i would definatly go with the avalanche. sweet truck. i was watching them race at the track with savages and they keep right up

twomanytoys

Well if teh avalanche is on a track with a savage it would kill it. Plain and simple. The savage wont handle like an avalanche.

i have decided to go with the ultra wide

are the tires and rims 2.2?
and is the hex 12mm?

rc rock

that wouldn't be my choise....
yes their 12 mm hex
don't know 'bout the 2.2

ehroof

yes, 12mm hex, the rims are more like 2.8

dominicevans

if money isn't an issue go with the monsoon or avalanche...1/8s are better

ok im a noob ill be doing lots of jumps and want to go fast over real rough stuff pretty much just bashing ultrawide or volcano sv or volcano s30 which one i really like the ultrawide because of its aluminum and 2 speed but would i just be better off with a volcano with a single speed? about 250 is max money

My Feedback: (2)

Hey nitrozach. I have the ultrawide, and one of the best upgrades you can get are the aluminum c-hubs. I've broken so many c-hubs I can't count. I put the aluminum hubs on, and haven't had a problem. Oh yeah, and order plenty of extra drive cups. All of them.

You want to play and jump get a buggy [:-] period [&o]

One word..

AVALANCHE! [sm=punching.gif]


I really like the look and stance on the Avalance BUT the jumping and control of the Monsoon is sick. That's why I have the Avalanche tires and shell on a Monsoon kit with the back wing off! :P Off the line speed is ILL...

perhamrocks

get the volcano s30 i'm not sure if it has the upgraded aluminum shocks, but if not get the t-maxx shocks of of ebay for $25 then it will take all the jumps you want

i think i should have gone with the ultrawide. looks like a much more simple design than volcano. less parts to replace..

I totally agree with you John....buggy is the way to go...you also want to skip the 1/10ths and ultralights...they WILL NOT take the abuse a 1/8th buggy will...I seen you said $250 is your max...save up a lil more cash and buy a 1/8th, I promise you that you will be much happier and spend alot less in the long run

Affordable RC ([link]http://www.affordablerc.com[/link]) has the Hurricane for $276 shipped!

firebird78

if ya order a hurricane there is a couple little things you need to do.....like with any rc ya need to locktite all screws going into metal, make sure all the screws are tight and your carb settings are set...you also will need to remove the screws that hold the front arms to the steering knuckle...ya need to get screws approx 3 mm longer...then before going back together put a couple drops of tire glue (super glue) on the threads...this will help keeping the screws coming loose and or the threads in the knuckle to become stripped

whats the best buggy or truggy (4wd) i could get for under 250 1/10 scale with lots of aftermarket for them

brap230

o and no go on the ultrawide? cause thats the one i really like

firebird78

seriously.....buy a 1/8th....you will be much happier

firebird78

you wont find very many if any aftermarket parts to fit any redcat except redcat upgrade parts....

brap230

alright with the 1/ 8s i was looking at either the himoto viper 2s or the himoto mxt 2s choices man []
or 1/10 himoto mtr2s or 3

firebird78

the viper 2s is a 1/10th and its based on the megap series......I have the mtr-3 and although its a nice truggy its still doesnt compare to a 1/8th...how hard are you planning to bash??...and how big of jumps you planning on?.

amf66

Well not 1/10th can really beat the durability of a 1/8th since the parts are larger and thicker. But if you are going to go with 1/10th I think the ones your thinking of getting are the best you can get! [8D]

brap230

well i got my nitro stampede running today and im just gonna beat the hell out of it so im just gonna a and mtr 3 for goin fast and medium jumps and bashing
