Nitro r/c suggestions

[mini-z drift]

Well I'm trying to get a nitro r/c if I get good grades (all above B+).
I was wondering if you guys can tell me what kind of nitros are good and that cost $200-360.

Thanks

Nitro Car or Nitro Truck?
Monster Trucks are hard to find good for under $420... But you can find cars for that.. and Stadium Trucks..

Is this gonna be you're first Nitro? If so, Traxxas makes great quality products, but if you go Traxxas, stray away from the TRX 3.3..

Runs hotter than a bih, it's hard to tune (for nitro noobs, such as me...), EZ Start is a pain..

But it makes boatloads of power. You can't be short once it's tuned and running right. The time I drove after break in, jesus christ, it went, and went, and went!

I have a few different types of nitro's Jato 3.3,Revo STS .30, Jammin FTE STS .21T. Out of all of them the buggy is the most fun, the fastest, and the best jumper. There are nitro buggies that are available for under 300 RTR.

ohh. I was wondering about a stadium truck or a buggy?

Get a revo. Those are nice trucks.

[gtislide]

I would say to get a buggy they are the most fun. I have a revo and I have a .30 on it and I still with I had my savage back.

i like my savage a lot hehe and sweed i ordered my revo its with red stripes(couldnt find the blue one...) cant wait till it gets here....ill let you know about the revo...but i think im gona love it

I'd recommend Team Associated's RC10GT2 RTR for your price range. Its inexpensive, highly upgradeable, as well, with the money you saved, you can buy fuel and glow plugs Its incredible! I just got one! w00t!

Haha... Then again, I'm an AE-fanboy... I already have the RC10B4 (Team kit) and it was great.

Did it come stock like that?

[meme405]

eww doe sthe body say ford in the front...lol i like the shock towers...but the spring...look ***...would they ever make a nitro with hydros...

[REDisFASTER]

mini-z drift: yes

meme405: no, it says AE (Associated Electrics) on the front.

How do the springs look ***? The color? The springs are color coded for specific weights.

Here is some of my RC's

[meme405]

No im emant that they look weak...really thin thats how the front ones look in the pic...

Nice rides GTSlIDE...i wonder why people dont do the same things to nitros as they do to xmods...cut out the dors hinge them add Ground FX...you know...rice um up. BTW i saw this crazy batmobile nitro thta had like jets on the back(just for show) it was so crazy. kind of slow though like 45 top speed.

lol, yeah. The rear springs are coated with with green stuff (ink?)... While the front springs aren't coated with anything other than clear.. That's what makes 'em look bigger

Why cut the doors and stuff? It's not gonna stay put when it rolls or at speed. Nitro's have big chassis to customize, and people do. Just more people like a nice chassis, be it 'blinged-out' gold or just a nice flat black with single color accents here and there...

45 is slow? That's pretty fast for Nitro Trucks, and Nitro Cars with no body will hit higher.. But it's not like you can steer, and it's boring to go back and forth all day..
