Im the guy who asked about the buggy for under $400 before, and now that i got one my brother wants one but he wants an electric for under $170. I know that not very much but he isnt as into it as me and he's younger. I know you guys can help me out here so plz respond

diputs

he also wants to have a good battery life (more than 20 min), and if u know of any nitros for that price range he would consider them also

thanks

your onlu chance of finding somthing in that price range is to buy it used... There are several places to look, but be carfull...

Actually, tell your brother to save $25 more dollars, and Tower Hobbies has the Nitor ST-15 for 189!!! That is an RTR w/ .15 motor and a radio, brand new, and I have heard decent things about it...

This would probably be perfect for him if he wanted to get into Nitro.

I would recommend this for anyone who maybe wanted to try out Nitro RC, but didn't want to go all out because they weren't sure if they really liked it yet. Finding out you don't like a hobby for $200 is a LOT better then finding out you don't like a hobby for $400+.

My buddy bought one (ST-15), it ran just fine and he had fun with it for a little while, but he just lost interest pretty quickly. He sold it and was only out a few $$$ for the experience.

EBAY is your best bet with that price range..

Nope... Ebay is a crapshoot- you can minimize risks by going with a reputable seller, but I think you have a 50/50 chance to get a good running used one there- experienced guys can find and fix problems on used Nitro RCs- your lil bro prob doesn't stand a chance to troubleshoot and fix a used Nitro.

Tower Hobbies, ST-15!

the st-15 is good for a beginner but not after ya have it awhile (too slow) i have one

ebay is good as long as you dont buy from someone who has bad feedback and alwys buy something that the seller says runs perfect.
i have bought many vehicles from ebay and all have worked perfect with no problems

I agree- it can be a good place to get used RC's- but for every 1 person like you there is another 1 that hasn't been as lucky.

If you were a novice RC'er would you want to inheret someone else's problems? I think the learning curve is steep enough on a new Nitro RC for a first timer, to not have to add on the issues of dealing with other problems the old owner didn't disclose or know about.

All I am saying, is that Diputs, I believe if your brother wanted to get into nitro RC, a used one may be more difficult then a new one is all.

he dosnt really want a nitro exept for the fact some electrics only run for about 10 mins. what hes looking for is a cheap nitro or a electric with a longer bat life like teams losi's mini-t. ive herd the mini-t is slowy until u replace the battery, and even with an upgraded engine for speed it will still run for about 30min+

PLEASE RESPOND THANKS!

diputs

my bro is lookin at the team losi mini t what do u guys think about that?

Chances are if your brother has seen your buggy run he will be dissapointed in a mini t. Even though it runs for a longer time, by comparison its very slow. I agree with the others when i say that perhaps he should get the ST 15
