People keep telling me to get the 1/8 and it makes me think if I get the 1/10 I'll regret it?????

kuppler

well its prity much up to u.. i like my 1/10..

cen123

Ok. I would be asking for it for christmas so....should I get a redcat or amax? This website says it comes with a .15 CXP engine. Do all come with .18 or do some have .15's? http://www.hobbytron.com/NitroRCMons...8.html#related

BTW, do the ropes around the fuel tube help protect the fuel line? I seem to break the fuel line a lot.
Do you know how the AMAX is upgraded?

kuppler

well if u going for the Volcano SC. its the same as the AMAX.... so i would go ofr the cheaper one. the link u gave me thta amaz is $195... but if u go the ebay and do a search for AMAX truck u can get one buy it now for $155 or bid on it aqnd get it cheaper if ur lucky. i got mine for a lil over $120...

kuppler

oo yea and in the one on ebay u get the upgrades so u will get the .18 motor. check it out. the guy sells them all the time on ebay...

cen123

So is the only difference the motor? This is the one you're talking about right http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-UPGRADE-AMAX...QQcmdZViewItem ?
Oh and about how much ground clearance is there?

Thanks.

kuppler

yea thats the truck i have... check out the guys other items.. he has alot of the AMAX... and he always sales them,

Get the redcat. You can find places to get parts for it easier, I know it is almost the same truck but if the one part breaks that is not redcat then good luck finding the part since there are less amax dealers then redcat.

kuppler

yea i would get the redcat too.. but the AMAX is way cheaper... and its 99.9% the same parts. if u go to the redcatracing.com site and put in a AMAX Part # and it will come up the same. hehe but its up to the buyer... it doesnt mater if its a redcat or amax. its prity much the same truck...

So ground clearance is like 1 inch?? It looks like 2 in the pictures.

kuppler

its a almost 2 inc..if you want i can measure from my truck. it might be a lil more.

cen123

If you could measure it then yes. And thank you.

kuppler

ok ill do it 1st thing in the morning.. my RC is in my truck.

cen123

Thanks.

Another question,LOL, does the exaust deflector help to keep the truck much cleaner?

calvino

people say that they keep their trucks MUCH cleaner since it thows all the exhaust straight down onto the ground not onto the side of the truck[8D]

kuppler

Calvino is right. it helps keep the truck clean. the exhaust goes straight down, instead of going out and hitting the side of your truck/car. it helps ALOT!!!!!

kuppler

well here is a pic of it. it stands 2" off the ground.... hope the pic is good...

cen123

I have another question. How is this in grass? How fast would you say this is?

kuppler

it is pretty good in the grass.. they say it goes 60mph but i dont think it does. and i have no way of checking how fast it goes.

cen123

Thanks.

kuppler

NP Bro.... anything els i can help u out with let me know... and if i cant help. i know a few people that can...

cen123

I don't know if you could but.......do you know anyone with a tsunami (1/10 truggy) or 1/10 buggy and how that would compare?
BTW, I would PM you but I just changed my email address and I have to turn off my spam filter which I don't know how to do so I can't send/receive PM's.
