friend needs buying advice
okay...my friend wants to buy a nitro r/c. me and my other friend have 2.5 revos...but mine will soon have a picco .26 in it. but my question is my friend only wants to spend in the 300-400 mark. i didint want to reccomend a rustler because driving with revo's the thing would constantly be breaking because its not made for the abuse a revo is. so i was thinking something like a t-maxx 2.5r? any other suggestions? we're trying to stay away from ebay at the time but it might be a last resort.
thanks.
thanks.

I would say t-maxx but if the rest of you have Revos, he may be disappointed with the maxx. Personally, I think it would be worth his money to save up a a bit more and get the Revo. That way you would all be running on equal platforms and the big plus would be that you would all have interchangeable parts so you could help eachother out with spares in the event that one of you breaks a part and another guy has an extra laying around.

RE: friend needs buying advice
thats what i was thinking but according to him it is out of the picture...its wayy too much for him...he only has 180 right now and he would have to work the entire summer for it. i dont think he takes it as seriously as my friend and i do which is why i think he wants something cheaper. but i just looked on the RCU market and there are same deals. revo's RTR for under 300...this is defently a possibility.

RE: friend needs buying advice
i'd say probably a savage or monster gt, they're both good and cheaper then a revo, but a t maxx will leave much to be desired if he's running with revos.
