Okay, Ive pretty much decided on the SS, but just want to see what you guys think about the constant 5t / ss questions.
As I see it . ..
SS = Cheaper
Comes as a kit (I like!)
BUT no radio gear, and apparently doesn't handle quite as nice as the 5t.
On the other hand . .. the 5t
From what Ive read over the last couple of months, I noticed that various people complained about the 5t building quality. Empty diff's, leaking shocks, over / undertightened bolts etc etc. (Which IMO, is pretty lame, anyway . .. )
The radio gear that comes with the 5t seems to be only enough for HPI to call it RTR. The dealer Im gonna buy from says, and I quote. . . "the 5t radio is crap and i would never run a 1200 dollar car on a ten dollar radio, to much can go wrong, wether you buy from us or not i would invest into a radio that runs at 2.4ghz . .blah blah blah should by a 5t, i would tighten the top caps of the shock as i have seen them leak there right out of the box"
How bad is the Radio that comes with the 5t? Ive heard more than 5 people complaining... . .?
Ive also seen too many 5t bodies cracked / broken from roll overs.
Having said all that, the 5t goes for $1249, and the SS goes for $1119.95, inlcuding the Airtronics m11, and he's willing to throw in the extra servo as well!!
Anyway.
I actually decided on the SS already. . . .. . im just damn itchy!!!!
