    Rustler or Sledge for 13YO?

    Which part? On here or the wider context? The wider context I think is supported by how popular the company is. The smaller context of this forum I was just my observation over the 13 years I've been a member of this forum, not necessarily reflective of the current active members of today.

    Rustler or Sledge for 13YO?

    All I said was that imo the general consensus from what I've seen online over the years is that the majority of people in the RC community feel like Traxxas makes good bashing rigs. you're mileage/opinion may vary and I may even be wrong about the concensus but I dont believe that I am. Look at...

    No one is racing Traxxas kits at the pro level so I wouldnt call them a full fledged racing brand. I know once upon a time the REVO was raced alot in ROAR's short lived Monster Truck racing class but generally speaking they are not a competitive racing brand. I called up my local hobby store...

    The only other consideration would be tools like some basic 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, and 3mm hex wrenches. A lot of the other tools you probably have laying around the house or can order as you go.

    Rustler or Sledge for 13YO?

    Traxxas LiPos and their charger arent any safer than any other LiPos or chargers but they are vastly inferior in terms of performance and features. I mean I guess you can say theyre safer because you only have to plug in one cable instead of two and you dont have to set a charge rate of between...

    I agree with the kraton 6S and steering clear of Traxxas LiPos and chargers. The Kraton seems cheaper than the Sledge on the surface but a lot of Kraton owners have issues with the chassis bending so buy the time you figure in a good aftermarket chassis you're probably looking at about the same...
