Which???
I'm Looking to step up to nitro, and wondering which is best. A little info about myself: I have driven wal-mart rc cars for a long time and bought a radio shack 1/18 scale dune buggy a few years ago and a Duratrax Evader ST last year and I have flown glow rc planes for 2 years( in other words I'm not new to glow engines).

RE: Which???
What are you looking to do, race or bash? Where will you be running it?
I have the firestorm and I think it's a great truck, but I don't know about the other two. The storm and the gt2 are probably going to be better quality than the evader, but i'd let someone with more experience chime in to make sure

I will be running it in the street on front of my house and my back yard mostly and some at a dirt, bicycle track, and of course I hope to drive at the track I mentioned too. And I want to get one that I can race in club races without many hopups if any.

RE: Which???
I would go with the GT2 as it will handle the best, but if you don't want to run it at the track the Firestorm is a bit more durable but parts a a little harder to find.

Knowing what I know now after 8 years with cars/trucks, if I was only going to just bash around,, I'd jump head and get a 1/8th 4x4,, buggy or truggy,,
They are much more durable, handle rough terrain and grass better and are only a few more dollars for an entry level RTR car
You get board with a ST doing doughnuts quick
But of those 3, the AE car for sure
good luck

You'll find these are much trickier to tune than a Plane engine,, but you'll get it.

RE: Which???
I would go with Chris on this since i have the hyper 7 tq black and it is the best bang for your buck. The only difference compared to other 1/8th buggies is that its an older platform but is tough as nails. Dirt cheap only $280
