Default Which truggy should i buy?

Hi guys,

Im planning to buy a new car, and it will be a truggy. But i dont know which one, i saw these:

-Hobao hyper st pro
-Mugen seiki mbx-5t prospec
-X-ray XT8
-Hong Nor crt-1 (not RTR)


Or should i wait for the Hong Nor crt-2 pro,

I want a KIT version, so not RTR.

Which one should i buy? (or another one?)

Im planning to buy a OS .21 VZ-B V-spec engine too.

Thanks,

IMO if you are going to race get something good that is different than everyone else. The track I race at everyone runs the CRT So I thought that I am going to be different and bought Mugen Prospec.Its the only one I have ever driven so yea get the Mugen.[8D]

Yah this is such a loaded post. How would anyone else know what you should get? No one knows what conditions you are going to drive it in, racing, bashing, rough or smooth track, feilds, tall grass, short grass. etc... There are thousands of posts here to help you make your own decision. No one can tell you what exactly to get and if someone does say what to get it might not be the right choice. Do some research and make a decision.

As for the OS engine you cant go wrong. I think everyone will agree on that one.

No honestely.

Look at what your parts support would be like. You would be better off buying the one that your LHS has a good parts support system for.

Theres no point in buying something and having to order all the parts online and waiting approximately a week for shipping.

And also look at the one you like the best, they're all fablous, im tipping towards the Mugen...

How about I get everyone to stop bashing you about you nitrage and say "Get a Redcat Monsoon!!!! I have one and love the thing. With some tuning it is awesome on the track and a great basher out of the box.

Here we go!

I'd hold out for the RC8T if it were me.

No release date as of yet, but it is definitely coming according to AE.

Go with your gut feeling. There has to be one of those truggies that you have been dreaming about. We have all had those dreams or thoughts. Pick that vehicle and have fun. Honestly, I have been excited about every purchase that I have made, regardless of the public perception. They are all good.

No I do not think it is the best but just as good as a st-1 and both are in the same price range. I think it would be nice to see a video of both together so everyone can see that you do not have to spend over 500.00 or more for a nice truggy to have some fun with.

Keep in mind the ST-1 is a very light truck.
