ElDiablo52 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) K so Im thinking about getting back into R/C and Im not much into racing them, although I like speed (old r/c was a nitro GT10) but Im thinking about going monster truck. My "nephew" just got a Traxxas Revo for his birthday and its pretty sweet, the suspension is set up like an indy car with the inboard horizontal shocks. It does however have a ton of sag, and sits pretty low. Im leaning more towards an HPI savage SS with the big motor. I mean its a bigger truck, more power, I like the height of the suspension better, it seems to be built tougher. I dunno what are you guys opinions I know some of you are R/C guys (and gals). :ermm: Edited October 18, 2006 by ElDiablo52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feedmelies Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I bought a Savage when they first came out and loved it. It had a couple weak points in its design which had to be fixed with aftermarket parts, especially when the motor was upgraded, but those issues have long since been fixed. The car has been out on the market for awhile now, so it is very fine tuned. I say go big and get the Savage. It is a great car. You probably won't even want upgrades now that HPI has strengthened the components and added a larger engine. I even took mine out to Glamis once with paddles on all four tires. It was pretty sweet, although I was running it pretty hard. The area is just so open it was hard not to run it strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 i have the revo and take it everywhere, pismo, duemont and glamis and enjoy beating everything. Yes i'm not stock with paddles and a racing pipe but revo is much nicer than anything out right now!!! Just my 2cents :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badshee Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 ive had a t maxx and then an exterminator buggy wiht the mach .26 motor on it and i couldnt keep tires on it. it had so much power it was unbelievable. then i got an ofna and it was slow as shit so i sold it, but my opinion is to get a buggy they are so tough and damn fast..... trucks are fun but buggies are the shit>>>>> :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo52 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ya well if I had the money I would get a buggy...HPI 5b....can you say BIG. The damn thing tears up motocross tracks. I think I could use 1000 bucks more for other things then a R/C car so im going to stick to cheaper ones. Im really leaning towards the savage SS It just seems better in all areas for my needs. I mean the Revo is sweet and pretty technologically (sp?) advanced but with that comes a higher price tag. I would rather build the kit too instead of a RTR, and I have a 2 ch AM radio to get started with already, I would just have to get a better set of servos. Thanks for the info guys and keep it coming. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
