Default need advice

Im looking for a rc car that has some speed and good handeling. I will mostly be driving in the yard and the road. Live out in the country. WOnt be bashing too hard either. What is a good choice. I tend to like the Mts best but Im open to suggestions. It doesnt have to be the best of the best either

Everyone is different...

Hello and welcome to rcu and rc.

Savage is pretty beast. You really cant go wrong with it. Its a monster truck that can take a beating.
Team associated has the t4 and the b4 which are cool.
Losi has the 22 buggy and the 8ight which are legit.
Tamiyas whole line up is sick.

Pick one and have fun.

Tower Hobbies is generally the go to site. The toyz is pretty good for hopups. Hobby King is good for chargers, batteries and motors. Hobby partz as well. There are tons of good websites that I didnt mention.

Take your time picking. Kits dont come with anything but a rolling chassis unless it says otherwise. Rtr's are cool but youll end up replacing the electronics anyways.

Hope I helped.
Matt

No need to go after the guy. He is new to posting.


There is no reason to have to apologize bud. Welcome to RCU.

It sounded a lot more rude than I intended it to be. My bad.

I cleaned up the thread and deleted the original off topic post and all replies to it. Let's get back to the guys question.

No big deal for anyone involved, just try to stay on topic.

sounds like to me a buggy might be what you need. an MT would work fine too, but a buggy's gonna handle a little better and possible be a little faster on the same setup. like already said, any Savage is a great choice, but like you said you don't necessarily need top of the line, so... Traxxas has some good stuff for appluications like this, although its not gonna be quite up to par with stuff like the Savages. take a look at the Vorza Flux from HPI, Slash 4x4 or Stampede 4x4 from Traxxas, or some kind of stadium truck like an E-Firestorm from HPI or Traxxas Rustler may be what you want too. you just gott choose
