So I'm in the market for a new RC car to build. I've always enjoyed building Tamiya kits over other brands. Not looking to race, but just something fun for me to build and mod over time. I've been going back and forth between the TT02 Subaru and the XV-01 Lancia. The body isn't the important part....ultimately, whichever one I choose will likely wind up with a Subaru Forester XT body to match my full scale one.
I was about to pull the trigger on the XV-01 and started reading that there's not very many Lipo battery options. Is this the case, or are there Lipos that fit? Is it worth the difference in price between the XV-01 and TT02? The TT02 is pretty inexpensive right now, but if the XV-01 performs that much better, maybe it's worth it? I like the fact that it's belt drive.
There seem to be a lot more hop-up parts for the TT02, yet I keep coming back to the XV01 when I read that it's the better handling of the two.
Any help and opinions are appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
