okay who has had the small one and sold it for the big one . they both look like awesome trucks but I just hate spending$1000 plus again on a rc car and only get a 1/4 of it back if i sell it .
i have the money to buy either one and lipos but the small one looks so tempting with it's cheap price , but i think i will have more fun with thte 1/10 .
so why is the 1/10 erebe better than the vxl ?

The 1/10 ERBE is significantly better than the 1/16 version. Keep in mind that Traxxas' 1/10 is like most other companies 1/8 and their 1/16 is between most peoples 1/16 and 1/10.

The 1/10 version is larger, faster, more stable, can handle rougher terrain... etc. If you can afford it go with the 1/10 ERBE.

has anyone had both? od sold your small one for the big one ? why?

I have both of them and like running them. They are good trucks and can take a bashing.

Go for HPI's Savage Flux then.....around $600 and can take a lot more punishment (so I've read)

I ordered one today as a matter of fact.

nah the flux handles like a tank if hpi would make a brushless hellfire i would buy it

Have you driven one?

I've driven a nitro Savage, and it is the truck monster truck experience, big, and cumbersome but a blast nontheless

I would love an ERBE....it'll be my next rig, long in the future.
