For bashing, tough call. 4-tec is brutal fast stock, but has some issues with steering and consistent handling. Parts wear out very fast as well and hard to get at most stuff on it. The gpx4 rtr is a great basher, I upgraded mine over the winter to pro version and it handles great, but not sure on durability as I don't bash with it. The g4s I have heard good things about, but no 1st hand experience, I'm sure people who have them will chime in. I would go with gpx4 pro or g4s, as the 4-tec is always needing work or fixing, and if you do go to a track, it's better to have a car that handles better. The gpx4 is also a pain to work on for regular maintenance like changing belts and diff maintenance. For not a whole lot more money, why not the x-ray nt1? Nvrmnd, forgot, you wanted a basher. I'm sure more will put in some good info soon.

drebins2003

thanks for that little bit of info was a great help so the 4tech as hit the bin already lol and ill have a look nt 1 dont mind paying for it if its and good just dont wanna by **** that breaks every 10 mins like hpi cars do lol

Cypriot Boy

i think you would be better of with the GPX4 Pro, i owned it, and its a tough car, with dessent speed. have had expirience with the G4S, but the best for bashing is the GPX4

ferrarimk13

RS4 is the toughest car out there, in 10th scale. and its a better buy then the 4tec ,which is a piece of crap, handling wise. And no racer is good for bashing.

drebins2003

right so the 4tech is crap but i wot admit that the xray nt 1 that cem mentioned looks preety sweet tho sp leave the g4s aswell then???? and as for hpi i had 1 didnt like it sorry to say .....

Cypriot Boy

sorry but cant understand what you are saying..... so you want a basher or a racer??if a basher i told you if you want a racer then go for the G4RS or the NT1, but if you will be just bashing then its not worth it....

Osirisf16

I agree with you that the NT1 look sweet. Did you ver seen the kyosho evo RRR WC? Now that is sweet About the 4-TEC, DON'T BOTHER man, is just a big waste of money. The car is a totally crap. Not even for fun i don't buying that $h!t [:'(] As for basher, i agree that the RS4 is the greatest, BUT for racing...there are kyoshos, Mugens, Xrays and Team Magics of course. If you want it for bashing AND racing, then the GPX4 is for you. Any of these i listed are pretty good. BUT do not make the mistake and buy a 4-TEC. I MEAN IT!!! [)]

drebins2003

right all i want is something for ragging around car parks with due to the lack of nothing around hear like courses ect so we have to make up our own but off road there something lots of fun funf fun .we just use the local golf course lmao ow they dont like that at all but tuff **** so no to the 4tech i get the idea but need something thats be able to handdle the odd stone because none of the car parks are ultra smooth worst luck ... and wots this a kyosho inferno gt yet another 1 to add to my lists of wot the fuk to buy my heads getting gabbaged now hehehehe some 1 plz put me out of my misery plzzzzzzzzzzz

ferrarimk13

the IGT is an awesome basher, if you can get it, go for it.the GPX4's belts wear away fast in parking lots, like all belt car.s

Osirisf16

The ultimate 1/8 onroad basher is without a doubt the IGT. As for 1/10 scale, everything is in my previous post

drebins2003

so the inferno gt is a good choice then??? but i always thourt that kyosho were more like toys like tamiya plus thery look cheap and tacky and always break easly is this true??because i dont now any1 thats had a kyosho so dont realy no if there any good or not ??

ferrarimk13

no, kyosho is one of the best companies out there, tamiya is the one you should steer clear from. Kyosho is a lot like associated.

Osirisf16

Who the hell told you that thing? What kyosho he has? A Mini-Z? Man, i can tell you that Kyoshos are THE TOUGH. [>:] Kyosho =toys??????????? What the hell are you talking about? Then, so Mugen is, and Xray, and Serpent and ALL THE TOP BRANDS IN THE WORLD and the champions are Traxxas, CEN, Tamiya,......You make me laugh dude
Now lets be serious, shall we? Kyosho is like Ferrari. Rare to see it on the road but very popular in racing. they look cheap? Just a moment, did you see a kyosho before? If yes, what model and what age?

drebins2003

thats wot im saying iv never seen one or had one or now any 1 thats had 1 iv only ever had hpi traxxa and hoboa so dont know didlly ***** about kyosho i just want something thats going to last. so wots the 28 like on the inferno any good or just hop up str8 away or shud i say wots the frist hop up to buy on it???
been watch the igt on youtube looks pretty damn good and its 1/8 added bonus

Cypriot Boy

hey osiris how can kyosho be the ferrari, i see my tm g4rs as the ferrari!!!!

Osirisf16

The engines the only disadvantage of Kyosho that i can see because yes, to see the true abilities of the IGT, you must put a descent engine on it as all the world is doing, but anyway, they just run the stock engine untill it dies and then get a new proper one. There are very few RTR cars kyosho produce. All of its models are almost KIT.

IT'S A COMPARISON

drebins2003

hay boy do you rate kyosho like osiris dose????????

drebins2003

the only motor id swop it with wud be a novarossi now there the best pure italian throughbread

Osirisf16

Yeah, Novarossi did a great jump on onroad the last years. I see it like the TOP 1 onroad engine company in the world. Of course is always Sirio but that's other story. I heard that you must put a .28 engine on IGT so you can have descent speeds. The car sure is a little bigger than usual 1/8 onroads but i don't know what it would happen if i put a .21 engine on it. Lets hope someone who did this, tell us.

drebins2003

well i have a novarossi p5 on my hyper and novarossi pro 12 on my hpi wich i have sold and both motors are totaly amazeing no probs at all and as for being 1/8 scale i think the p5 has more then enough power with the right gear ratios to make the igt a force to be recond with if i get 1 of course lol

Cypriot Boy

yes go with novarossi engines, and as for my rating for kyosho, well i have never liked them and used them in person, i prefer other brands....(sorry about that osiris)

drebins2003

see every 1 has differant appinon about kyosho so going to have to wait and see if any other people tend to agree or disagree if they are any good or not[&o]

Osirisf16

No, it's cool man. It's just your opinion, as everybody's is. I don't have a problem with that.

Cypriot Boy

i have seen the GT and its a very nice fast car. as for kyosho its self i dont like it, i just dont like it, i dont know why!!! so go for the GT
