Which one?

[brook52]

I have read a lot about the Nirto Trucks on here, Which one is truly the best, the Terra Crusher, the T Maxx, of the Monster pirate? HELP!

First of all, I would not consider the Terra Crusher. Yeah, it might be able to pull someone in an office chair across a parking lot, but what does that matter. In my opinion, it was a failed attempt by tamiya to dethrown the T-maxx. So now that its narrowed down, which is better, the MP or the T. I may be a little bias to the T-maxx but in my opinion it is a better buy. The MP has more power and more speed, and it doesn't flip as easy. But RTR it is like 500 dollars and I think the T is a better buy for your money. And it does have an unlimited supply of hop-ups.:D

well it depends on what your gona use it for if your ginna bash alot id go with a maxx or a ek-4! or a n pede. all these trucks are good it just depends on how youare going to drive, and where your going to drive.

And it depends which brand your LHS has parts for.

Don't listen to joecoolman about the Terra Crusher this is just his opinion on a truck that he doesn't own and never has driven, unless he is a Tamiya emplyee, because they are not out yet! Wait for the Crusher to come out first before buying anything.

If you want to be like everyone else and play follow the leader go a head and get a Maxx. There are a TON of Maxxs out there and chances are everytime you go take your truck out someone else will have one there a head of you. If stuff like that doesn't bother you get a Maxx it is a great truck.

I have a Pirate myself and my buddy has a Maxx, I bought a Pirate to be different from him and have driven both trucks a lot and except for the power catagory the Maxx is the better buy for sure. The Pirate is just a converted 1/8 buggy, but it is a lot of fun.

Come back here as people get the Terra Crusher, if people don't like it you'll know real quick. My guess is also that 80% of Crusher buyers will also be T-Maxx's owners or former owners, so what better way to get info on which is better?.

Skribble is correct also. If you plan on driving every single day and have no down time with your truck it's best to just be able to go down to your local hobby shop and get parts.

With my Monster Pirate I can be down 3-4 days waiting for parts. Amost every hobby shop in the USA has replacement parts for the Maxx because so many people have them. I kind of like the down time myself it gives me a R/C break so I don't get burned out so fast.
