willb Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 After seeing Sam's brushless buggy the other day I'm finding myself really wanting one! My Slash is brilliant and it never fails to put a smile on my face but it's not a buggy or as quick or stable and is pants at jumping! I'm in two minds whether to put the Slash up for sale and buy a Vorza or stick with the Slash. I have a Hyper 7 which isn't very old either so that may go too... What do people think? My Slash is fully RPM'd so is a decent machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbkpsycho Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Why dont you sell the slash and convert the hyper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Kinda like it nitro. It runs so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Where do you run your rc's? Vorzas are awesome, however I prefer a brushless 1:8 truggy for rough ground and big jumps Truggys are much more forgiving if you land slightly off, if you land a vorza with the front or back down to much it will dig in and flip That doesnt happen so much with truggys They handle really well too with the right set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNut Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) ive owned neither but the vorza does looks very good ive seen a few videos on you tube and it looks really stable very good at taking really high jumps and it looks sexy as fak. but honestly i wouldn't sell the slash and the hyper to get one slash is a great car and i would keep it.

willb Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 I run in a massive open area, loose ground, jumps, bumps, etc. The truggy option would be the Trophy truggy. Nearly as expensive as the Vorza but limited to 4S and not quite as powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 vorza 100% for me mate. nothing comes close. the only fault i see with it is the price. but it has a mmm combo (rebadged) so i guess half the money is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo666 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Out of all my vehicles the Vorza is hands down my favourite. If I had to keep one car due to shortage of funds I would retain the Vorza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) I'll be picking one up from America so it's not too bad price wise. Sub £300 I think I'd probably hang on to the Hyper too as I'd want a backup! Edited July 20, 2011 by Euphoria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jony nitro Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I would buy seperate electrics and then a pro buggy, someone is selling a brushless roller 2.0 eu or just get a truggy has you have a buggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'll have a think as people are saying keep my Slash and others are saying get a Vorza! I quite like HPI cars and as they've sorted me out with replacement parts for my Baja that fubard at the weekend I kinda wanted another! I'm a member of Tower Hobbies which is why it's priced how I said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom C Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Keep you slash save the pennies and convert the Hyper. Or sell your hyper for a vorza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Ok! I'll see what I can do with the Slash to improve durability with the driveshafts and maybe buy a Vorza next month as I just found out we're getting a bonus from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmst74 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 You could always convert a different buggy. There are far better buggys out there TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooBoonix Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 sell the slash, not the quickest and it dont like corners, keep the hyper tho, if you sold the hyper you would be sooooo sad and bored as any other car breaks so quick!! lol, i wouldnt get a vorza as IMO they are overpriced, i would buy a hyper 7/8 roller (i would try to get a hyper 7) and convert as they can be crazy quick and handle like your hyper at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
