What should I get??? -
11-06-2005, 11:55 PM
Allright... confused me again. I am selling the buggy and will be buying a MT. (So don't reccomend a truggy even though they are awesome). I was originally leaning towards the new MGT but I also love the chassis and suspension of the Revo. If I got the Revo I would run the stock motor untill it dies and then do a BB onversion. I need some opinions. I will be doing a fair amount of bashing but it will also hit the track. How durable is the revo stock? Hopped up? Reccomendations?? I think I am leaning back towards the Revo. I have a max of $500 to spend. Absolute max! and I would already have the batts and charger for the roto start so don't tell me I will be over. Thanks...

I have a feeling that almost everyone here will agree.... Revo.

Allright. Done. Revo it is. I think I just needed one to say it. I like the fact that if I break a part on it at a bash or the track and I don't have an extra there WILL be someone around with one that I could buy. And I hate traxxas... times are a changing...
Anyone want to buy a brand new 2.5 r???

Hehe... I will need to see. If I do that I will probably just pick up an OS .18 or something when I buy the Revo. What .18's will drop right in and what will I need to get other parts for?? + a price on each would help so I can budget. Thanks.

Like Tex said, better tires. ($100)
Then snyth radio if you're going racing so you're not "waiting for Blue". ($150 used) Then P2 rockers, push rods, & springs for better handling. ($40) Then stronger single steering servo ($120) and linkages ($40) Add a wing in there somewhere along the way. ($40) New body ($35 - painted add another $30-60) Misc spare parts ($ ????) Should be about $1000 by the time you're done with your $425 Revo. Dontcha just LOVE this hobby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wish someone had told me the "whole truth" about RC when we got into it.
Like I said before, I don't mind buying nickel-dime stuff, but when they start needing thousands of dimes, it adds up!!

I know the truth... remember... I have an 1/8 scale. I know it won't be cheap but I will do it gradually.
And Tex I may take the wheels & tires. Any pics? Please send them to Free-Ride-Junkie@comcast.net if you do. Thanks.
