Gday fellas,
Need some advice on my first serious truggy purchase . I been out bashing a eb4 for a while with friends and taken in to a track and found it just cant handle the brutal bashing and been watching these truggys bash past me several times again and again so i want in on the action.
First main thing is i want one to be tough enough i can take out and jump and run for day and not have mechanical failures like the EB4 does so i seen the Losi 8ight , MBX6t or RC8T all in action and i cant spot any major issue with either of them , i want the kit form to build and put together myself no more RTR crap.
Im happy to part with some hard earned $$ as long as im not breaking it from jumping and i know if i smash into stuff it will break but im a bit harsh on my RC stuff as i fly Helicopters for the last 2 years both nitro and electric so its not all new to me just need some honest advice or which kit and engine combo would suit . Will be buying a radio also so this will be a bit of a cash offset so what kit should i go for for durability ?
I have been told stay away from losi but i seen some being run and they seem fine to me im leaning towards a RC8T as some ppl say they are less likely to do a diff compared to the other 2 models stated weather its true i dont know hence why i am asking here .
Last of all is it worth doing my purchases online compared to a local HS i live west of melb and been said to go see Intense RC in Melton is there anyone else with good knowledge in the rc car scene and will look after me in a whole package and not just taking $50 off a $1500 purchase either ... im happy for my dollar to support local but its a kick in the face when that happens and im only being honest from experience .
Any advise will be much appreciated .
Cheers Andrew
