Default Just got a NEMESIS and some ???'s

Hello to all of you out there, I just wanted to say I just got a NEMESIS 7.7 and I hope it's all that it's cracked up to be. I have had several MT's in the past and was wondering how you would measure this to them, as far as bashing, durabilty, and racing. I've had the Savage, Revo, and LST. The Savage was the most durable, the LST is next, and the Revo was last. Although the Revo was a good racer, just not up to the bashing. I really put the savy through the wringer and it kept comin' back for more, so I can't complain at all, very low maintenance. So how do you think the Nemy will hold up and what upgrades can I do to better enhance its durabilty and performance? Will a .28 engine have enough oomph for it to go and still go quick? Just a few questions, I hope someone can answer them for me. Thanks to all.

CEN team drivers are running a .28 if that helps. I don't have a nemesis, i have the genesis. So far the only thing I keep breaking is the linkages, specifically the rod ends. They seem very hard and don't have much flex. Other than that I beat the snot out of it and it's held up pretty good. If only RPM would make an upper A-arm and some rod ends................[]

Tashspop, I can look at this and tell you that repairs will be similar to that of a Savage, not extremely difficult but not as easy as your Maxx. I also had one of them and you can access everything pretty easily, not so with either of these( Savage/Nemesis). To look at either of these though the quality of build seem to be just alike in many ways, the Savage I can say would absolutely take a beating, 10ft jumps, cartwheels at WOT, etc, etc. I have yet to run my Nemesis so the build quality of it is still questionable in my book, but like michelob78 said of his Genesis, it should be good with minor exceptions. I don't know about your Maxx but mine was always breaking something and that's why I got rid of it, same with the E Maxx and Revo. On the other hand, my duratrax would break often too, but parts were rather cheap to replace so it didn't bug me as bad. But again, I never had any probs out of the Savy, but I did do a number of upgrades to prevent breakage and would recommend them to any Savy owner. They were CVD's, extended 1" chassis, alum. brake hub, 3 speed, cam servo saver, alum. clutch shoes, and 4 gear diffs. That will run about an additional 200 from ebay for all this, but the newer Savy's come with some of these parts already. The chassis isn't ness. but it is stronger and keeps it from flipping on its lid with more power. I'll have to get back to you though on the Nemesis. Thanks for your post, I hope others take the time as well. Good luck and keep me posted.
