Default what electric monster truck to get

I have a rc10gt rite now and it is winter here in pa so I am looking to buy a fairly cheap electric stadium truck or electric monster truck. I would want to jump it and just plain bash now remember it is just for the winter to keep me busy so does not have to be something great. What should I look at to get.

help me out guys thanks,

A traxxas rustler is cheap and good enough for winter.Go to tower hobbies and you can pick one up for 140.00

Default Stampede

The traxxas stampede is a great basher truck (my 11 &7 year old proved it weekly) cheap, upgradeable and durable.

I would say get the stampede its a great truck, i have the newest version, and swaped out the titan 550 for a brushless novak, with gtb speed control, it rips with lipo.

Since it is HPI, you probably would melt the diffs, well diff. It is only 2WD. If you want 4WD twin motor go with the Traxxas E-MAXX or if 2wd, go the stampede. I have two and are unbreakable. My wife had a baby boy 2 weeks ago and I have already started to build his Stampede from Chassis up

Cheers

he was tyalking about the e-savage, not the wheely king. the e-savage is dual motor dual battery 4WD. comes with a battery charger, 2 3300 batteries. the e-maxx is pretty much crap compared to the e-savage/zilla. the savage can stand up to a 19t motor. they hold up to brushless with bone stock drivetrains.

Stampede = POS..it is a traxxas after all...
Since it is HPI, you probably would melt the diffs.. ..Whatever..and you base this on ?
It's just like everything in this world everyone has opinions..I had a "pede" and I thought it was a POS, and broke all the time, flipped over all the time, did not jump very good, their is a ton of slop in the suspension..I could go on and on..But hey to each his own..

Yes, the suspension is a little soft, just bang some t-maxx shocks on and you are set.
