1/6 scale monster buggy.

I just read a little about this thing. It is gasonline powered and weighs in at 20 something pounds. How much does this thing cost? I'm sure it would run over the T-Maxx. I've never heard of these things until i just saw it on this home page about 30 seconds ago.

They go about 30mph, I think. So it wouldn't beat a T-maxx.

the monster buggy costs $900 dollars and then you need two quarter scale servos and one hight torque servo, plus a two channel radio. on the plus side you don't need to spend 30 dollars a gallon for nitro. just 1.45 and then some 2 stroke engines oil.

A MB won't jump like a T-maxx, but they're aren't meant to. However, for shear acceleration and dirt tearing power, the MB takes the T-maxx hands down, from a knee-knocking point of view. Once you fire up a gas powered buggy, it seems like the other truck guys just kind of step aside while you tear up the dirt.

With all of the present options available for Zenoah engine upgrades (RC230 hop-ups, G260s, as well as 27cc top end kits), the potential to radically increase the horsepower and performance of the MB engine is only limited by your pocketbook.

By far the best bet is to find a good used one, either on the forums, internet RC car sites, or Ebay. You'll likely end up getting one with all the electronics for 3/4 the price of new.
