Hello All! Aside from my starship model building, I'm into high performance r/c boats, nitro trucks and cars. I've only read a few posts (mostly negative) on the Traxxas Monser Buggy, but I need to get most bang for my buck, so I'm about to purchase a $600. used but very well kept buggy from my LHS (less radio). Yes, I know an FG will outrun me due to engine size, but I'm not about to spend over over $1000. to get one at this point. My questions are: 1. Can a larger Zenoah fit into the Monster buggy, and if so, what specific model? 2) In order to outperform my friends' stock FG, what do I need to overhaul? 3) Why are so many guys dumping their FG Trucks on Ebay lately? Thanks!
