Never heard of it, typed it in looks like a over priced China special. I wouldn't. For 800 I could get a wayy better truck for wayy cheaper. Like @evssv said I'd stay away.

 

[Menace79]

Thanks, I'm looking to a hpi but 1/8, thanks ?

 

[evssv]

either way.....1/5th or 1/8th or 1/10th ....don't buy anything made by them...its cheap for a reason.....

 

[Menace79]

Hpi is not good?

 

[evssv]

yes.........all good....

HPI is good. I would stay away from Rovan and King Motor based on feedback from the forum and other members. Never head one but from what I read, owners stated it was very hit or miss.

 

[Menace79]

Hpi all the way then ? one more question, buggy 3.5 or truggy 4.6?

 

[Gamefan]

Depends on what you want to run? I like buggies so I would go 3.5.

 

[evssv]

and depends on the place ur gonna run...buggy on grass...not so good......truugy on grass....much better.....

The Rovan/King Motor platform is ok. Plenty of guys on here running them. Its the engines that give the issues. If you want to save some coin, look for a Rovan/ KM roller and spend the savings on a decent engine?

 

[Menace79]

My intention is to run on dirt, sand, gravel, loose stones, forest, some tarmac (maybe an on road later). I like the 2, buggy and truggy... And about handling, etc?

 

[evssv]

truggy is better imo.....I`ve several of both......I have a brushless hyper7.5 buggy here....and a super mt4G3 in truggy set up......and a stock mt4G3 here...............amongst others....

 

[Menace79]

In general the truggy is better, but what about maintenance?it's my first rc car ?

True sorry, I meant the engines. If you can get a roller, all the better.
