Well, recently i decided on a GV Dominator (XTM XT2), but it was recently sold at my lhs, and i was going to buy it in 2 days (b'day), but now i have to wait 2 freakin' weeks, but i dunno if i could wait that long >=[

There is also a EB-4 S3 RTR (i think it's S3) at the store, on special at AU $389 (normally $429) and the Dominator is AU $479, theres also a Ansmann virus for $419, but i don't hear much good about them

Question is, is the dominator worth waiting for? or just get EB-4?

I will mainly bash, maybe a bit of racing.

EDIT - it's the EB-4 in this picture, an S2 Pro ( i think )

also shown is the Dominator and Virus

is the dominator with a 24.7 or .21 a .21 is racing and a 24.7 is a good basher. is the xt2 really 479 t ur LHS cuz that is way to high my LHS will probably sell one to me for like 300 to 350. but i would go with a xt2 im gonna get one when i get the money

SnowTau

it's a force .25

Nik.

if it really is the EB4, i'd get that, it's a more conventional buggy, and proven. if not then the GV gets my vote out of those choices.

SnowTau

Yeh, it's the S2, not S3 as you have posted.

Thanks for the reply

scrambles12

a force .25 would be good for bashing. u could put a xtm 4.57 in the xt2 if u want more power

Ozmick

The dominator is like $320US so that is within the price you stated and parts are easy to get for GV at pretty much any hobby store down here, for a basher the GV gets my vote

SnowTau

Damit, now i'm confused to hell >_<

You should look at the EB4 I own the Xt2 and it's a heavy buggy over a pound more than the EB4. the xt2 is a great basher but it only a basher it would take alot of money to make any kind a racer I know you said you want to do little racing but after few races you will get hooked and I think the EB4 would be a better platform to build on. If you can go to your hobby shop and look at the two side by side and you will see the size and weight diff I wish I would have done more homework before I bought mine but being new to the whole thing I took the advice of the guy at the hobby shop and by talking to people at the track i found out that he tries to sell eveyone xtm while he runs other brands on race day. Just take your time and do your homework ask the people at your local track that what I did before buying my RC8T and i'm very happy with it. Good luck on what ever you decide

I love the look of those S3's!! Just love the way the front shocks are designed into the front upper arms!

TRIPPLE A STRONG

same thing happend to me some guy at the hobby shop told me it was the best racer around . waht a joke on me

I'd go with the EB4. The original X-terminators has some diff housing issues. Alot of people blamed the diff and gears itself, but it was actually housing flex allowing the gears to come un-meshed when under torque. I don't know if they beefed up the housings for the XT2 or not, but I don't think they did.

SnowTau

Theres also an Ansmann Vapour, but i think i'll go EB-4 for now?

IloveMYxt2

The XT2 diff housing have no problems. I have never heard of diff problems on a XT2. Now the Mammoth and MMT are different stories.

I voted GV. They are seriously built tough as a nail.

xt2 do it

Argh damit.

Confusion to me.

Well, it's my b'day tomorrow, so i'll see what i come home with =]

Ozmick

Best of luck to you in what ever you choose and Happy B-Day for tomorrow

SnowTau

Thanks dude =D

I would go EB4 all the way I have owned many TTR products. Very durable and worth the money imo.

Thunder Tiger all the way. The S3 won the Nats in '06, and many elements of it were used on the Associated RC8, such as the proven diffs.

EB4 , IMO T.T. has better products then the others listed .

Nik.

Remember that he has the choice of the S2, Xt2, and Ansmann. Not the S3, even if that would be the superior buggy.

musclecar64

I know, but it's a similar platform that IMO can be more successful than an XT2 or Ansmann.

SnowTau

i'm going with the EB-4 S2
