For a change, here is a guide for buying 2wd nitro rc trucks, also
popularly known as nitro stadium trucks.

For 2005, there seems to be one nitro rc truck that stands out
from the competition, both in acceleration and top speed. It also
has one of the best looking bodies I've seen among stadium trucks.

Traxxas Nitro Rustler - 47mph
Team Losi XXX-NT Sport RTR - 45mph
Duratrax Nitro Evader ST RTR - 37.3mph
Associated RC10GT RTR - 36mph

And time to reach top speed (i.e. acceleration):

Traxxas Jato -5.8sec
Traxxas Nitro Rustler - 5.25sec
Team Losi XXX-NT Sport RTR - 5.41sec
Duratrax Nitro Evader ST RTR - 4.29sec

Website About RC Cars

Hi, not a day goes by that I do not think about r/c cars. Since 1978 till today, I still enjoy them. Whether it is building a new kit, to club or racing in other countries, or to simply bash around, I still have fun.

And lately I've enjoyed building and maintaining a website about the hobby I've enjoyed for over 2 decades. I find it so enjoyable to own an rc car website that is read worldwide and has had over 1 million page views.

The website is called car-evolutioncars.com, and it is my pleasure to write about anything related to radio control cars and trucks. I invite you to take a look and hopefully learn more about the hobby.
