I'll recommend the Yokomo GT-4 RTR, simply because I have one. Very good chassis, 60mph capabilities, and quite durable.

 

[drkman07]

what do you guys think of the rs4 ss or the nitro 4-tec??






Frank

 

[NitroM3GTR]

Nitro 4-Tec=Not something you want. I've heard too many bad things about it.

 

[drkman07]

what about the rs4 ss??

I've heard good things about it, and it's definitely quick.

ofna ld3 for 320 bucks with a picco engine........I'm 60% done building mine its great........not a hard kit to build

If ur thinking of the RS4 SS, ur better off if the R40. Good racer and it's a step up from the RS4.

 

[drkman07]

but the thing is i really dont' plan on racing. i might race every now and then but thats about it. The car is going to be used mostly as a basher.

I've heard the R40 doesn't make the best basher.

 

[kwong2001]

Yeah that's probably cuz of the belts. I always tell people what everyone else says, avoid belts if you're a basher...cuz they'll break or get worn fast.

But to be perfectly honest, when i had my Nitro Ob4 (which is belt driven) I never once had rocks take out the belts. I DID have rocks in the spur gears though.

With that said, i'm still a little confused as to whether the R40 would be THAT bad of a basher or not.

U are correct. It's not a basher. Since he said he was going to race a couple of times I thought he might want another option to choose from.

 

[NitroM3GTR]

My GT-4 is belt driven, and the spur gears definitely do take a beating, whereas the belts stay fine...maybe I should get an NTC3 as a basher and race the GT-4. I would also like to add that with a $350 budget you can have a pretty nice NTC3.

The RS4 SS is not a bad option however the RS4 EVO is awesome. Has the new T-15 engine which makes more horsepower than the 12RSS and comes with a 2 speed as well and also comes with the roto start and the appropriate radio gear. If you want to race with it and be competitive you better have kind of a little money to put into it. The NTC3 is a great option for basher/racer it will be competitive either which way from what I understand.

 

[NitroM3GTR]

The engine in the RS4 EVO makes more power than the 12RSS? Are you sure about that? If you are, that's a hell of a deal, $279.99 at Hobby People.

 

[drkman07]

thanks alot guys. what are your comments on the ntc3 and the any other onraod??





Frank

 

[NitroM3GTR]

NTC3 is probably the best supported onroad out there, and there are reasons it's as popular as it is. For a first time on-roader I think it is a great choice.

 

[drkman07]

rtr or kit form?? if i get kit form i wont be able to buy an engine for a while. but if i buy the rtr form i just gonna upgrade most of the parts anyway. so what am i better off with?? I think the kit would be good for me but then i will just have to hold off on the engine and stuff. and my b-day is in the begining of march which means more money:LoL:

but if i do get the kit what engine should i geT??

O.S. makes a good line of engines that will fit it, but I'm not really an expert on that. Both of the engines I've run came with the car.
