I want to buy a rc monster truck to take off jumps and to take off road and have fun with.
Hey Cody. the best person would be to send Kurt a message. As he has one9nicely done up too). Or ask dave payne. you would get the best answer from them
hey cody
the emaxx is just like your tmaxx but electric. uses alot of the same parts, but is easyer to maintian.
The E-Maxx is an awesome truck but its easier to break because its so big plus it uses two sets of batteries. I'd start off with a Traxxas Stampede - still a wicked fun little truck and there is lots you can do to it to make it near bullet proof. There are videos of guys jumping them of 7 - 8' drops repeatedly no problems. They are $220 at www.hobbywholesale.com which is in Edmonton - they ship in like three days and you only pay very cheap shipping (most of my stuff is $5) and GST - no PST.
I've also got an RC18T which is a really tough and a very fun truck to drive - it just doesn't have the same clearance so it can't drive in the same sort of terrain. I've also got a B3 buggy which I just started messing around with - it rips too and the batteries seem to last forever. More for off road racing though...
i found this on rc pitstop
