Remote Control Car - Advice Wanted

[Rodders_UK]

I'm looking to buy a petrol remote control car - something that's not too complex or fragile and is good on grass and tarmac.

Any advice please?

I used to have a Kyosho Burns inferno 4x4 1/8th scale buggy, that thing was perfect for on or off road, with it being 1/8th scale its a bit bigger so copes with grass better, and it was very well made with good strong bumpers and nice ground clearence,im not sure if they still make them tho, the big trucks from traxxas and tamiya look good fun too they have moster sizes shocks and come mostly built up out of the box but they are not cheap between 300 and 500 quid!!!

I have a Nitro MT2 Rod.

Superb.

Straight out the box and goes like a rocket.

Johnny boy has one too, and has done his up (gears, suspension, chasis, engine etc) and goes like nuts!

Worth looking at.

good on grass !

will depend on who`s grass

nitro will kill nice healthy grass

and nitro cars do tend to spill a bit

As Zee said the HPI MT2 is a great truck for on/off road use. Have a look here:HPI

I've got a GS Storm 1/8th buggy which I use for ramping, we take skate board ramps over the park :D that has survived so much abuse and still lives.

They use bigger ball joints and turnbuckles etc. which all helps its stay in one piece.

Loads of them come ready built now which suits a lot of people

only thing I can fault is body shells are expensive for them, about £35 and they're only Lexan, (Polycarbonate)

Also got a 10th scale stadium truck, still haven't run it as I like bashing the Storm

If you do buy one pay particular attention to the running in procedure and carb mixture needle settings :winky:
