speed, durability, on off road.

[ksrichard]

I thought i knew what i wanted next. I've been in the forums not sure if i want
Another mt. I'm looking for fast, durable, nice handling, on/off road. Did i mention
All the power i need for now.. Your input is appreciated. I like both of my tmaxx.
But both have carb issues.. Next nitro i buy will get sealed before its ever started.

 

[tmaxx 3.3 boss]

Revo has pretty good handling on and off road. It goes 45

 

[ksrichard]

I was lookn at a revo. Having bad luck with traxxas tho. I'm not ruling out my inexperience as the
problem.lol.. I was also lookn at xl. Ultra lx2. Dont have to be mt. Could be buggy/truggy. Thanks
For your input. All is welcome.

Truggy look at a Losi 8ight 2.0. If ya want an MT I would to an Losi LST or LST2 if the budget allows. Might also consider and Associated MGT. Just not the 8.0 engine. If you got a 8.0 roller and put and LRP motor in it your good to go. However the 4.6 MGT is the basically the same just better engine. Just my opinion.

What's your budget? The Losi LST XXL is a great truck, it has the durability for most bashing but it also handles really well. Plus the XXL's factory tires seem to never die, and make nice screeching sounds while sliding on blacktop.

I would go with a truggy myself. It gets you a great handling vehicle that's fast and handles great as well as a bit more ground-clearance than a buggy. If you're looking for a great quality product and don't mind paying a bit more, X-Ray makes top notch kits.

 

[ksrichard]

Budget is around 800-1000. I want to make the right choice. I only have local parks to run at. And a huge empty plot. I could get mad air at the park with the right truck.

 

[EXTREME1]

if you want big air go with buggy

 

[ksrichard]

Big air is nice but i also want massive power to climb steap mounds. Heavy bore shocks to handle impact of big air. And speed to open up on blacktop. 45mph or faster of course.

 

[ozziii]

Revo with a bigger better engine.

 

[ksrichard]

What do u recommend.

 

[Greywolf74]

Buggies will handle big air as well as anything and they handle better in the air. They will also be faster onroad than a MT but if the terrain your going to be running on is grassy or really rough then youd probably want a MT. I personally like the XXL/LST2 or my second MT pick would be a Savage.

 

[EXTREME1]

revo w/bb is what you need.you can buy all the parts off ebay and for what a new revo cost you can build a bb revo monster.if u want to know what and where just let me know have all the #'s

 

[Greywolf74]

If I were going to go with a REVO Id put an OS .21TM in it or some other high RPM small block in it personally but if you're gonna be doing a lot of big air stuff you'll need to do quite a few hop ups to it first. Its fast for a MT and handles well but out of the box durability leaves a lot to be desired IMO.

 

[ksrichard]

A big thanksgiving thanks to all. Great info. Not sure where ill run or what ill do. But whatever i
Decide i want to be able to do it.... With pride...knowing oh yaaah i own this beast...

 

[SchrodeMode]

With that price range, Losi 8ight-T. That is the TLR kit version that has the upgraded parts, it'll leave some money for the components needed to finish it. You could also get the RTR version and send the engine over to ERCM for a mod and pipe.

 

[MudSlinger33]

^^+1. The 8ight-T would be well worth the money. Its durability compared to the revo is second to none.

 

[Greywolf74]

The Losi 8ight-T is an awesome rig

 

[ksrichard]

That looks awesome!!! Id want rtr. There are 2. Losb0083. W/dx2.0;&, losb0085 w/dx3s. For $50.
It be worth getting the better radio. Seen bad reveiws on servos. Thats about it for cons. That would do everything i posted and a little more. I couldnt find top speed. Can anyone help with that.
Thanks for your help. Losi in top 3 of choices. Losi, revo, savage. Hmmmmm!

 

[Zdragon71]

You can also get the losi 8ight-T rtr for $799 and it comes with a bump box and a spectrum DX3S radio with all telemetry and 10 model memory. For your price range losi 8t is definately the way to go.

As far as speed I'm sure it will run 50+ with a bigger clutch bell than stock.
