Default mini E-revo Vs. Hpi vorza

Yes,yes I probably know what you are going to say and that is to get the vorza. But I saw the Mini E-revos down at the track today and they were cooking for 300 bucks. The thing is is the money. I would like the vorza but it is twice as expencive. And also the e-revo is TINY. Do you think the vorza is worth all the extra money?

It's worth the extra money if you want an 1/8 buggy. But if you don't have the money then go with the Mini E-Revo.....

Either would be great. I have a third suggestion though, why not go for the new 4wd Slash?

I would go with the Vorza since it is alot bigger and much more durable and capable. IMO the 1/16 e revo is cool at first, but after the first week or so it starts getting boring becsue of the size.

i will disagree about the boring part of the mini -revo. i have one and it never gets boring it can do basically anything but win a race. however i would still pick the forza. it looks like a beast. if u do competitive racing at all get the forza and if you don't and just like having fun the i would just say go with either. it is awful fun doing back flips and such with the mini revo. however it has a few problems with the drive shafts and diff. where as the forza is made by HPI and i have heard almost nothing bad about them.

Should be easy enough to convert the Slash 4wd into a monster truck if that's more what you'd want. Thats my plan anyhow.

The main reason I brought up the e-revo is because me and my dad were down at the track last night and we were whatching the little revos flying and he says. "you know. For only 300 bucks we could both git them and race....but even if you do get the vorza i will get the revo and still beat you." Haha

i would go with the slash, a set of 2.8's some 30's badlands and a decent battery, and a new body, sorry HPI's GT2 truck body is way better than the slashes

oh hey you allready got it well have fun, now we all know what to my for Xmass

You'll have tons of fun with either vehicle, and customizing the slash 4x4 heavily might be the most fun, since you'll have a one of a kind truck (kind of).

Again, it's all fun and games, period.
