RCpete Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Get a 1/8th scale brushless buggy, much less hassle than their nitro brothers and will blow them away in terms of performance! You just need to read up on how to look after lipos and off you go. There are a couple rtr's that could fit the bill........The Hong Nor Sabre e for example at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deafty Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) I am not going to say brushless is better. But I will say (like previous posts) brushless will let you run your model. With nitro I got complaint about my model (noise mainly) but with brushless people just want to watch and enjoy. Remember this is your 1st RC so 4wd will have higher maintenance and generally cost a little more to keep running. The forum choice of the firestorm flux will fit your needs unless you really are in love with 1:8 scale? http://www.amazon.de/H105879-E-Firestorm-Karosserie-2-4GHz-RC-Anlage/dp/B0057CLL18 Edited June 13, 2015 by Deafty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I'm not new to rc but have recently got a HPI Firestorm Flux as I wanted something easy to transport and a bit more sociable than a nitro and for something to run other than my Losi 5ive T which is my race rig. The little Firstorm (little compared to the 5ive anyway) has really impressed me it's very durable and isn't lacking in power and I've only ran it on 2s so far and can't wait to find out what its like on a 3s lipo. It's certainly a fun RC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
