| I wouldn't recommend getting anything rtr, the electronics in rtr kits suck and you'll be replacing them eventually.
I usually buy all my stuff used....you can find nice used RT5's, and T4' for like 120 to 150. T4's will be a little bit cheaper though.
Save up for some nice electronics and you'll be set. Then if you decide to try out a different truck all you have to do is swap out your electronics. | |

| Shift did you buy a speed-t or just slap on those chrome dubs I sold yah Ivan if you're not gonna build a truck out of all that Losi stuff you guys bought, I can't believe I'm gonna say this but a T4 would prob be your best bet for the following reason. You can be very competitive with one and part are CHEAP and AVAILABLE. If you choose to purchase a Losi or Kyosho make sure that you stock up on parts. | |

| Will the stadium buggy I used yesterday be a competitive stadium truck? with the necessary adjustments of course. I have enough parts to build two trucks but I have no brushless system to put in it. What can you get for me, Dave? or anyone else who wants to sell. Are they worth $200 with a $50 dollar esc (LRP Ai Super reverse digital) and a couple brushed motors?
It also came with an associated FM transmitter and receiver and a futaba FM transmitter. Anybody who wants anything here please PM me with an offer.
Sorry for this not being on the for sale section. | |

| Robert I would build one truck to sell and keep another for parts. Depending on the model parts can be hard to come by. I should know I haven't driven my MF2 in seven months | |

I think it would be better to build one to race and have the other for parts. I have some stadium tires a little old but working. I am looking to sell both so that person who buys will not worry for buying any parts in a while. I paid 300 for 3 car kits in a box full of parts some kyosho parts are in the box too. Ivan helped me build that xxx-t and it was a little bit hard to find the parts because there is a bunch of old parts in there too and some broken parts etc. I will use the 200 to get myself a brushless system for my buggy or the slash and put the velineon on the buggy. And to keep paying the racing fees at raceparty and hal's. $200 takes 2 xxx-t stadium trucks one of them RTR (Brushed) Battery and 2 brushed motors included. Spare parts on packaging say speed t. If this thing is an MF2 or speed T, I am giving away a great deal here. The trucks have no scratches except the one I used at the track yesterday but I covered it with masking tape on the bottom of the chassis to save some scratches. | |

| The Bomb ? Who uses that term anymore lol AE makes a good truck but just not sturdy enough for me. Most of the guys running AE trucks use RPM arms. Shoot Dave hit me with his X-factory and broke an arm. Sound pretty WEAK to me | |

| Well in your case Daves at fault for it breaking.. Now if that was my car I would have jumped off the drivers stand pulled out a lightsabre in mid air and sliced Daves car in half. | |

| Nice! I knew that Yoda emoticon would be appropriate some day Actually I say this humbly but I may have been my fault. I was actually marshaling and turned my back to oncoming traffic. That was before I graduated from RC Marshal School | |
