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?

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.

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.

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...

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.
