Eagleseeker Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Total newbie silly question session, sorry. I'm looking to buy a 1/10 4wd brushed Truggy, just going off ebay listings "550 motor...drive shaft" etc.etc. Basically I'm looking for a 4wd off road capable of pulling a lure at reasonable speed to train my Eagle. 1. What kind of range can I reasonable expect, I'm hoping for 100 yards(m) or better? 2. What kind of battery life (e.g.1800mh) can I expect in terms of minutes? 3. Will one of these be capable of towing, at reasonable speed, a 1lb (500gm) weight? I'm looking at something like this??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160901032979?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT or this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380755247064?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Thanks in advance for any/all help.

Savagetank Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm not too clued up on electrical models but nitro is my place, you can buy thunder tiger mta4 .28/.50 monster trucks for less than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I would stay clear of both cars that you listed. Have a look on modelsports website and see what takes your fancy. Run time and speed is hard to be accurate as it depends on gearing and your driving style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp79er Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I agree steer clear of the two you have listed, as they use the same parts as TAMCO, and if you break it you will struggle to get parts for it. I know this from personal experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
