bump cause I know there are crt and str owners here, maybe they are shy?

[Michowski]

Either one can win, both are very durable. Its all about the better driver. Cant go wrong either way IMO

Come on I wanna hear the st-r , crt war. Lets just say we cloned Sonny' O or somthing and Sonny was racing against himself one Sonny was driving a crt and the other cloned Sonny was driving a ST-R who would win? Talk amongst yourselves...

If money were no object, I would start with the Kyosho, but the approximate $200 premium is real money.

I understand that the K is a very tunable and responsive truck, and can more easily/quickly tuned and will respond to changes in setup very noticeably. That might not always be a good thing if you don't keep good notes on what you change and how it affects the handling...

I also understand that parts commonality between the STR and the 777 buggy could be a factor if you owned a 777 buggy already. It would be logical to minimize spare parts stocks.

The Jammin' certainly has lots of fans, but it seems the STR is taking off in a big way. And, usually, more expensive, good items tend to find fans if they deliver the goods. It seems the STR does that in the hands of the knowledgeable, experienced drivers.

Maybe a beginner (me) couldn't appreciate the subtle differences, or couldn't afford the time and practice it would require to dial in a racer truck like the STR without considerable help from the guys who know more about it.

I (and this is me) would, if I were choosing between the two, would get a STR and hope to "grow into it" someday. Better than buying something that I would just regret later.

This is the opinion and viewpoint of a non-truggy owner, from the outside looking in.

But nobody else was speaking up.

if we cloned sonny and raced head to head with both trucks it would come down to who makes the least mistakes. You cant go wrong either way. Both are high quality trucks and they both win the big races. One post somebody left that made me choose was the st-r is very similar to the buggies. Its very "sensitive" to small changes and it takes a very finess (sp) driving style. The crt is more of a monster truck and IMO can be driven with a more aggressive driving style.
