I want a stadium truck that I can upgrade, but isn't too expensive. And I don't want an Evader or a Rustler.

T4 or XXX-T.
If I were you, I'd get the T4; the XXX-T will most likely be replaced sooner or later. Have fun!

I would have to say a evader. I have one, and it is almost fully compatible with losi xx-t parts, and there is alot of aluminum available from duratrax for it. Mine has alot of graphite from losi. Plus, duratrax is getting ready to release some graphite parts for the evaders.

I would also say stick with Losi or AE. So that limits you to the XXX-T and T4. Both are very competitive trucks and would suite you well. :D

Is a t3 really that outdated? I don't have much money...

Budget? You're not alone. You could wait until the T4 RTR comes out; it'll be cheaper.

na the t3 is older but still can be fun.you aint racing in expert class are you???then dont worry about it get a t3 rtr for a steal price.all the hop ups for it now since the t4 is out are dirt cheap.
xxxt cost more cause it has the better radio.the thing i dont like about the t3 is the single plate slipper.losi wont release a new 2wd soon(theyll prob call it the 4xt)cause the new bk2 kit with upgraded tranny and new shock stuff came out.ae was a truck behind in chassis design with the t3 when losi released the xxxt.the t4 and xxxt are almost the same truck with almost the same chassis design but t4 has a higher tranny ratio over the xxxt which wil soon change.personally with new rcs like this it dosent matter which one you get casue there too close,its up to you to make them a winner and thats what most people in this hobby tend to forget

I just got my T3 on ebay for $160 with 3 yes 3 speed controllers :eek: , and 5 batteries (2 work great, the others give 2 min. tops), 2 battery chargers,3 sets of wheels, a good transmitter, 2 bodies, a sodering wand and good soider and tons of tools and it was bought in Feb. 03 (had reciept in the box)...and it was only carpet raced, it didn't have one scratch on the body or underside of the frame:D ;) :p
So ebay definately has some great deals (between $100-200) if you take the time and bid wisely;)
Good luck and I love my T3 it rocks!

I like the single plate slipper... I hate the new T4 slipper... I have all these spur gears that I can't use on my T4 now... I still have the origional single plate slipper on my 12 year old RC10T and it still works fine...
Go for the T3 or T4... AE seems to have the better compatability between trucks... I can still get parts for my 10T if I need to... Then again, there is little left of the origional truck...
