Bo staff for the win. Cowabunga dudes!
Back on topic, I have a friend with a HPI Nitro Bullet. Good car.
Depending how rough the ground is, the HPI Blitz might be a good choice, it's pretty cheap with brushed motor, and tough as nails. If the ground is a bit rougher, yeh, Firestorm.
The trouble with electric is that while it has low running costs, the setup costs can be quite steep. You want brushless motors and lipo batteries, so you need a good charger as well, and that starts pushing intial costs up. They're worth it though, as the batteries and charger can be used in other models later.
doh, are you saying I need to start looking at nitro vehicles as well.
I can't look through 1/3 of the options for just electric and now you want me to add nitro as well, you guys are killing me.
Is nitro hard to keep runnign with temp/evevation changes? I know absolutely nothing about them, I guess I will start looking. Thanks!!
There's definitely a steeper learning curve with nitro, but if you're used to playing with 2 strokes, then you shouldn't have any problems. Most engines anymore are so dead-nuts reliable and easy to tune (compared to 10-15 years ago, at least) it's not even funny.
