New backyard (grass) truck / car suggestion
Hi everyone,
I'm just starting to get into the hobby and was hoping everyone could give me suggestions on a new car or truck. Primarily it would beused forracing/messing aroundin a 1/4-1/2acre backyard track (normal cut grass only fornow), but I would like the capabaility to take it elsewhere (off roading)if possible.
So my biggest wants in this vehicle would be in order of importance
1.Enough power/clearance to race a friend through grass
2. Around budget of $300-$400
3. preference toward electric, but could be convinced otherwise
4. Prefer "Car-Like" bodies rather than monster truck look, (For example Ilikethe look of Rustler, Jato, Firestorm) over monster truck varietybut if a car-type body can't handle well in grass I would rule it out).
5. RTR's as well as I'm not interested in building it yet. I realize repairs will be in my future, but I just don't want to start with having to build it.
To give you an example of what I've been looking at:
E-Firestorm 10T Flux BL RTR
Traxxus - Stampede VXL Brushlees, RTR
Traxxus - 1/16 E-RevoVXL4WD RTR- concerned about grass/off road ability due to small scale
Nitro RS4 MT2 3.0(glow) RTR
?????
Any ideas, commentsor suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks ahead of time for your input
Also, I have done searches for this already but none of the existing threads had my same concerns or price range.
