Default RE: Need some input; Rampage MT vs FG Hurricane C5

ORIGINAL: ausrcnut

Out of all you folks that own a Rampage, Smartech, Nutech, FG... which of the vehicles is Bash-Superior for build and performance out of the box....? Im hearing that the Rampage is good for the price, yet still needs strengthening, and that others are just overpriced. But basically out of the box quality, what do you think is recommended...? Im basically looking for (the Losi XXL or MGT8.0) of the 1/5 scale scene..?

Regards.
Nutech is pretty tough especially now that they come with V2 plastic Diff housings, stronger drive/diff cups, and so on. The Rampage XT/XB line is better than the old Rampage TT/MT/DuneRunner. Honestly if you have the money (since you mentioned FG) then go buy a Hurrax Yuckon. Very tough and it is the BIGGEST 1/5th scale on the market. Side by side with an FG MT it makes the fg look 1/8th scale.
