Good or not?
 

I have baght a t-maxx and i regret it now. parts are way to expensive for me and i see that red cats are a little cheaper. im looking at a red cat buggy. are they good quality? and good for beginer?

edit:

RE: Good or not?
 

The Redcat Tornado is a great buggy. It has to be my favorite 1/10th Redcat. The Tornado BB has a great engine that will give you very few problems.

hmm, what about in terms of electric? i want some thing i can race on a BMX track. i dont really like the idea of buying a nitro again :(. ty for the help.

RE: Good or not?
 

The electric Tornado out of the box is not all that exciting to be honest. If you add the brushless motor to it then it is a whole new animal.

im looking at the Tsunami EPX $131 Shipped. how much would it be with a brushless?

RE: Good or not?
 

or the lightning epx...wow i think its great that they are so affordable. so many choices. lol

RE: Good or not?
 

The brushless kit runs $120.

RE: Good or not?
 

damn, just as much as the car. lol looks like that 1 might have to wait. do u accept credit cards or only paypal?

RE: Good or not?
 

also dont forget you will need a decent lipo battery to get max power. I run the 2s 5000 lipo.

RE: Good or not?
 

I only accept paypal for now, don't have the cc service setup just yet.

Although it looks fast it's lacking the nitro sound. I'm sorry but I'd never buy electric I wouldn't care if it's faster or not. I'd rather fight with tuning than waiting for a battery pack to charge.Once you hear nitro running it's hard to listen to electric thats just me though.
Edit: as for Redcat quality I love my monsoon and hurricane I've slammed my monsoon alot still haven't had a chance with the hurricane but I will when the snow melts.

RE: Good or not?
 

and there is some up sides to haveing a nitro... insted of wateing for the batt to charge... just refil the tank. Electric = Quite = NO FUN! Nitro = LOUD and the SMELL = GOOD!!!!!! and there is some down sides... cant run inside but in my minde (and swanp3r's) i still would not get a electric...

ooh and one more thing... nitro's are cheeper to upgrade the speed... it is called new clutch bell and possibily new spur gear... and they are a Crap load faster out of the box! and funner!

RE: Good or not?
 

ya i would never buy an electric, it makes me think of buying a radioshack one or a nikko. so nitro all the way

RE: Good or not?
 

Thats exactly how I feel.

RE: Good or not?
 

Whao that is weard that makes me feal the same way too! weard and some way creepy... thows brands and new brite... that is the one...

RE: Good or not?
 

yo but with nitro, my hobby shop is 20min away so i cant get up there often to buy gas. :-/

RE: Good or not?
 

Electric is like watching NASCAR with the mute on [&:]

RE: Good or not?
 

lol i think you guys talked me into a nitro. im thinking a smaller one maybe, or a 1/10 buggy/truggy. im thinking a 1/16 wouldnt use alot of fuel compared to my t-maxx. or is it about the same? idk alot about them :(

RE: Good or not?
 

ok, i think ive decided on the Tornado S30 or the Tsunami Ultrawide. but i have one last question, what do i need to buy for these to be drivable? or are they rtr.
