Status: offline 		Anybody have any experience or seen/heard anything about the Ansmann Kryptonite Pro Truggy? I can get a roller for 1/3 the price of an RC8T CE for ex. Just want a casual mess-around truggy for testing engines, messing around, the occasional laps at the track, etc.. I hear it's tough, but heavy. But yeah, not gonna be racing seriously, so don't care about weight. Just want it to be reliable and tough..

Status: offline 		I find it most odd that I haven't heard of it, I thought I knew Ansmann's entire line up. It must have been discontinued some time ago, there's not even a single article about it on their site.

Get a brushless terrier 2.0 if you want a cheap trug.

Status: offline 		Yep, nitro.. Have asked on a German forum, and like two guys said the Kryptonite is much better than the Terrier. They say it's pretty much a "complete package", with the only downside being the weight(and some shoddy quality screws). So I guess it's heavy, which is not a big deal downside afaic. But I'm still maintaining some skepticism.. Wish I could see one up close. The Terrier just looks cheap IMO. The Kryptonite Pro looks decent in pictures at least.

A few days ago he said he wanted brushless. Still recommend the Terrier as a cheap nitro trug.

Status: offline 		Was(still am) selling my RC8.2 and had the idea of getting an SC8E, since I already have an SC8. It seems though getting started in brushless is more than what I want to spend.

Status: offline 		Yeh, the initial hit is big with electric, but then you've got equipment that is common to all electric cars, the second electri kit is invariably much cheaper than the first, but yeh, I hear ya.
