Need opinions

[ibanez830]

I've been thinking of getting another RC but I have no idea what one. I want to try some other company than HPI. I was thinking maybe something from Traxxas. Something thats strong and can handle some bashing and messing around. Anyone one have any opinions on what I should check out? Something on the cheaper side though lol. Buggy or a Truck
Thanks for the help

The Slash is at the top of the list for me. $200 and it's a pretty tough truck. Throw in some batteries and you're all set. Everyone that owns one says they are a blast to drive and can take a fair amount of abuse.

Alright, Gonna go check that out right now
Thanks

What do you plan on doing? Bashing or racing? Do you want something for off road use only or just on road, or both? What do you want to spend? Do you want Nitro or electric?

If your looking for a Nitro I strongly recommend the Losi Aftershock for strong and durability and Very affordable at only $320.00

Yeah sorry I wasn't too specific. Something thats good for bashing and just messing around. Preferably Nitro and under 350$ (CDN)

I don't know what 350 Canadian makes out to be, but look at the aftershock. You will love that rig.

Okay thanks I'll check it out
Any buggies that are good?
350.00 CAD = 286.703 USD

You could look at the hyper 7. Runs just about 300 USD on any given site. Always heard good things about them. But for 280 USD you don't have a nitro selection much at all. For 280 your pretty limited on electric.

Losi Aftershock +1.

 

[ibanez830]

Are parts for the Aftershock easy to get? and are there any bad things about the truck?

 

[LosiLST]

Have you heard anything about the LST2? Because it's pretty much the same truck with some weaker/different parts. As far as obvious weak points no, not that I can think of. Some people have bad luck with the engine but I have had that engine and it ran great. It does has plastic shocks but thats not too bad and are easy to upgrade. The truck is HUGE compared to a savage or maxx and handles great. Not one of the fastest trucks but it still runs good. Plus you have stock a JR XR2i Computer radio with 2 JR Z590M Servos for steering.

And as far as parts, anywhere except for Towerhobbies pretty much carries them.

Sounds good. Thanks for the help. I'll see, I might get it if I can get the money
