My Feedback: (1)

It depends if you want on road or off road. If you want off road, I think most would agree that the volcano is a good starter.

popo59

are there any specific valcano models i should get???

popo59

also i live in Bradenton FL and was wondering if there are any tracks around?

Connormon

well it depends on you budget, how much do you want to spend?

popo59

i was hopping to not spend over 250 so what do you recamend?

jguitarsandcars

I personally like the buggies better...I've always liked them low...they handle a lot better...but you don't have the ground clearance when you're bashing.

Connormon

Well if you dont want to spend more than $250 then you should get a Volcano SV at a minimum. If you are realling to spend around 270 then get the Volcano SV pro. It comes with a whole bunch of upgrades installed on it. 259 on www.Topspeedtoys.com. But then you would need to buy a starter kit and all that stuff too.

what do you think of the tremor? oh and thanks.

bluecaka69

to small for the price rolls easy and dont have much of an engine
volcano sv or sv pro `would be the best to start out with

popo59

bluecaka69

Redcats are one of the most affordable brands in nitro RC, The volcano STX is still $160, but id spring an extra $20 the SV, because it's probably more durable (its the latest Volcano). Personally, Id go for the SV pro, cause its got alot of aluminium parts, but if your looking to not spend alot, definately the Volcano SV

popo59

is the tornado sv single or two speeds?

popo59

also why are the 1s on that website so much cheaper??

Connormon

Popo i was trying to figure that out myself, but i can assure you mark (Topspeedtoys) is a great buisness person and obviously has some great prices going on right now. If im not mistaken i think theyre having a sale. I would get the Volcano SV. Its not too expensive and its got a few more upgrades than does the Volcano STX. I personaly dont much like buggies for various reasons and think trucks are just all around much more fun.

popo59

is the volcanoe sv a 2 speed??

Connormon

Ummm...no i dont think it is. Here are the specs for the STX SV and SV Pro: http://redcatracing.com/itemdetail.a...partno=VOLCANO

Connormon

You look for what you want. They are all nice cars.

popo59

popo59

and if they have trucks what site can i look at them on?

popo59

do the ones on topspeedtoys still come with a radio??

MrCheezeWhizz

Himotos are basically the same as redcats.
Yes, Redcats are RTR, so they all come with a radio
