Monsoon
 

Anyone have this truggy? Just wondering how it holds up. I really like what ive read and seen online so far. Only thing is its the same length and only 1 inch wider than a 1/10 scale. Not really sure where they come up with the 1/8 but who knows. Anyhow just wanted to get some opinions on this truggy.

RE: Monsoon
 

I am not too sure where you get the size from, its actually a little larger in width and length than the 1/8 ofna mutilatro truggy i have. its huge, far from the size of a 1/10 scale, i am sure alot of others will chime in here and tell you the same thing, you can see the mutilator behind it.

RE: Monsoon
 

Ahh man is that one yours? Thats awsome. I was just getting the sizes off the traxxas website. The specs on the revo. And compared that to the monsoon. I would figure its alot larger than my revo but i wanted to check. I really like the way the monsoon looks. Seems like a really nice truggy.

RE: Monsoon
 

it is and the revo is not really a 1/10, its definately 1/8, the tmaxx is large too.

get one brother, you wont be disapointed

RE: Monsoon
 

Yeah never really thought about how big the revo actually is. I really like the monsoon man. lol. It is almost tax time. :D

RE: Monsoon

RE: Monsoon
 

i have to pay, i know already [:o]

RE: Monsoon
 

Get the Monsoon, it's an awesome truggy & it's a lot larger than the 1/10 scale, I have both scale from Redcat. But like ehroof said you won't be disappointed.

RE: Monsoon
 

I have seen many 1/8 truggies and they are know where near the size of a 1/10. I'd get one.

nice

RE: Monsoon
 

Thanks for the link ehroof. Lots of good info. Awsome pics there motodude11. Thanks for the comparison shot. Its not a whole lot larger than the Tmaxx. But that is a good thing. The more ive thought about it...would be dumb for anything larger. It would have to be alot harder to get around a track any larger. lol. I really like the monsoon...so i might just have to start saving now.. as my wife is always compaining about the money i spend on my stupid little trucks [&o] Still have some stuff to get for my Revo and then its time to get it a playmate :) And i know the perfect one. That and it seems that the truggy is really taking over.

RE: Monsoon
 

your welcome bro, you wont be disapointed with it, its a real nice truggy.

RE: Monsoon
 

Man your always here. :D How long you been into R/C? Your full of good info lol

RE: Monsoon
 

lol, over 25 years, i do them all, planes, trains, cars, trucks, heli's, boats, hydrofoams, lol, you name it i got it, oh forgot motorcycles too.

i am home for the past almost 2 months because my wife was very ill in the beginning of december and had 2 brain surgery's. i have been going back and forth to the jobsites this week to check on the men since i just started back to work on tuesday. next week will be a little busier. She is in for a long recovery and dont like to leave her side, she is the apple in my eye!!!!

RE: Monsoon
 

Wow man. Sorry to hear that about your wife. Hope everything works out ok. We just found out that my wife has a mass in her brain. But the doc said its a disolvable mass. If thats how its spelled. But they said she can take medication to help it...so im not too sure. And 25 years.....wow. Only been a few years for me :D Im a big time car guy and always wanted a nitro so i could tinker with the engine. So thats how i got started. Love it so far. Just not the money that seems to burn up in blue smoke :D

RE: Monsoon
 

Hope it all works out with your wife bro, i am sure it will after what i seen my wife go thru.

You need DEEP pockets for this hobby bro, check out my gallery here on rcu and thats not near all of it, i am on photobucket and youtube too, same name, ehroof. My 10 year old son is big on this stuff too.

RE: Monsoon
 

Yeah i found that out about the pockets. Ive got a 13 year old boy that i bought the sava for. He wanted one for xmas ;) Its been fun so far but been too cold for us to really be able to run together. Cant wait till spring

RE: Monsoon
