Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / February 2004which stadium truck should i get?
i was about to buy an rc10gt, or a traxxas rustler when the salema conned me into an ofna lx pro with a force .26. i do alot of bashing with an ocasional trip to the track. i don't race much, but i do goo when i do. the rustler they say is good for bashing with it' overpowered engine, and easy starting. the rc10 is proven i reliability, and super smooth handling. but is the rc10's mach .1 power comparable to the rustler's? i might even go with a kit and dro in my own choice of engine. this is what i'm leaning towards. you opinions and suggestions are welcome - everfas ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted from the RCGroups.com Discussion Forums Visit us at http://www.rcgroups.com <------- Win free R/C Gear View this thread at rcgroups.com: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=18622 > i was about to buy an rc10gt, or a traxxas rustler when the saleman > conned me into an ofna lx pro with a force .26. i do alot of bashing, [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > in my own choice of engine. this is what i'm leaning towards. your > opinions and suggestions are welcome. If you are occasionally racing, get the RC10GT. Get it as a kit for the knowledge assembling it will give you. Install something along the lines of an O.S.15 engine in it, as they are easy to tune and reliable. However, if you are comfortable building kits already, you could get the RTR as the engine is perfectly fine and has good power- just remember to locktite all the screws going into metal. I like the Rustler, too- but it is best suited for bashing, not racing.

Has to be a .12. Correct. Besides, there are .12's out there that will totally BLOW-AWAY the O.S .15 While I like the Rustler... I agree about getting the RC10GT. Much more race-worthy than the Rustler. The 10gt is available as a kit, and I really never liked the Traxxas engines... any of 'em.... or that POS "EZ" Start system. > really never liked the Traxxas engines... any of 'em.... or that POS "EZ" Start > system. The one on the 2.5 is a good deal more robust than the system on the Pro 15 and earlier engines, IME. I'm intrigued by the recent trend toward drill starters; I really like that idea. Moves the weight off the model and will give me an excuse to buy a decent cordless drill. :-) SignatureL.V.X., brother mouse http://www.mousetrap.net/otr/ Old Time Radio trades http://makeashorterlink.com/?K16312E06 CBS Radio Mystery Theater database http://greyhound.mousetrap.net/altus/ retired racing dog oops, i meant thunder tiger .15 not mach. i just caght that. just tryin to get people's opinion. i actually know alot about these stadiums, bu i found people's opinions can be helpful, and i can get some new idea to consider this way too - everfas ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted from the RCGroups.com Discussion Forums Visit us at http://www.rcgroups.com <------- Win free R/C Gear View this thread at rcgroups.com: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=18622 1.
