Monster or Stadium Truck?

[Jim]

I would like to to purchase a Stadium truck (RC10T3) speed, handling, etc. But also like the idea of having a Monster truck (Traxxas Stampede)(E-Maxx)rugged, go anywhere type of fun.
To avoid buying two trucks can the RC10T3 be fitted with Monster truck tires? So I can go between Stadium and Monster with the same chassis.
If there is no solution, any suggestions on which one to start with? Monster or Stadium?

Thanks,
JIM

Do you want to race or bash? Stadium trucks such as the T3 are usually used for racing and jumping (speed, high rpms). Real monster rucks are used for bashing, climbing over S**t, and so forth (heavy torque). Both are loads of fun, but their setup is different.

You have to ask yourself, Do i want to race? If so check out your local track if there is one, Yes the T3 can be set up for maximum ride height and fitted with monster truck tires but it will never have the clerence of a real monster truck, i own a RC10T3 set up for carpet raceing, RC10B3 also carpet, Yokomo YR4M2-PRO, and a King Blackfoot. I will help you make a decision good for you but you need to see what is in your area and send me details via E-mail at greylourd@nmo.net
