About traxxas. Their nitros are not so good from what I read. Electrics are mostly fine, but they like to throw their Traxxas 3.3 engine in things that should have a big block engine. Other issues are the EZ-start(or whatever traxxas calls it) is just another part to brake, adds extra weight, and complicates things. Personally I'm against rotostarts, and automated starters after I royally trashed an engine with one.
Gotcha, glad I didn't buy traxxas on an impulse as the hobby shops in Portland or almost 100% traxxas. After much more reading I thinks I will get either a rc8, kyosho inferno, or an ofna -jammin or hyper (not sure which ofna is better?) and make it truggy esque. I may also bumb my budget up to the $550 range. The
mugen mbx6tlooks good to, but I would be concerned on parts support. Any thoughts on those choices?
EDIT: leaning toward the kyosho inferno neo st, looks like a solid truggy for $419 shipped
