hello, I was wonder what type of rc to pick. I really like to e revo but it is out of my price range and I had a look at the 1/8 hpi trophy I liked it but it didn't seem that durable. I want an 1/8 scale electric car either truggy or truck but not the savage xl. could you guys please suggest somethingcheers

The thing to think about when you're deciding is where are you going to drive it.
What kind of terrain will you drive it on? How much room do you have?

dan rox 90

well I have plenty of room and I usually drive it on grass and I bit of dirt so I don't really want a buggy. I was looking at the hpi trophy flux and I have discovered that there are many upgrades for the parts that usually break. is there another car like it and how fast and durable is the hpi trophy

not many own the trophy as it sucks out of the box, and from what people that say they made it decent needs like $50-80 in parts, and a few hours to make it not break on its 1st run.

Thunder tiger MT4G3 from what I'm told is an pretty good vehicle. Supposedly it has a minor issue from what I heard with shock towers that people double em up to prevent bending.
But compared to replacing the diffs, Drive shafts, cups, and other parts on the tophy I'd take doubling up the shock towers any day.



(Typed this in a few hours ago but my internets been crapping out A LOT the past week, and happened to crap out when I hit OK before...)

Don't bother doubling up shock towers, if you make a shock tower to shock tower brace it will solve the problem as well as any chassis bending from huge jumps.

Very good choice on the Thunder Tiger, very well supported down under. You'll love it.

yer I wont 1 4s lipo not 2 2s lipos its easy for me could u suggest any 4s lipos!!??

dan rox 90

and I have some 2 cell lipos at my house would it be ok if I used to different lipo batteries (there both 5000mah)?

Haddi Taha

Unfortunately, I havent got any 4s Lipo's to test with. Are there any 4s Lipos on your mind? Perhaps I can check the dimensions of the one you want and see if it fits.

dan rox 90

yea turnigy from hobby king, and could I run 2 different types of 2s lipos on it?

Foxy

As long as they are the same capacity (mah) and rating (c), you can, but it is better to use identical batteries.
