sooo, im looking for 2wd racing stadium i already have a .12 cv-r but i need a truck to go with it.
Now im looking at the kyosho ultima st type r, factory team rc10gt, and the adam drake xxxn-t.
I know the adam drake is probly the best anwser but for some reason im leaning towards the rc10gt because of the price and reputation, and the ultima is good because of the 150 dollar tag at tower hobbies, but i havent herd much about it.
Wut do u guys think????

AE, my father in-law own the Adam Drake, and I can run circles around Him. My Dad owns the Rustler 2.5, he can out run me in the striates, but in the ruff stuff it is all AE.

The GT is a great all around truck for bashing or racing and the new Mugen MST-1 is also a great racing truck a friend of mine has one and it seems to be a well built truck for the extra money

Yea, same here Packfan, I like variety. It doesn't seem that many people have a Nitro Rustler 2.5, so I am getting one. I saw the video on www.traxxas.com of it, and it amazed me. The thing will do 47mph stock. The thing is crazily fast.

yeah but transfering speed on road to speed on grass goes the same way for the rc10gt. if its faster on road it will be faster on grass.
i read about a rustler in an article about handling. simple upgrades will make it on badass st.

but those upgrades also 'upgrade' the cost to that of a losi or xxxnt and such... Personally if i was going to buy a chassis for a nitro ST id get the Mugen MST1 jus to boast that I own a Mugen

I forgot to add that the reason people say that the handling on the Nitro Rustler 2.5 isn't as good, is because it is hard to keep the front down from popping up all the time. I mean really, lets think about this. The 2.5 will pop the T-Maxx up on a wheelie, so think about what it is going to do to the Nitro Rustler which is like only 5 pounds and is only rear wheel drive. Now that is alot of power to that rear! It can always be fixed though with all the different spur gears Traxxas offers for it.

I've never heard of rustlers having wheelie problems, reason MT's do that is because 4wd = way less spin so theres alot more traction to the back. right now my emaxx doesnt want to flip at all cuz its in 2wd mode >:O also adds to my run time. less resistance
