i have a choice from a traxxas revo3.3 and a t-maxx3.3 and a hobao hyper st what would be best suited to doing massive jumps and being completely bashed around and not breaking.

naynay12

I would say revo 3.3 its really durable,the hoboa hyper is more for racing,and the tmaxx is a bit out of date but not bad.

I have to agree about the revo and the t-maxx. never seen a hoboa though. go for the revo. it can be raced too. of course so can the t-maxx, but only if you race for fun. (i race a t-maxx, and its for fun.)

-EXTRA-

i got a tmaxx 3.3 and it takes jumps well never seen a revo run in person so i dont know how it does

poe

Savage is most definately jump king. Way more travel than a T-maxx and bulkheads that wont break after one cartwheel. The revo's suspension is not designed for big jumps so that is ruled out. I have seen a T-maxx jump and it is not pretty.

Ive seen t-maxxes jump and be pretty. and I've only broken two bulk heads in 4 years. take you preconcieved notions elseware.

poe

LOL, preconceived he says. My friend has the 3.3 and has broken 15+ parts (in around 20 tanks or so) not even being that hard on it. My notions are not at all preconceived. Not to start a arguement but i am sure a T-maxx can have a just as pretty jump if it lands on all fours. I am just trying to help the guy out and spread some semi-unbiased advice so he doesn't make the wrong decision. I know my friend can't drive, but the truck is aimed at noobies so it should be more durable than this. I must admit it is kind of durable, it is only the little things that break. He had many bellcranks and steering pieces die after cartwheeling. I have broken 1 part on my savge doing the same things in the same time period, but I am a better driver.

Again all in good fun...

LST2 hands down. why? because i've owned t-maxx's,revo's,savages,ofna titan,ect,ect. the lst2 is the best out there in MY opinion.

hands without shadows

Have you owned a Schumazer Havoc?

ssj2

Yeah, abiding from RCU's review of the Schumacher Havoc, I definitely second it. It looks like a true stunt truck and I would say that's probably a forgotten truck that really is good in jumping/stunts. That's a very good possibility if you are looking for the best jumping RC. (truck wise that is) Here's the review of the Havoc on RCU: http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/a...article_id=816

Nah poe yo friend got a factory defect my tmaxx has been rolled 5 times and landed back on wheels kept on going not a scratch so its just as durable as a savage in my opinion

hobao hyper st should be a great jumper. I do not have it but do have the Hobao Hyper 8. If not it I would go with the Savage.

yeh the havok is good and all but im looking for a four wheel drive and one of the three ive mentioned none else
and whats a bulk head exactly?
and because the t-maxx 3.3 has two springs for each wheel if you changed the setting on one does that mean you would have to change the setting on all springs to the same? wouldnt that get annoying?

yeh the hyper st hasnt been realeased in australia yet but ive already got a 1/10th scale buggy and want to get prefferalby a monster truck for somthing different or the hyper st because its a truggie

naynay12

Why havent you guys really mensioned the revo 3.3???

running_gag

I did mention the revo, then got drawn into the old "savage is god of all" argument.

To answer the question about the t-maxx shocks, no you dont have to change them all. That is one of the neet parts of its design. you can mix the springs up for very fine tuning. I run one stock spring and one progressive spring on each corner for racing.

Revo jumps good when hopped up corretly.

Best stock mt for jumping is a LST2

See LST2 video below.

kool so u only have to change one spring.

and still whats a bulkhead.

Schumacher RC Superstore

Simply put, the best purpose built jumping truck is the Schumacher Havoc.

Not 4wd. No reverse. But abused equally with any other truck, it will be the last to break............

I know it was not in your 3 choices, but none you mentioned were designed for massive jumps.

The supporting structure that a-arms and shock towers would be attached.

i dont have acess to that car in australia and i dont like buying things over the internet

Schumacher RC Superstore

Having items conveniently dropped at the front door makes sense to alot of us.

nitro _ burner

hey do you work at some super store because i only just realised

Schumacher RC Superstore

Hehe, yes. I sell Schumacher products online. Our shop sells all the brands, but the website is just to satisfy Schumacher customers.

We have customers in Australia, thats why I threw my 2 cents in.

I can respect his reluctance.
