4th is my favorite, nice head on shot - almost looks life size.

The 4th is awesome! I like it a lot, and they are very hard to take pictures of. Small target that moves quickly.

But great shots!

Thanks for the comments everyone! This truck is huge, not sure if anyone here is in to RC stuff at all but this is the biggest scale they make. I am going to try and find a shot with the owner so you can get an idea of how large this truck is.

My brother had a "Savage" RC truck, they are a pretty good size and sure can fly over dirt jumps and almost anything! But when they break, they can be costly to fix. Everytime he took it out, he broke something haha.

Funny, my other buddy was out with us that day with his Savage Flux HP.

Here's the Baja 5T dwarfing the Savage....

Nice, I've been thinking about adding a stadium truck to my collection, they look like a blast on the course. I'm mainly in to the monster trucks and bashing and what not but want to get more in to racing. The rock crawlers are totally awesome, and I like the fact that most of them are custom built frankentrucks pieced together from multiple trucks.

as far as just playin around, the monster trucks would be the way to go. ive never owned one tho. but as far as a track, or just addin another truck to the collection, the stadium trucks are fun. the stadium trucks slide thru the corners without flipping a lot better than the monster trucks. i'd still race them, but i got too many hobbies lol.

my buddy is real serious racing the 1/8 scale buggies and stadium trucks and also makes graphic kits for rc trucks
