Aftershock, revo, tmaxx, or what?

[Zachary]

Okay so forget the eariler post.

I have decided That I am going to buy a new rig.

 

[CHRIZDIZLE]

To be honest save up alittle more and buy and brand spankin new rig. When your buying used your also buying there problems. I say if you got a radio and 2 servos buy the new Savage 4.6 SS. IMHO the best basher for the buck out there. Around 380 new.

thats a tuff one,, bin there, you dont want to swing for a new one?.. I've just had bad luck with used nitro,.. i kinda like the on with the new and used motor, thogh i am a fan of the revo(have 2),, but the t-max with a roller? how can you pass that up!! i would look into the after shock.. whats his definition of a "new" motor and how bad is the old one?, what else does it have?.. the t-max with a roller. now that I'm thinking bout it, it sounds kinda like... you buy 1 beater car, but its a good deal couse it comes with a free "parts" car.. not to sure bout that... you see pics yet? witch ones the cleanest?

i agree!! save your cash!! couple more buck and you can get a sweet rig!!.. evan if you dont have your own radio gear, hook yourself up with an rtr savage or revo.. its super disapointing when you buy a used nitro, and you have problems with it.. its always the motor!! ya and the motors are NEVER new.. nobody spends 200 bucks on a motor and sells the whole rig for 250 couse they want to be nice!!!!

Aftershock is the cleanest. by new engine i mean not even broke in yet. and the stock engine a little over 1 gallon. the revo is by far the dirtiest. here is a ink to the aftershock

THAT REVO IS JUNK!! why are you evan looking at a rig that dirty!!.. that is a disaster... thats what you need to stay away from.. if your hell bent on buying used then you need to find someone that keeps there rig clean.. that means they at least did the basic maintonance.. as far as the after shock.. if its in the truck, its not new.. and nobody runs one tank through a motor..60mph.. no.. 70mph, never.. that guy is most likly an ametuere.. go to losis website.. do you own a nitro now.. if this is your first one, then you need to really think about buying a new rig, and not a used one.. you can get an awsome rig for 350 bucks.. like the hpi mt4 rtr.. and thats an awsome rig.. you dont need to buy used.. evan if you have to save for another month..

Man trust me, if you buy a rig like the ones you showed us you will be dissapointed. It's obvious that they have not been maintained. If someone doesn't care enough of their rig to clean it up before they sell it, they probably do not know how to take care of it. I just bought a savage x ss because it's so much truck for the money. You can buy it and be ready to bash. Those trucks WILL require parts and maintenance before they will be dependable. I know how it is to have moeny and want something NOW, but i've learned the hard way that it's waaaaay better to be disappointed for a week because you have to wait to get your rig than to buy something right now instead of saving up for a week or two, only to be disapoointed for months or even a year that you spent so much on a worn out old rig. If you have 300 now, you could probably sell some household items on ebay or rake some leaves and have enough to get something like a new savage or aftershock and then you can take care of it the right way and have something that you can depend on.

I don't know the brandm but if it's a generic knock off I've heard awful horror stories because of the money that the companies skimp on with quality to offer the low price.

XTM my lhs carries. They love XTM products and say they run great. Just maybe a second opoinion would be nice

There not worth it. Not much following for XTM and most hobby shops atleast where I am don't carry them.

Okay so I have decided to buy a new rig when I get the money.

narrowed it down to two. I need something that can withstand A LOT of abuse. I bash hard with my friend. Witch one should I get?

I Have An Aftershock And Did The Lst2 Upgrade And Put A Losi Tuned Pipe On It And Man That Thing Flies And Is A Real Basher. Wheelies,speed,strong I Have Not Broke Anything Major They Can Be Tricky To Tune But Well Worth The Money And Thanks To The Guys On This Site I Have Ironed Out All The Problems With Tunning

If you're LHS carries XTM parts the buggy is a good deal...they aren't the best out there but they are on par with OFNA as far as quality goes.....if you are bashing in fields I wouldn't get a buggy though....the savage X or the Assoc MGT would get my vote over the other ones.....
