Help choose my next RC....

[jacosj]

Hey Guys...undecided on my next RC...that's where you come in...


I am thinking of a Nitro..please no electric/gas comments LOL


I would like to either try a new truggy or go with a classic monster truck. I have had a Tmaxx, LST, am working on an MGT BL conversion, and have had a couple savages too. I will mostly bash with it and run it around the street/gravel roads and some off road.


SO....I was thinking either the Kyosho Inferno Neo ST





OR get another savage....the XL





Help me choose! Or if you have any experience/other suggestions share them please!

The Kyosho looks pretty awesome!

I like inferno, but a local guy at the track kept complaining of issues. So now I'm thinkin was it car or was it driver? You could check out the new Serpent.

Kyosho Inferno does look cool but in my neck of the wood kyosho is very hard to get parts for.

I have a savage XL that is one tough truck I have went through 3 motors in that thing and its still ticking fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My LHS has some kyosho parts but I don't mind ordering online/ebay. I would probably do the same for Savage parts too

I have read of a couple complaints but they were mostly linkage/suspension related and those can be tinkered with fairly easily. I have never known anyone with a Serpent....

I've read the specs on the Serpent 401. Seems most impressive, but then a Mugen racer said he didn't like how it handled so who knows, but I still like it's options.

i have a brushless mugen buggy, lst mt and hot bodies truggy... a truggy is hard to beat for bashing... it's just so tough, almost indestructable. mine has a mm and castle 1520 on 5s (i suck at nitro)... totaly crazy and TOUGH try the nitro truggy, i think you'll like it.

If you are thinking Savage XL I would wait for a bit untill the Gasoline Savage XL is available. http://www.hpiracing.com/kitinfo/nurnberg/

i want that truck also

The kyosho is nice, however I would wait to see the new hpi d8t with the gas engine.

 

[jacosj]

I don't know if I can wait until the new HPI gas engines are out! The HPI trophy truggy 4.6 looks cool too

 

[jacosj]

So I went another direction.....SC8e.....and ordered a crapload of aluminum parts for it too
