truck and tire recommendation

[Alien Mojo]

Hi all,

I have a couple questions.

First, what tires do you recommend for monster truck bashing on loose
desert gravel and sand. I have a traxxas stampede and the stock tires
lose traction very easy.

Second, I am looking at getting a stadium truck. I think I have it
narrowed down to either a RC10-T3 or a XXX-T (Matt Francis Edition). I
have heard that the Losi is easier to drive. I will probably not get
into any serious racing so I was wondering which truck you all recommend.
I am looking for something that is fun and durable.

Thanks In Advance.

If your not going to do any serious racing then get the Duratrax
Evader ST RTR, it is a nice durable and inexpensive truck.
The problems with parts breaking in the earily production models have
been fixed, it is a solid and reliable truck now.
I have a XXXT MFE and an Evader ST and I used to race a T3.
The Evader is just as fast but costs a lot less.
I wish I didn't sell my T3, I loved driving it.
I feel there is no one truck better than the other, they all drive a
little different but all easy to get used to and can win at the track
equally well.
