Default Best RTR truggy?

Who do you think makes the best RTR truggy overall, to me meaning it can race and handle a good bash?

Probably the Losi 8ight-T RTR (prices from A-Main) at $499 with a Spektrum radio, a good RTR motor (427), decent set of tires, roto-start (I hate pull starts) and based off a proven platform. The Associated RC8T-RS $589 and the Jammin X2-CRT RTR $579 are others worth looking at but with Losi your get a little more for your money in my opinion, the three are pretty equal (PLATFORM, TIRES, ROTO-START) but the Losi has a better motor and radio for less $$$$$$. If you are on a tight budget the Caster K8-T RTR $350 (at Holeshot Hobbies) is a underated Truggy especially at that price. Hope that helps rccarman, with all that said any of those 4 you could be relatively competitive at the club racing level if you are just getting started.

Well then, I'll start looking into the Jammin because I have already bought a product from Losi and it was that great at all. But then again it was in a totally different category. And im also unfamiliar with Team Associated, and the prices are quite high. So for now I will stick with the Jammin and the Losi, I'll give Losi another chance.

If it was a mini or 1/10 RTR Losi I know why you werent too impressed. But with Losi 8th scales they are a ton better.

For me I think is the Hobao Hyper ST, cheap and good durable. And the part can be found easily.

Agree on the HoBao Hyper ST... solid truggy and great parts support.
NitroHouse has for $369
Looked at the Losi 8ight-T also... either is a good truggy and a great buy.
