I am looking at getting a stadium truck to race as i love them, and in the past i had an e-firestorm, but really it is not a race truck.

The front runners as i can see it are the 22t, t4.2, dest210 and rt6.

Later i may get a buggy of the same type.

I have found few comparisons, but my budget for rc is not bottomless. The dest210 rtr seems good value for money, and a good kit. Seems to have most features of the kit, but with gear diff that i prefer, and only a few parts to make it mid mounted.

For the record, it is an indoor track on concrete, carpet and astro turf. Quite tight and reasonably technical.

Interested in peoples opinions on any and all kits

There really is not one best one. They are all good. A kit will always be better than an rtr, I would skip over the rtr completely.

I haven't drove the Durango or tlr but I like my t4.2

I have the dest210r and run indoor carpet,this truck surprise me with the performance and durability.Run mid-motor and have better pace than the 22t and t4 on our track.

I can second Ivan's comment, his truck looked super planted on the last carpet race super fast and very composed. Durango would be a great choice for your track,.

The DEST210 RTR looks to be good value. The SpeedPassion ESC/motor combo is decent, and with the surface you'll be running on you'll want the mid motor option. You will likely want to upgrade the radio and servo at some point, but compared to most RTRs, it seems to be well worth the money.

Sorry, cell phone landed me on the wrong thread

Instead of the mid-motor option, you could get the only stadium truck purpose-built for mid-motor, the X - 60CF. You'd get a cool carbon fiber truck in the bargain!

Chazz speaks the truth, the X-60CF is a great kit (the next addition to my stable once I get my hands on an X-6 Cubed). Mid motor is the only choice for super high grip, but the X Factory will perform well everywhere.
