Ok here it comes. My first ever real articles. Which Monster Truck should i buy? You have to ask these six questions before you can come up to the right conclusion. Yes, no doubt, thats the one right for me, you said.

1. Scale
How much space Do I have? Do you have Little space or Lots of space? If Little Space, then 1:18 or 1:20 in scale. But if you choose Lots of Space, then 1:10 or 1:8 or even the 1:5 !!

2. Environment
Will Noise Be a Problem? If you answer ‘YES’, then Electric Truck is suitable. If ‘NO’ for noise is a problem, then Gas truck is the way to go! Nothing beat the sound of roaring engine!

3. Maintenance
Can I Fix the Truck? If ‘NO’, then may I suggest, go for Electric Truck. Easier. But if you answer ‘YES’ you can fix it, Gas Truck is the way to go. Why? The engine mostly the cause of this. You need some knowledge. thats for sure.

4. Running Costs
Can I Afford the Fuel? If ‘NO’, then of course Electric Truck. If ‘YES’ you can afford it, then go for Gas Truck.

5. Do I want to Race or Bash?
Do you want to race or bash? If you said you definitely want to RACE IT ONLY, The Truggy or Stadium Truck are the best choice. But if you said, you want to Bash AND race, The go for Monster Truck. Of course you can choose truggy and stadium truck too.

6. Do I want to Build My Truck?
If the answer is definite ‘NO’, The only choice is go for the RTR, Ready to Run. Or if you the adventurous one, and you said ‘YES’ I want to build my own truck, then get the KIT or almost Ready to Run.

I know these are just a simple guideline on how to choose the right truck for you. Each question deserve more explanation and even from each questions, they should be a few more questions under it. But you know what? I just decided to keep this open for discussion. I believe you guys are more expert and knowledgeable than me on this matter. So please do comment so everyone can benefit. Thanks. This is just a test for me. I have to say this is not originally from me with my many years in radio control. I know i have read them somewhere but i forgot which website or magazine. I just take these from my scrapebook. I usually write what i read so I didn’t forget. Hehehe. If anyone knows the source of this article or writing.. or it really an article from me, let me know, ok. My purpose is just to share the knowledge. Nothing else. And of course, my english is poor. Its my 2nd language. So just ignore, ok.
