What 1/10 scale racing truck should i get im looking at losi and assoiated but i need help picking something. price is not a thing im looking for the best out there. Plz help me choose. nitro only
The losi ad2 is a good gas truck. Its hard to for someone to pic a truck for you, get what you feel is best for your budget, 80% driver 20% truck.

The jato is good on dirt once, but not legal with a .20 (3.3) engine. Also it would not be as competive as Losi's gas trucks handleing wise. It would be cool to see a "race" looking Jato!

You have to hubs to match the regular 2.2 rims. Ribs in the front, bow-ties or any other in rear. After the tires its ready for dirt. You could do the light weight chassis, light weight steering links, servo, upgraded pipe, etc . All of those are for speed an more competiveness aginst other trucks.

i could get the traxxas exo carbon kit to burn some fat
WHY? Don't forget the jato is 2 speed. Plus gas truck is dead at most tracks.

My guesse is why not... True, tho that 1/10 gas is dead.

i can influence all my freinds to get gas trucks and they willl get them asap and we will start it up in my area
I that case, what about electric? You can get an rtr T4 for a little over $200, or a Duratrax for $120.

i dont do electrics
I'm saying get your friends into the hobby with less expensive RTR electric trucks. I doubt anyones parent will just give their kids $300+ to get into nitro rc cars.
It is also a whole lot cheaper to maintain electric, thats coming from a truggy racer. I spend so much more keeping everything on my truggy in race shape, and its still wore out....lol.
