landmaxdriver Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 kyoshyo landmax and along with that dreadful engine. i hated that. The engine in the Landmax is great! If well looked after they are right screamers! My Landmax is tough, handles amazingly well and puts a huge grin on my face every time I use it! Had mine 3 years and the only thing I've replaced is the engine because I ran the original one until it had no compression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaymary Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 the acme condor, couldnt pick the car up without something breaking, let alone drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yrkoon Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 probably a toss up between a hpi brama b and a kyosho nitro dbx, brama was just cheap and the dbx is always having problems and parts breaking even while driving in a straight line on tarmac lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie87 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 its a close run thing between the traxxas slash and the merv. slash was to light took off it you drove it in a light breeze and the esc sucks balls merv broke when you looked at it funny. didnt go round corners and was totaly stumped by this thing called grass....

norcoforever Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 mine has to of been either my BSD landripper most fragile car ever created or my merv which as stated is stumped by grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoka Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 My first ever nitro was a CEN Fun Factor ATX and what a waste of money that thing was. It worked flawlessly up and down tarmac, in a straight line but put any type of strain on the drive train & it'd shred the spur gear instantly. I must have gone through around 5 spur gears in as many weeks before deciding to get rid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Basher Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 For me it's the hsp bugcrusher. The parts were all made of cheddar. Bent nearly every shock on 3 crushers. 8 shocks on each lol. The electrics were terrible and the radios even worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtremelySavage Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 My MERV, upgraded every part that was necessary and still decided to break on the silliest of things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joew39 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hotbodies lightning gtx2.cost a fortune at the time, Looked amazing but that was it. The "hardened" diffs failed literally on every outing I ended up with a spare to take out with me. As for the engines, wouldn't hold a tune atall, complete pigs to start,would barely run together. I remember finally getting them running together, within half a tank the rear diff failed and the now front wheel drive truck spat a dogbone out somewhere in a field. I never found it. Those half tanks were its greatest and last moment under my ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astranaut Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Tamiya M-02, bought off eBay, never worked properly, ended up one day just taking off of its own accord, hit a kerb, bounced inot a wall and snapped in half, goof riddance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazeland Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Kyosho Sandmaster RTR mk2! Yes I was young and fairly clueless but this thing had me on the verge of tears every time I got it out to have some 'fun'. The pullstart would snap and the spring would fly out every time I tried to start it, I bought over 15 pullstarts at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesinamillion Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Mta4 Don't know why there rated so highly, **** performance, poor quality, ridiculous to work on, gears were a joke... Never agin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaZilla Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 What did they do to mess up the MTA4? Wasn't it based on the Thunder Tiger ST-1 ? One of the most indestructable truggies ever made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Tamiya Astute, Tamiya should be ashamed of themselves, So many things wrong with that thing I can't be bothered to list at this time of the morning. Following very very close behind we have the FG Marder, One of the most over hyped, Over priced, weakest piles of tate I had the miss pleasure of paying good money for, If I had one now and it broke I would go the other way and replace them with parts from a Shengqi.

Thatsliam Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 A HSP (heavy S*** product) ferret. Was ok to drive due to its short wheelbase. But the parts would snap very easily. (i broke stuff bumping down curbs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanio Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 That's easy; Traxxas Mini E-Revo... Biggest pile of junk I have laid cash into. It was my first Traxxas and I expected a lot from it based on the Traxxas reviews. But it was full of issues; leaky shocks, sloppy carriers, easily damaged diffs, self destructing drive shafts, poor screws, cheap plastics and questionable electrics. Every run required maintenance of some description and something would break. I spent a fortune on upgrades to improve it so it was usable for 10 minutes before another rebuild. Junk junk junk!

JFS666 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Lots of hate on the Mini-Revo. I was going to get my GF one so she had something to play with while I played with my Hyper 7.Don't think I will now but maybe something small and Losi.

Rover Man Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 For me its a toss up between a Lauterbacher super X or the MCD V4 Both great cars when working but both the most unreliable cars ive ever owned. No matter how much time and money i put into the V4 i just could'nt get it race reliable. Takes all the fun out of it if you cant get to the end of a 30 min final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 When we have a thread like this I'm not sure HSP's or Shengqi's etc should count. They are bad because they are cheap knockoff's - anyone with any knowledge (so admittedly not a first timer) would have a good idea what to expect. Its full priced models from supposedly reputable manufacturers that should never have got past product testing that really belong here......

Tug Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 My biggest money-pit has to be my 3906 E-Maxx. In stock form it was ok, top speed was only mid twenties, but it turned corners and jumped fairly well, then I went brushless and it all fell apart. I spent over a year pouring money into it! The end result? 95% of the original has gone in favour of hop-ups! Literally all that's left is the front shock tower and both bumpers! Couldn't part with it now, but that said, I don't actually own a 3906 anymore, only 5% of it left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
