I owned only Electric RC's. 1 was a buggy and the rest where 4x4 monster trucks. When I get the change to get another RC. I would to get sometime besides another 4x4 Monster truck.
What would you guys suggest I should get for an RC?
P.S. Any opinions will be accepted besides Monster Trucks.

Get a stadium truck and race it! It'll bring a whole new world of r/c to you that you havn't been exposed to before. :)

Probably the Duratrax Evader would suit you best as it's definately able to be raced, but it's also got a waranty on the parts so they'll be replaced for free for 6 months if (when ;)) you break it.. so it would suit someone in your position well I think (having bashed quite a few R/C's, but not raced before.. so will probably be quite hard on it). It's well suited to being a 'bashers racing truck' from the sounds of it.
If your LHS doesn't stock the Evader, then either the XXXT or T3 would be good too.. choose whichever your LHS stocks parts for (if they stock both, I'd recommend the XXXT personally, but it's a matter of personal preference really).

The evader is a great truck, becasue it has a 6 month waranty. however, some of the parts tend to be weak. But it depends on what your local hobby shop carrys, if they have all associated parts, go for the T3. personally i would suggest a losi xxx-t MF edition

What about Touring cars?
Which Electric Touring Cars would be a good choice?
P.S. In your Opinions for Touring Cars would the Cars with shaft drive be better than the cars with belt drive.

Nutter, you and I seem to get along great! lol. I would reccomend the Losi XXXT MFE if you have all the stuff for it (motor, electrics, ect...) that or the FT T3 are like the sweetest racetrucks out in my opinion, but I'd go with Losi, I just think I'd like them better. The Evader is also a great truck, the company has had a problem with brittle plastic but that seems to be fixed now, and the free parts warranty is for one full year. I love my Evader, and they are even competitive with the T3's if you have a good motor.

The reasons I reccomend the XXXT MFE and FT T3 over the Evader is that they are stronger, and lighter, thus making them a bit better, also they are meant for racing.

And they're actually by respectable companies!! Duratrax stinks..
they're like the YUGO of RC...
I've owned 3 T3's ... and I like em all!

i reccomend the AE T3 RTR. it comes in a nice package and can easily be made a race truck. actually, when it was stock i just threw in a stock motor and i raced it and i kept up with everyone else.
if you have the extra 40 bucks or so i would go with the bearing set. that is the only set back of this model. otherwise its a really fasy and durable and fun truck!

AEAddict-Have you had a DuraTrax, they are actually decent trucks so don't say they stink how about if I went and said AE stinks, no, I don't think that but please keep your negative comments to yourself, now we don't want to turn this into another flamefest like every other thread. :mad:

I personally like big Monster Truck R/C's. So I think I'LL get a TXT-1. But my cousin like Stadium Trucks and Buggy style R/C's.

Well than why did you post this thread if you are just gonna get another monster truck? I still say that you should get a XXXT MFE or FT T3.
Chizzler-that was exactly what I was trying to say.
