need help deciding
hey guys i use to have a redcat avalanche, then got my a tmaxx 3.3 and they were both fun, I got out of it a while back and have been looking into them again. I am looking for advice, i am thinking about getting another one and trying to decide what to get, I do not want to spend alot but i want something that is fast and fun and can drive on rough dirt and stuff, dont care to much about a bunch of big jumps or anything. maybe a truck buggy or truggy, no cars. what are some good options. I know with my tmaxx 3.3 felt like i was fixing it ever timei took it out lol

RE: need help deciding
There are so many different ways to go, I'm gonna sound like everyone else on here and say Traxxas Slash or a Losi XXX-SCB. Both are crazy fun and durable. If you get 2 or 3 Gens Ace lipos and bring a charger with you can run all day!

I agree, it's hard not to recommend the little savage at the moment, it's by far the best bang for buck without going to the really expensive stuff.

Yeah under $300 and only needing one lipo, Not to mention 2.4ghz and water proof. I may gear mine down to run 50mph on 3s, This should help with the temps etc.

+1 also for the Mini Savage Flux! If your easy on the throttle and retard the timing with a 5000mah 2s, I have gotten up an hour. Out of the two I listed, for bashing the slash, for racing and some bashing the SCB.
