Best micro RC around the house?

[Gearhead056]

Looking for a fun 1/16-1/18 rc car for racing around the house and maybe outside abit around $100. Was looking at the helion animus which looked pretty cool, but wasn't sure if that one or any others were good. Anyone have any recommendations?

@Gearhead056 define "best" as that's going to be a lot different for just about everyone you ask. I had a 1/16th E-Revo and that thing was just insane about of fun and speed so that would be my first recommendation. A lot of guys over at ECXForum.com really dig the 1/18th ECX Temper which is a rock crawler.

If you're wanting short course than the Helion Animus and ECX Torment both make fine choices!

It you're talking about IN the house, I'd go even smaller with a 1/24 like the Losi MicroSCT.

I second hamz idea. I have a Losi micro T, and with a couple mods it's almost too fast for in the house. A 1/16 or 1/18 unless you have a BIG house is going to run out of room quickly. I also have a MERV (mini E Revo 1/16) VXL version, and you might could run it indoors on non lipo packs. On lipos, even 2s, it's pretty fast.
