WTB: Off-Road Rolling chassis or RTR - 10-14-2004, 05:58 PM

I'm looking to buy some sort of Off-Road Rolling Chassis or RTR, Nitro or Electric. I will consider anything Except a HPI MT. My first choices might be a T4 or a T-Maxx or E-Maxx. I'm just tired of not being able to drive an off-road track so I'm looking for anything decent until I get the AE Monster GT.

Mr. A, to bad you dont like the HPI MT, I've got an electric MT that is in perfect shape. Never really been beat on, just mainly driven on the street. It has a tekin ESC, Futuba electrics, a Speedjems motor that really rips, and a few carbon fiber parts too.

I had a HPI MT before and had nothing but problems with it as many people have so I try to stay clear of that truck. It was my first real R/C and I was so dissapointed in it I was ready to just sweep away the entire hobby all together, hence my On-Road TC3 which leaves alittle less breakage unless you hit something and a complelty different brand all together.

It seems more people like the MT rather than hate it.



Long live the MT!!!!!!

I've had both the EMT (great truck for on road only after you spend $$$ on hop ups on it) and 3 HPI NMT's (barley good for on road even with a billion $$ of hopups.. off road forget it.) I got the NMT's for free or almost free just because they suck so bad for anything other than on road driving. lol.. I got one NMT from a guy at the LHS that just got it fixed. went out back to test run it and lost a dogbone and striped a spur gear. He came back in and announced he'd take $20 for it with every part and piece he has for it. well $20 later I had the rolling turd. in the end I sold all the NMT's for next to nothing and the EMT for parts online because nobody wanted any of them.

Someone on EBay bought mine for alittle more than what I paid for it with a few hop-ups and acctually gave good feedback! So far everyone I've heard from has the same problems and sold it ASAP. I think AE needs to come out with a Nitro 1/10th scale Stadium Truck 4x4 like the little 1/18th they just came out with so they can show what a stadium truck should do.Everytime I took a jump (EVERYTIME) small or large I broke a part. It does handle the on-road but thats what on-road cars are for not a stadium truck.

I'm not looking to spend that much C. I'm mainly looking for either a rolling chassis or a RTR AE Stadium truck or small buggy. Just something to have for off-road until I get the MGT.

the mgt is a nice truck, but why not just geta savage. Its just as durable if not more, and its like a 100 bucks cheaper. Parts for a savage are everywhere too
