BusyBeingBorn Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hong nor CRT fr me, but I am biast, great all rounder, tough an comes with big bore shocks which the trophy doesn't an it's cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbenji Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hpi savage x 4.6 it loves the abuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmytheone Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 If your bashing you cant go wrong with the HongNor CRT. Cheap spares and incredibly tough. Also a great truggy for a brushless conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Another vote for the CRT! I gave mine hell and it wouldn't break!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrMarky Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Do you like the trophy at all? Or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyBeingBorn Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I have seen both side by side and they are both really good but I prefer the hong nor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie87 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 whats the catch with the hong nor? seems cheap compared to the rest im in the same boat as the op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmytheone Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 As far as I've seen there is no catch, a proper bashers truggy. Seen quite a few at bashes both Nitro and Brushless and they take a hell of a beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie87 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 ok. the shell prety fugly but its quite tempting other wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) the trophy needs some upgrades to surive big landings but they aren't that expensive the hong nor is stronger but i don't like the standard engine as much. i would say the hong nor is worth it though just for the 16mm big bores compared with the small (12mm?) on the trophy Edited May 22, 2012 by Jumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrMarky Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks for the feedback, I like the hong nor but I don't know if it's just modelsport that stocks parts for it etc?

cboy Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 sorry to hijack this thread but i am in the same boat apart from my budget could stretch to a losi8 truggy, not for racing just taking over the park and to the local woods, is the losi truggy overkill for what i want?

MAZ Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Theres a hyper st in the "for sale" section: http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/142347-hyper-st/ Pretty damn fine truggy, i'm biased though as I own one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 sorry to hijack this thread but i am in the same boat apart from my budget could stretch to a losi8 truggy. If you can afford it mate get the 8ight T I have had a CRT and currently own a brushless converted 8ight and they are both amazing bashers. The Losi does handle better imo but that's about it.
