I'm good with either. RTR is going to be cheaper I think even though I had fun Building my Tekno.
Most, if not all, quality 1/8 scale rigs are going to run you $700+
Whats up bud. To be honest any RTR will need upgrades. Doesn't matter the manufacturer. RTR's are just mass produced cars/trucks with the cheapest parts and electronics available. To get them out and on the shelves.
@STONER RC That's why right now I'm leaning more toward another Tekno. Only thing is I would like another 1/8 but I don't want a Buggy since I've already got the DB48. I'm a Woods/Trail type guy. I'm in process now of Clearing out a nice patch of woods to Make a Trail/Track. It will have areas with jumps to open the throttle up but it will also just have a little bit of everything. Roots, Twigs, Rocks, Mud Holes, ect... So Just want one more for that type terrain to add to my other 3 cars. Once I add one more that gives me 4 different ones to have all the fun I need. I just want to make sure to get the best for my type terrain for my 4th and last vehicle.
The best type of RC would be one that you build. And build it for what you want to use it for. There isn't any "BEST" they all have faults. So I would say build your own for what you want it for. That would be the "BEST" rc for the money... to be honest sounds like you got a fun back yard bud. Happy bashing
Thanks, Are there anyway to build a Tekno 1/8th SCT or MT? If I'm right both of those are only 1/10th scales. If I could build either of those in 1/8th then yes I would have the "Best" for my type terrain!
Between 1/10 and 1/8 isn't that big of a difference. They are basically the same. And some manufacturers say their RC's are 1/8 but they are really 1/10. And vice-versa.
The only rigs that are going to be good rigs for trails and woods would be a scaler, crawler, or trail truck. Anything else I can think of is going to be too fast to run in the woods. If you limited the throttle input then you could make other trucks work possibly but you'd probably want something like a MT for the extra ground clearance. Just my
But when I say Trail/Woods the Track I'm building will be Dirt once it's Scraped it will have quite some long Stretches to open them up. The Track will just be through Some Trees not just wide open like a race track. The guy is coming Monday to look at clearing it out. I'm going to have several jumps in the straights. So this is not really what you'd say a Trail Truck type deal. It's basically going to be a track that just winds through the trees. So yes there will be a few roots and little stuff like that in spots but that's about itThe only rigs that are going to be good rigs for trails and woods would be a scaler, crawler, or trail truck.

In that case you should be g2g with a SCT
Thanks for all your input! I'm just trying to go with something little different than what I already have and I guess since I don't have a SCT that's probably about my best option.In that case you should be g2g with a SCT
Good idea. I have never owned an SCT either, but would love to get one. Will be looking forward to seeing the new play area.
Yeah it's just a matter of getting it all cleared out. My friend does Clearing/Grading so he's supposed to come Monday and look at it. It's a spot about .25 of an acre. I could really open it up if I wanted to take down some bigger trees but that would cost me too much. If I can get all the underbrush taken out and all the leaves scraped up I will be in good shape. Only thing will be fall of the year clearing all the leaves away but that's what my backpack blower is for
