Default RC Nitro Trucks

Bought a nitro impreza a few years back off a mate. Big mistake as it was a track car with mega low suspension, slick tyres, racing gears etc. Didnt have anywhere to use it properly so sold it to girlfriends brother.

Now moved and have quite a bit of offroad land near us which would be ideal for an RC truck with good clearance.

Anyone recommend something. Should be ready to go and inc radio kit as dont have anything at present. Want nitro as just like the sound

Cheers,
Simon.

Apparently the trucks break easier than a buggy. Thats what the guy in the model shop I go to tells me - and the trucks are more expensive so he wasn't on a sales pitch

If you what off road and a truck or a Beetle then theres only one car for you.. the FG MONSTER TRUCK or MONSTER BEETLE.

These have a 26cc Zenoah 2 stroke petrol engine and can hit 40 ish mph.

These are far far far... less hastle than nitros.

They are 1/6 scale.
They come pre built fromthe factory in germany, all you have to do is add a radio servos and ur are away.
...oh and they cost from £520 for the MB (i have) or the Monster Truck is £580+

Hers mine...





Once you have had nitros, the next step is these FG's.
If you want more info etc.. on these then just ask.
you can get them from http://www.sgmodels.com/ amonsgt other R/C shops that specialise in FG's

These are mainly all plastic, but they will with stand quite a hard bashing around. but when the plastic does decide to give up the ghost, then you can up-grade to alloy.
