Hi again,
As I said in my introduction post, I have been researching a little on nitro cars, in particularly off road buggies and truggies.
E-bay Listing
Ebay has a million of them, mainly from HSP. I've also found these same trucks on the Chinese version of e-bay, as well as other Chinese import/export websites. This makes me believe that they are rubbish, and I will spend more time buying spare parts for them that actually driving it. The feedback from some of the buyers suggests that.
"Car broke first time I used it, etc."
Perhaps I am looking for the holy grail - a car (RTR or not) that is strong and doesn't need upgrades to get it smokin'. I will be driving it mainly around construction sites and rough places like that, but don't want to be fixing suspension parts, wheels and frames every 30 minutes. I am not against looking after it....you know what I mean.
Buggies, Truggies & MT's......
I like the look of the Truggies - that mix between MT and buggy. They look like Dakar Rally cars - fast yet strong. Do the Buggies take a beating? They seem to be a little cheaper than the Truggies.
Other brands I have come across that I like the look of....
Seben Racing Nitrozilla
Associated Factory
DuraTrax
So, in all that, I guess what I am saying is - What would you guys says is a fast, reliable car that doesn't need me spending hours on it changing parts because they snapped. Having said that, I am not looking for the top-of-the-line model, set up for racing.
