I am thinking about buying the PCR or the PBS but i don't no.I like the PCR but i heard that the PCR has weak servos.I have not looked up alot about the PBS.Whats the better Package between them?I don't care if i have to buy new servos.If the PCR did not have weak servos which one would you go for and why?thxs cya

rolandh21

get a mugen mbx5, kyosho 777, or xray xb8r, the servos they come with should be pretty comparable to the ones on the hypers.

PBS IS SUPERIOR

The PCR RTR is just a PBS with lay down servos, and a couple of other things that don't matter much. And the more useful parts are not on the PCR RTR. In fact, I don't think it has one PCR part on it. You'd be money ahead to get the PBS, and go form there. There's nothing wrong with either car, I just think the PCR RTR is too much money for what you get over the PBS. Even the RTR is fine if you don't mind replacing servos. The plastic starter box that comes with the PBS is nothing to brag about. The wheel doen't last long, and it's just not that though. The PBS is priced right however, with or without the starter box. The RTR is about 10 or 15 bucks less. My advice would be to get the PBS or RTR, and use the extra cash to put towards more useful hop-ups like tires, electronics, ditching the pull-start, or maybe a useful PCR part or two. Youy can even get into a Hyper7 TQ Sport kit for 239 bucks from Tower, and choose your own engine, and radio gear. If you really want to go with a top notch kit, get the Pro, and build it yourself, and choose your own stuff to finish it up. Along with the stronger servos, you'll need to get a 5-cell reciever battery and charger for it. The double "A" batteries won't let your high torque servos perform due to lack of voltage, and short run times.

If you want a RTR, go for the PBS RTR, it is the same as the PCR RTR which I have, but without the annoying lay down servo setup. People have so many problems with other RTRs but mine has been perfect since day 1.

All RTRs will have sub-par servos included in the kit. At LEAST upgrade the steering servo. It would also be a smart thing to invest in a 20$ Ofna Failsafe and a 5 cell receiver pack. Junk the 4AA holder.

You should try to do a search on this forum. The break-in of a Hyper 21 has been discussed many times.

I think that the Bess method is the way to go.

Since it's your first nitro, just know it isn't as easy as it looks on your first time around. Be patient, and if you aren't 100% sure what to do, ask here first before you possibly make a problem worse.
