Also to be clear-I’m absolutely recommending “race grade” kits for bashing. It’s exactly what I do, and have done for the last 20yrs wether also racing or not.. absolutely more durable, better components, better hardware, and don’t need a ton of upgrades to be capable. And of course-what
@CertifiedMike mentioned-built by YOU.
@332_RC is dead on with what he’s saying about his buddy too-I don’t race wallets anymore. The fun absolutely goes out the window for 95% of us when that happens. That being said; I have also attempted SINCE my serious racing days to run “quality” RTR’s.. I had an absolutely BULLETPROOF Arrma Talion 1/8 brushless truggy, outfitted with the perfect amount of aftermarket goodies without going overboard, as well as top notch aftermarket electronics. It just wasn’t nearly as capable, reliable, or fun to work on/maintain as my kit vehicles. I quickly unloaded it, and picked up another Tekno for Mrs. Littlemotor, and SHE couldn’t be happier with the change.. RTR ANYthing eats parts faster than any top tier kit manufacturer’s vehicle. Many will get upset about this statement too, but it’s the truth; so does 6s
. Also the fact that this isn’t just a one night stand to the hobby. Now that it’s been established you’re in there like swimwear, and are already feeling the need for a proper non RTR radio setup (which can, and should run several vehicles-i also understand you have multiple drivers), a kit is where it’s at for sure.
