Default RE: 1/18th scale buggy?


ORIGINAL: luvdisstuff

Good choice. i like duratrax products.
Gotta disagree I've had 3 different Duratraxx products and the main problem with Duratrax is they discontinue
an item after a year or two, then you can't get parts anymore.
I had a Duratrax Maximum ST, They discontinued it and introduced a new Stadium truck. Icould no longer get parts.
I then bought a Duratrax Overdrive ST. They discontinued it and introduced a new Stadium truck. Icould no longer get parts
This has now been sitting on a shelf for 4 years.
I then bought Traxxas, when they upgrade a vehicle they keep the model and the parts will fit the older ones. (T-maxx anyone???)

You want Quality, durability and parts availability, look to Traxxas.
Right now I've got 1/18th Electric (XTM Rage, Losi Mini-T), 1/16th Electric (Traxxas Mini E-Revo)and Nitro (Chaos)1/10th Nitro (Traxxas T-maxx 2.5, Duratrax Overdrive ST, Duratrax Steetforce (Yup can find replacement parts for either duratrax) The T- maxx still runs strong and I can get parts)
And the most fun one is the Traxxas 1/16th Brushless Mini E-Revo

Forget the 1/18th buggy all together, and go for the Mini E-Revo. You won't regret it.
