I have recently got back into rc cars and trucks and I am looking for a decent stadium truck chasis. When I was in this hobby a while ago I owned a RC10T3 but I figured thats probably pretty outdated considering it was a long time ago. I just want something I can mess around with at the local track that would be easy to find parts for. Any suggestions are appreciated considering I am absolutely clueless about these newer models. The one thing I ask is try to keep your suggestions limited to stadium trucks. Thanks, Pat510

One word: Slash.

Surprisingly that model isn't all that out dated. There are a couple of new models out there but the T3 is still competitive in the right hands. I'm assuming what you want to do is race so i'd suggest you pick yourself up a Losi XXX-T CR or Associated RC10T4. Both are great race only trucks. If they hold your interest you might want to check out the short course trucks like the SC10, Blitz, Slash and Strike. I've never had as much fun racing as I do with my Slash.

if you're not looking for a total race rig but want one a rig that can race and be bashed, look into the hpi e firestorm

the lug

alright well i like those e firestorms but i got a deal on a xxx-t so i went with that instead. I just have 1 more question, my friend wants to get a buggy just to be different. i have no idea where to even start on buggies so i told him id ask around on here. Now for the question, what is a decent buggy to get for an under 300 dollar range? can be used or new but rtr is definitely a big plus.
Thanks for all the input, Pat510

Not everyone is a Traxxass fanboy like yourself their buddy. Plus, he was referring to a stadium Truck, not a CORR. [:-]

well thats just nice

Check out the associated B4 if you're looking at buggies, or am i just an ae fanboy?

Go buy a a kit pal. Go yankess

Lots of good buggies out there but I'd have to recommend the Kyosho ZX5 or Tamiya Durga (DB-01) for that budget.

kyosho all the way :P and got for the RT5 for stadium

For a RTR buggy 2wd: Go AE B4RS. It will get you into the class. Eventually, you will replace the electronics however and make sure to get an aluminum hinge pin brace up front. Invest in some front arms as well. If Kyosho were to come out with a RTR RB5 I would contemplate that route as well. I do love my B4 though. If you are wanting 4wd RTR there are few good options. Kyosho ZX-5 ready set has some weak points. I don't think that the B44 has a RTR version. I know the RTR is tempting and easy, but a kit or roller that you can put quality electronics into is a better idea down the road.
