Hey guys. I've got a Savage and an EMAXX already, but the EMAXX breaks everytime I touch it, so it just sits on the shelf, so, anytime I break my Savage, I have to go adleast a week with nothing to drive, so, as of a couple days ago, I've decided Im gonna svae for another RC. But the thing is, I don't know which one I should get...I'm really into offroad, but I'm looking to get into a little onroad, so the RS4 3 evo sparks my interest, but, I also what do see what all the off-road world has to offer, so I was looking into trucks like the MT2, and the Slayer.So, what do ya'll like best? What else do you think would be of interest?Theres no category off-limits.I'm lookng for anything, 1:18-1:5, off-road or oN-road, 2WD or 4WD, but it has to be fuel powered,no electric. Now, CONVINCE ME!

Baja 5T or 5B SS - once you go 1/5 you'll never go back [&:]

MadManAndrew

ya, I really want to get a 5T, but its a little much for my budget...

DarkFire989

Get a used FG MT. Im trying to get one also.

Chris_RC

How bout give racing a try? There is a good track in Lubbock Texas ive heard.

MadManAndrew

Thats what my Savage is for. I've got racing suspesnion, and working on modding the motor...Lookin for somethin to play with when my Savage is resting for the big race...

Chris_RC

Savage as a racer? I meant a 1/8 buggy. MT class is almost non-existent now.

SAVAGEJIM

For $500 USD, the money will come, be patient and save up. (I did, I had to save up like crazy to buy an FG of my own, and I paid for it brand new!)

sheograth

Also check out the Savage Flux.

Where can I find this 500 dollar FG?

SAVAGEJIM

Somewhere in Texas apparantly.

However, FG just released a more affordable 5th scale 4WD gasser, but it is still $960 when it does come out (if you ca call that affordable. But gassers are much more expensive than nitros to begin with.)

MadManAndrew

the $500 FG is at [link=http://newagehobbies.com/]New Age Hobbies[/link] in Garland, Texas. It's VERY used but still in great shape. If I were to get a 1/5th scale, it probably wouldn't be the an FG beetle though, I more interested in the Baja 5T...

My Feedback: (9)

get a team losi aftershock or a lst2 or a lst1

KRO

The price on the Slayers has been dropping like a rock , down to 349.00 at Utimate Hobbies .

[link=http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=TRA5908!1008]$349.00 SLAYER[/link]

Not a bad deal at all IMO at that price and it seems like a really fun truck (dont have one myself)

MadManAndrew

ya, the Hobbvytown about 30 minutes from me has the Slayers down to $350, but they're still $399 at my lhs...I'm probably going to start going over to Hobbytwon for everything though, they've got a MUCH larger selection, and the employees are MUCh nicer...As for the Aftershock or LST, I'm looking for something other than another 1/8 MT, since I've already got two...

HJJFFFAA

Thanks but I like the Beetle's much better than the buggies. How much would would one of those go for NIB.

SAVAGEJIM

I think pricing will be released at $960 USD NIB when it comes out, I know some places are already taking preorders, and this is RTR. For gassers, that is actually very cheap, a NIB FG RTR has in the past gone for $1500+ USD NIB, and that is only for 2WD!

HJJFFFAA

Not the buggy. I meant the Monster Beetle.

SAVAGEJIM

Oh, sorry

Not cheap unfortunately, about $1200 USD, 80% rtr (No radio or servos, but otherwise assembled)

HJJFFFAA

Yikes! I bet it's one quality piece, right?

SAVAGEJIM

Oh yeah! I know for sure that FG treats their alum parts to T6, even their thick 4mm chassis plate, which is 6061 alloy, is treated to t6. A 26cc Zenoah gasoline engine driving high carbon quality steel gears really gets these thing going!

Now this buggy has plastics for suspension arms, but that platic is way tough. On my non=comp FG MT, that plastic is beefy and tough, I even clipped trees, curbs, rocks that would have otherwise torn off my Savage's arms.
