Default RE: Making a comeback NEED ADVICE

If you want a kit those are kind of rare outside Tamiyas

If monster Truck HPI Savage X or XL can take some royal abuse (RTR )
Buggy Hong Nor X1x CR (RTR again) Got one can take some decent abuse
Truggy Hong Nor X2 CRT (RTR) I got a X1 CRT and it is pretty durable. The X2 is supposed to be better in every way
Stadium truck HPI Bullet Don't own one (HPI won't sell em in the US...) but they are remade lightning GT10's that were known for being robust.

Basically it almost don't matter if you buy a RTR or kit seeing most RTR's should be completely taken apart before running to make sure the diffs and gears are shimmed right, and in the buggy and truggies case to add diff fluid and clean out the grease.

If you need any info on the hong nor X's look up reviews on Ofna Jammin's (what they are sold as in the US)

out of the 4 I named the savage will take the most punishment with the least broken parts (I only bash my RC's) The Jammin CRT would be #2 in abuse taking


Think HPI makes a RS4 evo 3 with a subaru body
