What would it be? - 08-16-2004, 08:02 PM

If you had a choice of any of the newest 1/10 or 1/8 vehicles released lately which would you choose? Not necessarily getting rid of what we already have, but something different or similar to add to the collection.

Personally it would either be a Kanai 3 or a Cen Genesis. Now the genesis is a little overkill and I know it will not be that formidable racer but c'mon look at it 5hp and 17lbs, its a beast . Oh and the Kanai speaks for itself.

I think the Genesis is a pretty cool truck. I wouldn't even think about racing it, but can you imagine how much torque it must have?!?! I bet it can out tow everything out there!! The Storm truggy would be nice to have also.

The Razorback.. Its the ultimate truggy and thats what I'd buy. Also the new Kyosho 777 1/8 buggy would be cool to try to break but I'd take the razorback before anything else.

Drool... Razorback

maybe even a zip-zap

hehe.. I have a a couple zip zaps.. actually zip zap clones.... and no.. none of them are stock. Dual cells and High power motors make them too fast to drive on the kitchen table. mine get pretty good air off a ramp made of cards and some masking tape though. lol!!!

its a pain in the butt to mod the zip zaps and such. Its a ton of fun though when they are fully modded because they are soo small and portable. I've brought mine to restaurants and such boefore.. lol!! I should dig mine out and get them back up and running.

damn.. this xmod chassis looks wicked... http://www.tinyrc.com/shop/product.php?pid=605
