Hawkpalmer Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I fancy something brushless and prefer it to be 1/8 scale! Was looking through the crawler pages but not sure if that's going to be for me although I like the scale look of the jeeps ect (any 1/8th?) Other option is a 1/8th rally (bsr rally seems to be popular atm?) I'm not looking for anything to break any speed records, just something to either build/hopup/learn and rag around 2s/3s lipo is plenty! Budget is a few hundred and I don't mind 2nd hand!

thatRCguy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If you consider a buggy, im saving up for a hobao hyper sse roller but it is available as a rtr if thats what you want. Very few crawlers are 1/8th apart from the capo jeep but thats $1200 as a kit, crazy money. Rally wise, you could look for a wr8 second hand or try and find a new one. Theyre reliable and spares access in uk is top notch. Hope thats helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkpalmer Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm not that keen on the buggy look (hpi trophy/vorza ect) and I had a hyper before! Yeah was looking at the wr8, they do look good and good to know spares are available in UK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wr8 is based on the bullet monster truck platform so is tough as old boots and has good spares compatability and hpi's uk customer service is epic from experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkpalmer Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Too many to choose from now! The scx10 and yeti xl both look decent as does the wr8 lol May have to sell me baja if I keep looking pmsl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) The bullet has a terribly poor drivetrain even HPI agree hence all the upgrades available for it .. The last thing I'd call the bullet is tough as old boots sorry .. As for 1/8th scale if you want cheap and not new factor in a repair bill from the start as for a couple of hundred your going to get something that needs a little tlc, so don't go and blow all the budget on the RC .. If your not het up on a name tag you could look on the hobbyking site at the basher range there cheap will take a light bashing but parts are going to have to come from them and there global site the sabertooth has proven to be quite popular ..

neil.b Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Some of the Arrma cars look really good, as long as you accept the fact that you may end up having to upgrade the electronics at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkpalmer Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Think I'm gonna go for a scx10 as I quite like the scale look of jeeps and they looks like a good little project rc! Got about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
