It's a pretty weak performer. I used to have a Blitzer beetle and ended up selling it. your better off buying a used T3 if you want a stadium truck.

ya im just looking for something that is fairly inexpensive..
has to be built (this RTR stuff is really lame..) kids these days...
and i kinda like old technology stuff

i just saw it sitting on the shelf.. looked kind of cool.. i think old school box got my juices flowing

whats better deal for electric stadium.. traxxas or duratrax?
seems like traxxas?

id be all over stuff like that.. but i dont want RTR..

I picked up a used RTR T3 for $75. It's hardly run and it came with a futaba radio. I ordered a set of bearing for it, I'll swap ina n extra GT7 esc and I'll have a nice runner.

How about an RC10T if you want old school?

I know this is an AE board, and most of us will try to steer you in that direction but there's a good reason for that. A lot of the cars made by Tamiya or Traxxass or brand X are a little cheaper, and a lot less of a performer than something made by AE or Losi. AE and Losi have dominated off road from the beginning. The best racers make the best bashers too. They are usually very tough, they have to be to survive modified racing. They won't need upgrades. They don't cost much more than "entry" level kits.

"What is better for stadium duratrax or traxxas?" AE or Losi.

I'd rather have a JrT than one of those two.

Go with an RC10T or T4.

i'd go for an ae or a losi, also. especially if you want any kind of real performance.

have never owned a losi.. and everyone at my local races were AE or lowerend.. im kind of interested in owning a losi.
what was the equivlant for a rc10 team (90-92)

and are they having a cult following right now like rc10 aka expensive?

have been upgrading my rc10.. snapping apart the parts takes me back to building my rc10 and doing plastic models..
its an addictive feeling like popping those packaging bubbles or as satisfying as pulling ur socks up real high after a huge crap

Dude! RC-10's are a bargain compared to the prices Tamiya Sand Scorchers and Bruisers.

A 1990-92 Losi would probably be a JRX-Pro SE. They are not as common as the RC10 though, cause they made about a billion gagillion RC10's. Prices are in line with condition. Like-new condition is worth quite a bit more than AE cars. Used, but decent condition is affordable. Parts are little harder to find, but the cars are just as good.

You might want to see a doctor about your sock problem.
