Getting a car

[tjcoops]

its my birthday on the 17th, and i might get a bit of money, so i thought, i'll buy another nitro buggy (my last one had a sticky ending), i'll probably get between £120 and £200,
i want an RTR nitro buggy, i like the sound of the vrx 2 here
but I'm not sure, anyone have any suggestions?

I've never heard of that brand. Your best bet would be to save up your money and get a more widely known brand, and then it will make getting parts easier, and overall performance will be better. It's always good to have a supply of parts at your LHS.

 

[tjcoops]

so can you recommend anything?

 

[Suicide]

get a revo. they are a blast for noobs and dedicated racers

 

[tjcoops]

what do you think of the traxxas nitro sport or traxxas nitro rustler?

 

[RusTLeRx350]

I think the Rustlers are a pretty sweet vehicle, for the price. Most people here are going to recommend a Savage, but they cost a good bit more.

 

[tjcoops]

I'm jus annoyed, because in america you can get an hpi firestorm for roughly £132, here in the uk its £220.
its mad

 

[RusTLeRx350]

Check eBay. You can save 100's.

i like the look of the hotbodies gt10

 

[RusTLeRx350]

Hmm, Hot bodies...I'm not too familiar with them, but I believe they're a good brand.

revo and rustler are good cars i got both. revo runs great and rustler breaks more parts

The Schumacher Rascal 2

What does everyone think of the schumacher rascal 2, its looks quite cool and sounds good but how strong and fast is it?

 

[frickenjoey]

Actually Hot Bodies is a good brand they are made by HPI. I have a Lightning 2 1/8 scale and it is a very tough buggy. Very good for a RTR.

 

[tjcoops]

well I've rounded my choices down to either the hotbodies gt 10, schumacher riot 2 or schumacher rascal 2.
can someone give me a comparison of the three
