kevlondon Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) ive been through a few threads but still cant decided which truggy to get out of these, can some one give advice its not really for racing, just going to the park and doing jumps, dirt tracks etc! (chasing dogs ) Hot-Bodies Lightning Stadium Pro RTR @£285.00 Thunder Tiger MTA-4 S28 RTR @£289.00 Traxxas REVO (Red) @£300 Hong Nor X1-CR Truggy RTR @£344.00 i really like the look of the lightning and looks a good spec for what u get for the money any one had experiences owning two of the above models to compare them with each other? cheers guys Edited October 9, 2006 by kevlondon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam C Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 If its for racing then Id go for the X1CRT if bashing then the Revo but thats just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 welcome to the forum mate.imo the crt rtr is the best for all round i would say but then i have just got one well the crt pro anyway plus if you ever wanted to upgrade it there is a bigger and better choice of engine's you can get the revo is a great truck too (i have two of them so they must be good ) but with both of them spares/hop ups are very easy and very cheap to get.the lightning is ok but when i had the lightning 2 pro parts was a pain to get and cost a lot more then the revo/crt ones do.anyway just my 50 cents worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea118 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 yep, just got a revo my self and highly rate them!! i cant fault it in any way, although ive heard problems occur with the red ones - just kidding also have only heard good things about CRTs but never had the chance to drive one nemind, my day will come, as will many others never heard much of any other in your list, so cant be REALLY popular so its the decision between a CRT and a Revo IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlondon Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Cheers for your input guys! ill have to keep looking its a hard decision ha! but i might possibly go for a revo as it is cheaper and you can, as u said get parts easily!

The X1CRT is pretty highly regarded as one of the best out now, but there are others such as the Kyosho Inferno, Thunder Tiger ST-1, Team Losi's Muggy, the Sportwerks Mayhem, the XTM Mammoth ST, and of course the good ol' Hotbodies Lightning Stadium... It all depends on how much your willing to throw away... err... I mean "invest" and how seriously your planning to race... Personally I'd go for the lightning stadium, plenty of spares around and easily competative with the rest... Or the Losi 'Muggy' to be different from the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 and anyway, i thought it was one of best out there. made by HPI, right? and being made by HPI makes it the best truggy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rush evo dude Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 No, it's just HPI is one of if not the best R/C company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 don't worry about it mate a lot of people think its good just because its made by hpi but imo it ain't my mate got one when they first came out and got rid of it within 2 weeks as he had nowt but problems with it and it was weak.plus now there is a better choice to pick from as the market has opened up for the truggys i would say avoid it but thats just from what i've seen of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 No, it's just HPI is one of if not the best R/C company. not in the racing end of rc's mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
