I'm looking for a nice stadiumtruck...

Hi guys.

I live in Sweden where R/C-cars are relatively expensive compared to USA. Translated, I'd say I have about 350 bucks to spend on a car and radio, but I don't think I'll get as much value for the money in Sweden as in the States.

Now to the question. What do you recommend me to buy? I have had a Kyosho Sandmaster ST since many years, but it's a little too weak for me now. So either I want a bad stadiumtruck (i live the concept) or maybe a buggy. I've for example looked at Kyosho TR-15. What else do you recommend?

I'd recommend 1/10 Nitro Schumacher Desert Storm.
I'll buy this very soon.

Looks, hmm, damn expensive. :)

The tr-15 is a good choice, actually im selling my tr-15 on ebay right now. lol
ive done extensive research and found as far as stadium trucks go the best choice is the associated rc10gt. you can purchase the rtr kit with less than what you have stated is your budget. I say the rc10gt for many reasons some of which are,
everyone who ive talked to who owns one loves it
the parts are carried by almost every major vendor.
upgrades and hop-ups are nearly limitless.
and they look hella cool. lol
As a side note, i always feel sorry for overseas peeps who have top pay so much extra for stuff, id be willing to purchase stuff for you and ship it to you, if that would make things cheaper/easier for you.

that shumacher is very expensive but has its payoffs. it can accelerate to 40mph in under 2 seconds and goes 50+ mph.
that is one crazy stadium truck!

Sounds awesome, however I'm afraid that it might not be very common in Sweden = not a lot of options, etc.

The Rc10gt, do you got any links? Is it good?

[Mjorich]

TRAXXAS NITRO RUSTLER, is it good?

Being bored with how slow my Sandmaster was/is, i want a fast ******* . At least 30 mph I think is reasonable. :)

Too bad the T-maxx is about 550 $ in Sweden. :(

The Desert Storm XTR21 is a super-sweet stadium truck. It is $420 US for RTR. It has a 21 engine, it is 2 wheel drive, and has an optional 3 speed transmission upgrade. If you seek a 4 wheel drive stadium truck then seek out the new Duratrax Overdrive Stadium truck. It has a 17 engine, 2 speed tranny, reverse, and is RTR for $350 US. As far as the prices in your country, why not buy American and even with oversea shipping it should still be cheaper then what you'd pay for it there. Something to consider. Good luck.
