probably the .21 hyper 7 unless anything else in the electric department shows up, my only concern is what to do if it wont start and the noise pollution

 

Honestly mate, i would go electric. Connect the batteries and away you go with hardly any noise! No pullstarts, no carrying fuel or starter boxes. I was nitro all the way back in the day, then a few years ago i tried brushless and never looked back.

I know mate, they are a bit more expensive than the nitros!.... But are worth it imo!  What do you think of the Hong Nor ?

well u jus answered ur own dilemma. ..u need brushless then imo....as u sound unsure of nitro and the issue it may raise. ...which is u understandable....i'd go with the Sabrex3 if this is the case. ..or eb4g3

the sabrex3 has been compared to the hyper. ...which is a bold claim imo....a few on here have them and say they r very well built and bash able. ..so u should have no quality/build issues . Edited by evssv
