So I have a Merv, great little truck, really, I have few complaints. But it was also my real introduction to RC. When I got it out for the first run, I was overwhelmed by how fast it was. That feeling didn't last. I made some modifications, and made it really fun on dirt, but now I'm afraid after hours of maintenance and $$$$ on parts, I realize now that it's a pretty weak bang for the buck. Wish I would have gone bigger, shoulda coulda, whatever life goes on.
Felt like I wanted a road car, something I could hit 100mph with. Jumps and flips are cool, but they cost more $$$, and I really think I just want to go fast.
Right about the time I'm feeling like that, I see the $200 vendetta. Seemed like a score at that price, and from what I've seen you don't have to do much to get it to 100mph.
I was stoked to get it. Then the Horizon Hobby fiasco of 2023 happened....
After two attempts to order, and waiting 5 days before each order was cancelled without notice, I won't be buying anything from under that umbrella. Ever. Wanted to root for the underdog, but the underdog is a douche.
Now I'm still looking for a road car. One that isn't Arrma, and isn't Traxxas.
Hoping to pick your guys brains for some recommendations. $200 value isn't a thing in real life, so I guess I'm looking for something around $500 or so. And preferably something that will actually ship this year
Wondering if the HPI sport 3 is worth it.
I really like the HPI bodies.
