The more I read about the ST-1,the more and more it sounds good. Besides new servo's. The rest of the truck sounds tough.

One downside to me posting this. With so many saying 'dont bother' as to the revo in the truggy class. The more fuel it gives me to try it LOL. But I wont do that. So it seems like I will be ST-1 hunting soon unless a better offer comes up.

Well I was thinking of using the 3.3 and see how that runs. And if I dont like how it turns out. Then upgrading to a .21. But I am guessing that seeing it will still have the 2-speed even with the center diff. I will still have to run in the MT class. Seeing I already have a revo. Pointless to have two that are built to race.

I am at Amain also right now. I want to be sure that there are plenty of replacement/upgrade parts before I go and buy. And it seems that Amain has that. Does the shop carry these parts also? Would rather buy from my local shop rather than online. Seeing my track here in kankakee is closed as of today(sat. 7-29)

Seriously consider the CRT, great parts availablity and relatively cheap in price. Plus their team support to the local club racer is unbelievable, CHad Bradley is always onthe grid trying to help out with questions. Plus all the drivers set ups are available online.....

Yea but I am looking at the money. Droppin close to $600,then another $200-300 for a motor. The price difference is to great for me. I know its a great truck,but having the best of everything isnt going to mean a damn thing if you cant race it.

Well I am tring to work this guy on ebay. Has a St-1 for 325 new. But seeing I would like to get this thing up and running ASAP. $500 max right now. Between this month and next,I will have more. 800-1k,or around that. I will figure something out. I saw that the motor and servos are the best thing to do upgrade wise on the ST-1. We shall see what route I go. I have been looking for CRT's also on ebay.
