Which one should I get
Hi guys I'm new the to the RC world, I've been reading reviews and article and I would like to know what you think would be the best.
-Sportwerks Turmoil RTR -Ofna Hyper 8 RTR w/macstar .28 -Team associated RC8 RTR -Team Losi 8ight-T RTR -Thunder tiger ST1 RTR Team VTX VTX-B1 RTR I'm looking at buying 2 of them 1 for myself and 1 for my 12 old son. If you think my choices are no good please let me know. Thanks Sadoo |
RE: Which one should I get
I'd get the 8ight and the ST-1, but thats just me ;)
|
RE: Which one should I get
Yep, 8T or ST-1, out of those, depending which way your budget wants to go.
|
RE: Which one should I get
you will be happy with any....
i just wouldn't go for the hyper because they really have crappy engines... |
RE: Which one should I get
I would see if you could get the Hyper 8.5 RTR, which is not sold in the states but should not be a problem to get from over seas. The Hyper 8.5 is a MUCH better buggy then the 8 RTR and comes with a good Hyper legal race engine and much better steering servo.

RE: Which one should I get
RC8....They turn better than any of the others...
|
RE: Which one should I get
I would go with the Losi, probably the best radio equipment, I would also suggest getting the same car for you and your son, you'll be able to share ideas and help each other if you have the same chassis
|
RE: Which one should I get
just make sure your son knows alot about nitro rc cars and all the maintence before he gets one.
|
RE: Which one should I get
im with murph.... get two of the same... makes tuning alot easier and shared parts at the track. ST1 would be my choice if youre on a budget Hypers do have crappy engines (I have a Hyper with an Axial in it and I love the thing) Losi is a bulletproof choice nice engine, nice engineering parts are everywhere.
I just got and ran my Turmoil Pro today and absolutely love the thing and they are cheap as rollers right now on Amain. not had it long enough to say go get one but I am liking mine. whatever you get there are loads of people here to help you out so youre kinda safe just depends now on how much money you want to spend. good luck |
RE: Which one should I get
Caster Racing ZX-1R. Great product for the price. Same as the Losi, Mugen, Sportwerks, etc....in regards to quality and durability.
It is new to the states but the new team drivers are doing remarkably well. It is a popular brand over in other markets. I am sure it will be a household name in a year or 2 in the U.S. |
RE: Which one should I get
I love my ZX1-R, alot of people are impressed by it at my local track. Handles great, smooth and well planted on the track. Not as twitchy as other buggies.
