im dead set on buying another 1/5th end of this week, and im 60% decided on getting another MT but at the same time, i keep looking at everything eles, recats, MCD's FG's and even a hpi baja.


i basicly want a MT track only and semi-shelfqueen, i love the weight of them as it keep them pinned to the track, i love the handling, love the durabilty and easy part changes and its the biggest bad a$$ on the track so people keep there distance


i just cant decided weither to get another MT, or just super modd my current MT and get another type of r/c?


or do i just follow the people and get a FG/carson touring car? but i don't think i can handle the set up time on a touring car, people spend a good 1-2hours setting up there touring cars before they even see the tarmac :eek:
 
Let the on-road go ,and don't put more money in to your MT ,i hade the same prob ,i had a Hurrax Toxyc spent 500 € more to the car ,it was the best car i ve ever had ,and ...... i ve sell them.....so buy some other stuf ,mean heli or boat or.....
 
ive ordered Pheonix flight simulator, and a dx5e(i think, its coming as a package) and that should be here in a few days, i do have plans to get into the heli's but i wanna spend atleast a year on the simulator before i buy a real heli, as you only get one chance xD and i don't wanna crash on my first flight and watch it all go down the drain and get putt off by it :p

ive built and sold a few boats, there fun but there isnt enuff there to keep me wanting to do it, and i don't really have any hobby lakes near me, all lakes near me are for fishing, as im a fisherman i understand fishermen don't like people upsetting 50+ year old carp

i got a silly amount of micro r/c vehicles, a few tanks, buggies, drifters, planes, small helis, boat and a submarine witch i almost always loose lol

Helicopters are extremyl difficult to fly good plan on getting Phoenix F/S I own it and it is pretty much dead on. I owned a few Aligns but recently sold them cause I found flying was more stressful then fun for fear of crashing. I do still own my Eflite MSR and MCPX very fun helicopter that are extremly durable and great to learn on. You can get those 2 modles and buy as BNF version and use the DX5E for a raidio to bind the mSR and mCPX. Enjoy

Helicopters are extremely hard to fly +1! Open your wallet really deep because if you get into them they will suck the life out of you. Myself I love land and land only. I have had helis and I still have a P51 mustang. But its a shelf queen because of how hard they are to fly. I boiled it down to this. You can have 10x more fun with a RC land then air. I get to bored just flying stuff. The only time I found it fun was seeing other peoples high dollar planes and choppers. It comes down to more show then anything. And trust me there is no limit on how much you can spend. I've seen $45,000 jets.

I would get the MT pro and send the aluminum parts out to get chromed for a shelf queen if that's what you really want.
 
im looking at another Maverick Blackout Mt but with a broken front diff, 2nd hand for £350

immmmmmmmmmmm sooooooooo tempted to buy it right now!!!! omg wha do i do wha do i do :eek: if i can get the price down a little more its almost to cheap to say no?
