Big Truggy Action! Thunder Tiger ST4G3 V1

Read the full review in the July issue of RC Car Action!
Today's 1/8-scale truck class got its start in the mid-2000s with conversion kits that crossed monster trucks with 1/8-scale buggies, and it didn't take long for manufacturers to catch on -- Thunder Tiger was an early adopter of the new spec, and created the original ST-1 kit in time for the first ROAR Nationals in 2005. With big tires, long travel suspension, and the largest footprint of any mainstream racing class, these overgrown stadium-style trucks still produce the fastest lap times on rough tracks to this day, and while nitro still rules the roost in competitive circles, that versatility and stability makes them the perfect platform for brutal brushless power. Thunder Tiger's ST4 G3 is a prime example of when information learned on the track trickles down to the everyday hobbyist, by harnessing the best parts of the original race truck and changing up the rest to suit a new purpose -- and a new powerplant. With 14.8 volts of electrons flowing through its veins rather than 30% nitro fuel, this version of the TT ST is a whole different animal.
