (what is it?)

Weight:
Monsoon = ?
RXT-1 = 4kgs (whats that in pounds?!)

Durability:
Monsoon = ?
RXT-1 = ?

I have yet to see a decent video of either of these two trucks showing any of these things. Know of one? Please let me know.

Im tired of everyone dissing the budget brands. My brother believes his 3.3 his the badest thing on earth so i want to get one of these (with modding of course) and destroy it.

Help me out?

We have a new version of the Monsoon coming out in early Feb. Not sure if you can wait but it will have pillow ball suspension and some other new features.

hands down rxt-1..... for the most part the truggies are alot like the buggies... I do not have either truggy but I do have both versions of the buggy be it the rxb-1 and torpeda (pretty much the hurricane)....although I like my 2 torpedas and still enjoy them, the rxb-1 a far better buggy....its more durable, easier to maintain and handles better..

as far as videos, search youtube for firebird78transam and you can see my rxb-1 in action.....

I was thinking the same thing. It looks like the RXT-1.
