I have to ask, why does everyone hate Philips screws? I have way more issues with hex screws rounding off than i ever do Philips, but, that might be from years of working on cars that are full of rusty Philips screws, so I'm used to being easy on them and not stripping them.

I was down at the same skate part i made my Granite/Hunter video, with the Circuit, testing it, and a guy that was there broke not one, but 2 stampedes before i made it through one battery, and he wasn't being near as hard as i was.

I bash them, crash them, beat on them, and i have only broken my DHK Hunter once, which was nothing more than a shock cap popping off, my DHK Raz-R, snapped the center driveshaft, and, my DHK Wolf 2 broke the wing mount and ripped the screws out of the steering block, and, even my Redcat...

I have owned a couple HPI's, but that was quite awhile ago. The only vehicles I routinely ruin or break shocks on are Redcat/exceed stuff. I blew a shock cap on my DHK Hunter, but I was also running it extremely hard, and it went back together, and is still together.

I actually decided to go with the Circuit, for a few reasons, not just the constant issues i see with Traxxas in general, or the stories of how people buy one, and replace 80% of it in the first few days, but, more because, after searching through Yelp, Yellow Pages, and a few other places, i...

The shocks that came with the pile of parts i have are aftermarket aluminum, with threaded bodies, from who though, i have no clue. Basically, i have two chassis with diffs, suspension arms, hubs, and axles, and then a box of parts, that i went through and organized, and figured out through...

I finally found the parts for it on Ebay, but, i have pretty much given up on that truck, since i have several others that are more current. I actually ended up stripping it today, and used some of the parts, like bearings, since they were rubber shielded ones i put in about a week or so before...

I'm looking to just build something i can literally beat the hell out of in the snow and cold, so, having more flexible, and less brittle parts is actually a good thing. Last year, i ran a Racers Edge Pro2 with Redcat Volcano EPX monster truck tires, and until i built a snow jump that was about 8...

I always get my Arrma stuff (vehicles, parts) directly from Horizon Hobbies, since, if you actually look at the Amazon and Ebay seller, half the time they are Horizon. When i bought my Warhawk, and my wifes Outbreak, both bought more than a month apart, i did it through Amazon, only to have them...

Until i picked up the Circuit and Rustler, i had been considering an Arrma Fazon Voltage, since my nephews have a couple of them, but, I'm not a big fan of the 2 in 1 ESC, and, i know I'm going to want to upgrade it to BL at some point, which i have heard stories from both sides about issues, as...

It was a ForceRC Warhawk that i only picked up because it was cheap, and i didnt have an SCT at the time, and, due to other issues, like parts rapidly becoming out of stock literally the day they announced they were being discontinued, i went and bought a couple better ones and completely gutted...

I know that very well. I routinely take my cars out in all kinds of weather. I know a lot of people wont run theirs in rain, but, not me. I run mine in rain, snow, mud, sun, whatever it happens to be doing outside, and the only vehicle i have never broke any of the plastic on, oddly enough...

As i have never even owned an RTR 3S vehicle, 6S doesn't really tell me much, TBTH. All of my vehicles are either MEGA (in the case of my Arrma stuff), or, in the case of my DHK stuff (Wolf 2, Raz-R, Hunter), they all started out as the brushed versions. As for my current vehicles, my Granite and...

I'm not interchanging Arrma and Traxxas parts. The whole point to the original question i posted is to help me decide, out of the two slider chassis i have, a Traxxas Rustler and an ECX Circuit, since i only have enough parts (electronics, wheels/tires, hubs, servo) to make one usable vehicle i...

I have heard that a lot, but, i have also heard the newer rustler is built better, but that was just from what i read on random forums after doing google searches. Until now, i have never owned a Traxxas anything, but, i have seen, albeit quite a few years ago, where there vehicles would break...

Let me start by saying, I'm not looking for fanboy responses, I'm looking for honest answers from those with actual experience with each vehicle. I recently bought a bunch of vehicles and parts (DHK Hobby Raz-R, Redcat Caldera SC, ECX Circuit, Traxxas Rustler), and, although the Raz-R and the...
