hi, i am new to "onroad" i have a xtm x-cellerator off road truck, and i like it and all but theres somthing about onroad cars that i like, i wouold like to get one, but i dont want to spend alot of $ cuz i still need to maintain my xtm, and then i was thinking i could get an electric onroad, plz help me, would it be even worth it to get and electric onroad,-- any advice would be great thanks

:shrug:

---and i would want one that is easy to run so i dont have to worry about it having engine trouble cuz i seem to have bad luck with thouse things - thanks
 
andrew you trader!! what the heck are you doing in this room, ON road you loser we are offroaders kid, man you're thinknig about buuying one! you trrying to hide from me in ON road room, you want good car get the moster gt!!
 
I had the same delema a while back and wasn't sure if i should run electric or nitro (onroad) .
Electric is great if weather is factor, u can run indoors throughout the winter, but Nitro is much funner then electric, anyhow when i priced everything, getting into electric cars woulda been more expensive because i woulda needed new gear (Good batterys,charger,motors,esc) etc. and since u alrdy have a nitro truck and all the gear, it would be more cost efficient to get a nitro onroad car.
Thats what i ended up doing, now I'm a proud owner of a SaVaGe .25 and a RS4 3, in the long run nitro is more espensive but also alot more fun
Hope that helps ya a bit

RC4lyfe what type of bashing do ou plan to do with this on road. If you have off roaders that's good cuz depending on where you live you may not want to run your on road in the winter. Ok if racing is your deal and parking lot bashing the best I hear is the Associated Nitro TC3 it is shaft driven and is really competitive. I have the RS4 3Type SS and love it. Had to put some real money into it to make it competitive and I still don't know if it is there but it is do able.
 
cool thanks for all your info, i might look into it or i just might save up for a xtm mamoth.. i dunno but thank you verry much for your help. :transform
