Alex97 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Budget? Size? Brushless or brushed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shefbiker Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thank you. Good questions. Brushed or brushless... Hmm. No idea what the difference is really. Last time I raced electric about 20 years ago it was all brushed. What does brushless bring?? Size - 1/10 or ideally 1/8. Budget. As cheap as possible really. I know that's a cop-out but I'm not sure what to expect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shefbiker Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 My lads are 4 and 6 so I'm sure you'll understand that I don't want to spend much on it! That said I realise that you get what you pay for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) So ...cheap but strong enough for a 4and 6 year old to bash around....hhhmmm....new or 2nd hand?? where U gonna b using it mostly?? this maybehttp://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/204780-ftx-colt-rtr/ half decent make..cheap... can buy parts if they brake... but mite b bit small and limited to where it can run... could really do with U sayin a max price ur willing to spend tbh mate... would make suggesting things alot easier for us...

shefbiker Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 I've put a bit more thought into this and I think I need a 1/10th buggy due to the rough track we use. I've been looking at an FTX Vantage, but am looking for a used buggy rtr for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jari Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I have a maverick strada xb evo roller in good condition. Could add servo and radio gear. You would just need to sort ESC and motor. If interested I can get pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
