People are going to start thinking I work for Thunder Tiger soon, but here we go again...actually, to save myself the trouble of typing it all again; check this thread which is still on the first page of this forum... http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6650129/tm.htm

It's just such a DEAL, I would buy two myself if I could get around the customs issue. I don't know how they can be selling it for that price, I really don't. Go figure...

RE: Nitro Help
In the same sort of price range? The only one I'd recommend would be an OFNA Hyper 7, but that truggy is a much better deal, I mean, look at the size difference between 1/8th buggies and truggies, see pic below! And that truggy comes with a sweet engine.

A good car would be a nitro Rustler, firestorm, TT truggy is also good.

You can do 1/10 staduim trucks. THey are alot cheaper. I think the associated rc10 gt and firestorm are both good racers.

The ST1 is a great truck (read the R/C driver review) and I am hoping to get one soon.

RE: Nitro Help
No. You need to spend money if you want to race and if you haven't got money for a decent racing car, then you haven't got money to race, sorry, but it's true. [

Not trying to be rude but I really think your going to make a mistake. IMO, In the end you will spend twice as much is you get this truck.. If it all dose go good then you have made a believer out of me
