New to nitro

[papasmurf]

Will keep open minded as well then for second hand

What make is best for monster truck or stadium truck 4wd and want something that I can upgrade to aliminum parts and get hands dirty

Cheers

I've no idea about trucks as mine are buggys but the hyper ST truggy looks cool and hyper parts are easy to get. As far as the aluminium parts goes I personally wouldn't bother, yes it looks cool but is more likely to bend and stay bent but the plastic has flex so will more than likely just return to original.

Just my opinion and probs totally wrong pmsl

Make sure you've kept enough in the kitty for all the nitro accessories such as fuel, spare plugs, a glow starter etc.

That starter pack will be perfect

This will do for after run oil fella http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hpi-engine-after-run-oil-50ml-/rc-car-products/35806

Just remove your glow plug after each run and put a couple of drops into the cylinder. It's designed to keep the internals lubed up between runs, reduce wear and prolong the life of your engine

buy a hobao hyper 7

[Morpet]

Bit late now mate he's bought a savage lols

[foxy82]

Savage is a great truck for bashing.good choice

make sure all screws are tight every time you take it out cus when i had my savage i found that they liked to rattle loose more than on any other rc cars ive had

[papasmurf]

Any screws that go into metal need some thread lock

I use this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&storeId=10001&productId=199363&categoryId=255230&langId=-1

[Sambecky1989]

Excellent shall get some of that aswell then and make sure everything tight

[J.K]

Preferably blue as the red threadlock is permanent. I bought my hyper second hand and the previous owner rebuilt it with red threadlock, it's been a right pain in the backside!!
