That's the problem with this server, there are already so many threads on this subject, that it actually detracts from the purpose of going out and trying them at your LHS.

I think the:
best car is your first one
best engine is the one your running now
best radio is the one the user is most comfartable with.
best servo is always from Ko Propo
best starter box comes free with the H7
best fuel depends on the engine you have
best tyres depend on the surface.

So in fact all of the threads are POINTLESS.

best lesson---Never buy a RTR you will end up spending the same amount of cash in the end. Secondly, research and listin to our PAL's on RCU.com because the guys at the hobby shops are stupid, and just want to sell you something.

Da Smak

Thanks LC, in almost 5000 posts I think I have finally answered all the big time questions in 1 post.

jonnymac

My best car wasn't my first one! That was a CEN Fun factor, wasn't even my second that was a kyosho Sport
I guess your going to have to keep trying Alex

Da Smak

If the first wasn't so great, why did you get another?

thopper

That i not a list of what I own just what I think is the best value. I am intersted in what you have found' to be the best value.
I did not say the" best" only best value, big difference. I think Cleveland Ohio has the best housing value right now but not the best place to live or the best houses. Value is also different for everyone. Ths SHO buggy RTR may be the best value for some and Kyosho top of the line 2000.00 package the best for the next.

The items I have listed seem to perform better then there equally or higher priced compitetors...just curious what you have found to work well for the money.

Da Smak

What you said was "bang for buck", again that if different from value.

If you really want to know what I've found, then I was down the beach today and I found some jellyfish and a lobster pot.

brc51

Findig my car keys to go to LHS (priceless)

thopper

Where I come from bang for the buck is the same as value . So I "value" your opinon. Just trying to have some fun here!

Da Smak

I VALUE my opinion too and yes I am having fun.... CHEERS EASY !!!!

Very true that was just what i found out tha hard way i got a new eb4 s2 pro rtr at xmas now i had to sell it to get a better buggy. but if you are just starting off and you dont know wether you will like it well get a rtr.

Da Smak

OK, now you explain why the guys at my LHS have over 6 National titles between them, they are not stupid, but they prey on the punters inexperience. If you haven't been bothered to do the research and not go armed with the facts, then remember, "a fool and his money are soon parted". Now who's stupid?

It goes without saying...a well informed customer is a hobby shop owner's worst nightmare.

rEVOkING

HAH OK SO ONE HOBBY SHOP IS PROFESSIONAL

IS IT BY ME..LOL THIS SITE IS GETTING BORING.

Da Smak

No, all hobby shops are profesional, otherwise they would have closed down due to lack of profit because they were unable to sell to nonces like you.




So in a way all these noobs that show up with the same question 3 or 4 times a day here are doing the right thing, but if they could keep it on the same thread it wouldn't tick me off so much.

Its like girlfriends and wives
