Quality comes with a $$$$. The more you spend the better the quality. These RTR largescale are money pits under $1000. But if your going to buy one then look for one that you can parts fast. Your going too need them.

On Ebay OversizeRc sells FS-racing 940$ inc shiping.
Is it good deal or better to go Smartech or Redcat ?
Thanks for so many responses.

If I were to buy one I would definately get the one from Smartech (Nutech) as it is of decent quality make and you should have good parts support and availibility. The Titan is a proven performer (check through the threads). The other makes have yet to prove themselves. They may also turn out to be great models, but then again..... Good luck in your decision and welcome to largescale RC'ing! [8D]

So buying a kit that has to be put together but has the same parts is better? I.E. cheaper?

on www.oversizerc.com Smartech Titan is about 1300$, FS-Racing is about 900$ including shiping.
400$ is good money, does titan worth it?
