buying need advice

[chalo_209]

So I'm going to buy an electric rc I don't know much but I'd like suggestions on what you all think would recommend me to get. I want a brushless 1/10 scale electric preferably pretty fast under 200. If you could list a link to the sight it would be really helpful. Thanks

Thats going to be very tough to find as most people here including myself would suggest that you save up until you can buy a better rc before recommended a lower grade brand.


If your determined to buy a lower grade rc this might be an option. have never owned an Arrma but it's the cheapest brand that I would consider trying. With towers discount code you're going to be close to your budget.

What's wrong with it like what's the reason you would buy it? Does it not last long or what are the cons on it

Could you give me a list of some thay you would recommend brand wise I'm mother trying to spend a fortune tho

Other than what I posted above I can't recommend anything in your price range and I'm not 100% confident in the Arrma brand either. Cheap brands end up costing more in the end or they break and get tossed in the trash. When it comes to rc's you get what you pay for.

Not much aftermarket support or hop ups available for that truck. I'm on my phone or I'd post a link.

I would recommend the Traxxas Rustler as a good beginning rig. It's relatively inexpensive and has tons of aftermarket parts and upgrades. Parts are available at most hobby shops as well as online.

Which one would be better that one or the traxxis e revo 1/16 scale. It's not much a price dofference

The 1/16 Revo is a great little rc and one of my favorites from my previous rc's! The Rustler is bigger and IMO it is also a tougher rc which is important to someone new to a pretty fast rc. Since your looking in that price range the 1/10 2wd Stampede or 1/10 2wd Slash are also great rc's, lots of fun and very tough!

If you're looking at any of the above rc's that are close to $200 they will be brushed and not brushless. Any of them with brushless systems will be over $300. I would take any of those with a brushed motor over the one you linked or the first ones I linked.

I looked up some videos for the rustler and I think I'm going with it. But traxxis website is out of stock. Is there a website you may know of and trust where I could get it at?

Towerhobbies.com
Amainhobbies.com

Both great sites to buy from

i would also recommend the Traxxas models mentioned above. Plenty of parts at most LHS' and people will buy a used Traxxas before they would ever buy an "off" brand used RC.

Gotta agree with the group here. I recently bought an ECX Ruckus 4WD and it was just a pain to work on and not very durable. As a matter of fact the third time I tore it apart to rebuild the diff's, I just pulled my electronics off and threw the rest of the truck in the trash.

Save up and get something worth keeping.
