The Maximum ST...

I went down to the local hobby shop and wanted to check out the Kyosho Nitro Tracker. They don't have it. The man i was talking to was very helpfull and sugested a different truck I've heard about before called the Duratrax Maximum ST. I had no clue how good Duratrax was so I asked his some questions about it and he said it was rated #1 by Car Action Magazine. So I did some reserch on this truck and now thats ALL I want. I have about 10 reviews on it and they have good stuff to say, the only problems that the people had that did the reviews was that the little pink thing taht is the exhaust deflector kept falling off, but I'm sure that could be fixed with some glue. There was about two other things that could be fixed easily and they were that the shocks needed stiffer springs or thicker oil because the shocks kept bottoming out on the bigger jumps and second, that the air filter wasn't that great.The one thing that realy made me look up to this truck was that during testing, they launched it off of a 8 foot double jump and the inly thing that broke was the belcrank steering and before that they beat on the thing with other tests too so thats pretty good.(I don't think that i would be launching it off any jumps that big right now.)

So all-in-all the truck was really good and the best for any beginners in nitro r/c.
