If you had a grand to walk into a hobbystore and purchase any NITRO rc, what would you buy?

xerxes

nitro?

in dat case, none.

jermpool

tough one, either rc8t or revo 3.3, Prob 8t

xTHExSA1NTx

I think I would have to go with Losi XXl and use the rest on some nice Savox servos and a gallon of fuel

sheograth

An 1/8 scale buggy or truggy probably.

xerxes

nitro xhaust maiks me nauseas & lite headed. only non electric vehicle i desire is da redcat 1/5 dune runner

jermpool

I really wish this guy would learn to spell.

savage flux hp, of a losi eight T 2.0.

sit yourself in his shoes, so what his grammer is bad, but he wants to take part in discussions on these forums, how would you feel if you were constantly being attacked and being made fun of for poor grammer. his posts are still well enough to read. just my 2 cents. arent we a welcoming bunch on rcu

+1. I'd probably go for a truggy.

You do realize that he purposely uses bad grammar and spelling, right? Not to mention the fact that his "contribution" to this specific thread was two posts about how he wouldn't buy a nitro vehicle. Also, the Savage Flux is not a nitro vehicle.

i would be smart and use it on a vorza flux becuz i wouldnt get a nitro and spend the rest 500 on lipos

If you're new to the RC scene, I'd go 1/8th nitro buggy. OFNA products are good. If you are comfortable with slightly more complex machinery, a HPI Savage (nitro) can be a lot of fun.

With the buggy, it will work well right out of the box, although a stronger steering servo is a typical upgrade. With the Savage, your choices of upgrades, modifications, and general personalization, are virtually endless (plus hearing that 3-speed shift twice has a significant "cool" factor...LOL).

jermpool

on second thought maybe an 8ight-t or a savage or mgt, guess it would come down to what was in stock, so it would be one of the following

Associated MGT 8.0
HPI savage 5.9
Traxxas Revo 3.3
Associated RC8T
Losi 8ight-t

Would be a very tough decision because I hve no nitro right now

xTHExSA1NTx

$500 worth of lipos! come to think of it, you could spend 500 on 2 lipos lol, just thought it would be fun to see what people would buy, I was thinking about it today, man I wish I had 1000 just to blow on toys!

djyjrlz

probably spend it on bits to make something totally unique. like a 4wd blitz or a solid axle front engine nitro muscle car.

378

My Feedback: (4)

Hrm...

1: Baja 5B(Yes, I know it's gas, but it's still fuel powered)
2: Slayer + Revo gearbox + FS26C or FS30 converted to car use. Either engine would end up with a pull start.
3: SC8 + FS40C-SX + supercharger
4: AE MGT 8.0 + FS40C-SX
5: Savage X-SS + reverse module + 3-speed + AR6110E receiver + FS40C-SX
6: Tamiya Globe Liner + the necessary parts to convert it to glow
7: Kyosho Mad Force + OS 21 of some sort

You're missing out on so much awesome, my friend.

Probably another 8ight.

The Mad Modder

+1 If I had $1000 to spend(and a decent sized yard), I'd go with a 5b because it's big and I could afford it. Plus it doesn't cost as much in fuel to run.

SyCo_VeNoM

another Savage, but with all the trimmings like a modded engine

or like 378 a baja

Ttam Says Blarg

Probably start racing nitro touring cars.

steed2-inactive

i didn't realize he did that on purpose, ignore what i wrote. sorry jermpool. i also didnt read the post properly, as far as nitro, well it all depends on what your into i guess. my favourites are monster trucks and truggy's. the savage x 4.6 is a pretty stout little truck and offers lots of fun for under 500 bucks.

In this hobby a grand is not much at all, especially when you have a family and mortgage payment and something breaks on your car and it kills you to have to wait for payday to get it back up and running <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< been there so many times....       Heres another one, someone just dropped a wod of cash and you pick it up, your an rc enthusiast, do you give it back, or do you go straight to the hobby store?

Argess

Are you saying your original post was merely a hypothetical question? Maybe you should have made that clear from the start.

As far as someone dropping a wad of cash, it's not yours, so give it back. Too easy.

xTHExSA1NTx

lol, its all hypothetical, and not everyone would give it back, i would because i have bad karma

jermpool

no worries, but I actually do have bad grammar, I get corrected all the time, Its the way he spells, I feel like if you are to lazy to type out the entire word T-H-E and have to use "da" you shouldn't be replying on a message board. Just my opinion
