BryTXT1 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Since getting my txt 1 and upgrading it iv rekindled my love of rc, I'm now very tempted to get a nitro as havnt had one since I was a kid. The txt is great but I'd also like something that goes like stink and makes a good old racket doing it. From what iv seen the savages look cool, people seem keen on the Losi and thunder tiger but i really like the savage for some reason. But what's better the x or the xl? Iv seen an xl for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_bench10 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 It won't go like stink with that 4.1 engine in You want either but look for originality with a few tasty mods you want a clean example not something that's been thrashed within an inch of its life like some have you may be better bud getting for an engine if you buy the xl look at the lrp 28/30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryTXT1 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 When I say go like stink I'd like sort of 40 or 50?? Something that's fast enough to keep me interested but not too technical that I can learn on it easy enough. Think the one I'm looking at has a tank convention so it sits in the front of the chassis rather than over the side and some beefy shocks and couple other little bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan_bench10 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Just budget for another engine with that fella sounds like he's done a few tasty sought after jobs the 4.1 doesn't shift anything loo Edited August 21, 2014 by jordan_bench10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboyneil Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Avoid like the plague he knows naff all about rc he added boost bottles which means you'll spend a lot of money putting it all back to standard so it runs right you mean this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161380591689 Not worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryTXT1 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Thank you Neil very helpful, I know nothing much either so you post was exactly sort of thing I was hoping for, I dint want to end up with a heap of *hit but sounds like I would have if you hadn't said. Main reason I liked that one is tank being moved to the centre, but I'm sure that's something I could do anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_bench10 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He knows absolute naff all he added boost bottles and also said about the 4.1 being the best na the k4.6 ere the best just never seem to last long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryTXT1 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 I put a best offer on the other one that was suggested but the guy said was too low so gona wait and see what else comes up. "Boost bottles" does sound rather gimmicky, was just the fuel tank that appealed to me, seems bizarre to have a fuel tank stuck on the side, can't help the weight distribution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
