ahh, yes, but not all can handle it:D

me honestly, love pan cars, even for "bashing" simple, reliable,fast and on the right surface with right driver, are untouched by touring cars.

but unless you have a good place to run them, and unless you are able to drive RWD, they are not a joy at all.

honestly, I would get a ofna JL10E drift kit, you will need all your running equipment and need to buy and paint your own body, but I think its a great way to go, ofna carries a great line, HPI.... I don't know, ive had some of their stuff and I was never really thrilled about them.

the kit is like $115 then a body $20-30, and a brushless setup (ez run) $60, servo $20, battery (generic) $20 radio (fly sky) $20 and charger (again generic) $30 so your looking at $280 to get going, but at least you start with a good charger and battery along with a brushless setup.

Have you looked at the Nitro 4-Tec?</p>

i'm not going there[&:]

I understand.....http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...eeth_smile.gif

Just throwing out options. If I really wanted to lob a grenade, I would have noted it was selected RC Car Actions "Reader's ChoiceAward" for best on-road car....but I'm not going to bring that up. Ha!

In all-seriousness, I'm not defending the car (as I have never owned a Traxxas) and at the same time won't dismiss it either. I considered getting one, but changed my mind as it is does not seem for me....but there does appear to be a market for it.

Another consideration is the XRay RX8.</p>

ofna dm-1e spec $250 plus $25 off at amain and a cheap chinese 1/8th system should get you in around 200 quid

RE: ON-ROAD
 

yeah, you cant give those things away.

nitro has a place in my heart, but I honestly like electric on-roads better, just seems like a better fit.
