Debate: Is MT class dying, or is it just waiting for winter/indoors? -
11-08-2006, 09:54 PM
I hope it's resting until winter, because our Revo is more race ready than the ST1 at the moment!

Hahaha.... I think it will pick up a bit with indoor season, but I think it has definitely slowed down. With all of the new UMT's that have come out people want the "faster better handling brutes". I think what SMT needs is actually another very competative monster truck to come out. Something that was strong out of the box for racing or bashing like the revo but with a large afrermarket following. (Losi, AE, or HPI needs to make a race truck IMO.)

Isn't that what the Revo3.3 was intended to be? The next big MT?

It wasn't a big enough change from the 2.5. All of the true racers had already hopped up their revos and had them running very competative. The new 3.3 just made it a little easier for people to jump right into racing. I think an entire new truck is needed, even if Traxxas makes it.

Racing from a roll is like beating off, it may be fun but its not the real thing. Quote:

I'll be honest.... I loved racing my revo, and did quite well when I did for the most part. The LSP was more fun to race though. If I am going to race one class now it would be UMT or scale. If I were to race two it would be both of those. SMT would only be picked up as a third option for the most part if everything else was running well.

I hope it does. I mean the TNX is the next thing to the revo it seems at the big races. I have been told the past 2-3 months that MT is dead and I needed to step up and get a truggy.
I can see that MT is dead at LHR. But at my old track,we had about 4-12 MT's on race night. With 4-5 being regulars during the winter months. I hope the class comes alive. I would hate to have to semi-retire the revo due to the lack of a class. But how long is it going to be until the bashers get bored with their MT and get a UMT? Then what.

The thing is, truggs cost ALOT more from what I've seen than MT's.

But look at the trend. HPI came out with their UMT,although they called it a MT at the start. I honestly dont see traxxas doing it all over again like the revo. I would put money on they will bring a UMT type truck to the table.
Now either it be from the ground up. Or a one off of the revo is anybodies guess.
