Yeah ,thanks for the input. I wasn't really talking competetion wise, more in general. I mean when people ( not in the hobby) think of RC in General they Dont have a clue of there being any racing or organized events being held. They look at selection, quality, cost, and availability....
I own Revo 3.3, Rustler vxl, losi Lst, Savage xl 4.6, losi microT....
And there all different no one better just different...they all break eventually ...if you have fun and test their limits they will break.
I want another RC..hmmm?? Team Associated me thinks is next
The MGT 8.0 has been a very good truck. The engine can be hard to tune but is very reliable and has the best engine starting system IMHO. If you're looking for on road then look at the ofna dm 1 spec touring car. Very fast and easy to work on.
If you're looking at a competition level rig then Mugen & Losi would probably be my favorites but most manufacturers make race level kits. Traxxas is one of the few that doesn't. Mugen is one of the few that doesn't make bashers.
Yea XRAY makes top notch stuff. Only car of theirs I didn't like was their 1/12 pan car. Could not get it to stop pushing coming out of turns but that was just my exp with it
