hipwell Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Well you would buy an hpi sprint 2 for bashing on a car park or you would buy an xray t4 for racing. That's what I was getting at but no worries.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw2806 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Ah I see what you mean I have always known bashing as off road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Allen Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Your best bet is to get to the local clubs and see what classes are being run, then you will be sure to get the right kind of car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantra Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 What you've never taken a TC over a jump xD But yeah best advice is check your local club, see what classes are popular, what the rules are and what chassis are popular in those classes.

ratman Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Alturn usa low profile high speed. Good budget servo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I use a Savox 1252 in mine. I'd recommend getting a servo saver if you've never raced before and racing indoors as you're bound to have a few collisions. It might be worth running a servo saver outdoors too but depends on the track if has walls/curbs you can hit etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 No problem, what class are you going to be racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I have used a futaba s9550 in my last 3 touring cars, which span over the course of about 7 years! needless to say, its been very reliable. Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
