      Why u asking US what YOU like? 👿

      Shouldn’t you have your own opinions first?

      What are you planning on doing with it??

      Stadium trucks are mainly for serious offroad racing on tracks… otherwise they’re not exactly anything great worth looking at, they’re not a real scale vehicle and no one is into 1:1 stadium truck racing outside of the US (even THOSE don’t have the ridiculous fat balloon tyres!!)… :dead:

      For backyard bashing, something like the T-Maxx (and lots of other similar trucks) is probably ideal. They are pretty strong, they have big wheels to roll over most things, they are 4WD (stadium trucks are 2WD), most have hancy gearboxes with 2spd & reverse.

      If you’re hoping for “full set RTR”, can probably find something like a T-Maxx 2nd hand in good condition for about A$700. Otherwise new they’re closer to $900-1200.

      There’s also the Kyosho MegaForce I think, and the Tamiya TerraCrusher in the same pricerange.

      Most of the current monster trucks are only available as an RTR, cannot buy as a kit to build yourself and add your own radio/engine etc.

      Most of the “maintenance” is plain old common sense.

      Nitro cars can get very messy… Keep the car clean so you can see when screws are coming loose, parts breaking etc. (Also a clean car is so much nicer to wrench on!)

      You must get the instruction book with any car you buy so you can work out what is going on, and what’s going wrong. This is important!

      The instructions would usually have a list of all the sparepart packs sold… so when you need spares, you just ask for the exact pack. No timewastin’ and your LHS will love you. 🙂
