[quote]ORIGINAL: Foxy If you're not prepared to spend at least 600, forget an electric truggy of anything but below average quality or take a risk on second hand. Do I think you should make the effort to find that much money for a truggy? Yes, I absolutely do, but if it's out of the question, no problem, I can spec you up a 'good' brushless RC to fit just about any budget, just give me a number. The smaller the number, the smaller the RC will be. [/quote] ok my only demands are 4x4, offroad, and "above-average" to "indestructable" quality, LIMIT $450 USD

[quote]ORIGINAL: Foxy It's very refreshing to see someone with realistic expectations. 650 will get you a good truggy. With that budget you should definitely buy a kit and ancillaries, leave the RTRs for those with 500 or less. ;) [link=http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_44_1256/products_id/35145/n/Hot-Bodies-D8T-1-8-Off-Road-Competition-Truggy-Kit]Hot Bodies D8T competition truggy - $335[/link] [link=http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_44_904/products_id/191289/n/Tekno-RC-V4-Brushless-Kit-Hot-Bodies-D8T-42mm-Motors]Tekno V4 conversion for D8T - $135[/link] [link=http://www.hobbypartz.com/07e-c-xerun-150a-sd.html]150A HobbyWing ESC - $110[/link] [link=http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-lbp4074-2-5y-2000kv.html]Leopard 2000kv motor - $51[/link] [link=http://www.hobbypartz.com/60gexidise.html]EXI D226F Steering servo - $15[/link] By my reckoning, that's 647 and a bit of delivery, but this is about as good a setup as you can get for the money and has no compromises, this stuff is all ideal for the task. If you wanted me to get it another 50 bucks under budget, I could with a few minor compromises, but I think the stuff I've linked represents the best value for money of any other possible combination and is sufficient to put you on the podium at any club electric truggy a-main if your skills are up to the task ;). This truggy will eat up anything you can throw at it and easily do 60mph on 6S without batting an eyelid. Run it on 4S for fun and racing, and 6S when you're feeling insane. If you need another radio, get this one... http://www.hobbypartz.com/79p-gt3b-carradio-lcd.html [/quote] ok so can i have your absolute honest opinion on weather i should go buggy or truggy, as i've joked in my last post my budget is HIGHLY limited

[quote]ORIGINAL: Foxy Oops, you're right, something critical was left out... "FOR THE PRICE"!! :) Now edited in to save confusion. :) And I hate to say it, but there isn't much to choose between the LX2e RTR and the Kyosho VE, they are both budget RTRs limited to 4S, using stamped aluminum and plastic parts. The Kyosho's a great car, but I think the OFNA represents fractionally better value, plus OFNA is better supported in the US than Kyosho. @OP, a brushless truggy will run you a LOT more, but if that doesn't put you off, I agree they are the more versatile machines for any kind of use, best of both worlds, buggy and monster truck and no drawbacks. My opinion that a 6S brushless truggy is the absolute pinnacle of the surface hobby experience is well known around here. Unfortunately, dedicated electric truggies are either full race kits and very expensive (think Serpent electric truggy), or they're nitros which need to be converted, and in that case, you really have to research well which conversion kit you use, some are outstanding and some will make the car handle terribly. Of course, the former are usually a lot more expensive than the latter and include full chassis conversions. What's max budget up and running without batteries/charger? [/quote] to be honest $0.00 XP but i can probably do a layaway, i really dont know, maybe 650 total? i guess i should just go with a roller and buy seperate electronics, what do y'all reccomend?

i'm still debating of which of these to do but i think the best options are as follows. do either a sidewinder Sv2 with a neu 1406 5700kv or 4600kv combo, or if you want roar legal, sidewinder SCT 3800kv combo or just the sidewinder SCT ESC with a 5700kv or 4600kv neu 1406 motor edit; i just made up my mind, im going with a sidewinder SCT and a tekin redline 448 4800kv, did script asylum top speed calculator and got 40 on 2s and 60 on 3s while getting about 60k RPM on 3s just the motors' limit :)
