RTRs are ok for just starting out, but in the end, going the RTR route usually costs you a lot more in the end. With RTR kits, the servos and radio usually suck and you wind up replacing them soon after you get the buggy. The RTR versions of buggies usually have lesser quality parts on them too; and this causes breakages and such that require you to replace them. I know that at least some manufacturers use 6061 aluminum for the chassis in the RTR models while going with the much better 7075 in their pro versions.
Just be sure to do your research before you buy anything. With this hobby, it is often a case of pay now or pay more later.
Im not stupid i know this already. Im just going to buy this, Replace All the parts with higher quality parts. Tune it up and so on try it out agienst some mates of mine with races and so on. Probs next year xmas ill buy a pro one and you all can help me choose
You apparently are stupid cause your about to do what aangelet told you not to do! You said your going by that RTR and spend a lot of money to upgrade it. The easy way is to buy a kit (that already has the right upgrades) and buy a decent radio system and the engine seperate. Like every other person on this forum would tell you that is the smart thing to do and will save you money in the future.
