What's the ground clearance like on the CRT? better than the ansmann virus? suspension better too? also, how old is the model? the one that modelsport is selling?

Honestly Marky you will not be disappointed with the CRT, I would agree with BBB that the CNC chassis braces are a good upgrade but nothing else is needed. Even the stock servos are pretty good   The shocks are very nice and a lot of people buy them for different models. The plastics are very strong and well made, the whole truggy is put together very nicely. We are not all here saying there great for nothing. I beat the hell out of mine and only broke a front carrier due to crashing into a tree stump at WOT

would you suggest buying upgrades for the losi or is it good for a bashing out of the box?

I never ran mine straight from the box so can't comment on a stock one. I know the shock towers are a bit flimsy but there are a couple of options. There are loads of upgrades out there, check out my 8ight thread   It is one of the finest Rc's I have ever owned

Thanks so much for the help Danny & All, It's just I have had REALLY bad experience buying a car online, I trust Modelsport not to let me down though as the forum is amazing!. Previoulsy when I was new to nitro, I bought an Acme Condor Pro from a company beginning with N....Tek? You know!  it's utter trash and they provide no support after-sales. <.<

I recently purchased a Hong Nor x1x-cr buggy from model sport. Great service and a brilliant little car (1st one ever). Love it so much that today, I bought a CRT roller with the intention of converting it to brushless in the future.
