RCbutcher Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 As above if you have a savage flux any other brushless will look tame lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Disagree, a well set up buggy or truggy would run rings round any Savage... Give us some more details, are you looking for something just to bash or perhaps enter the racing world? If you go brushless, are we to assume LiPos and a decent charger aren't included in the budget? Entering the petrol world is all well and good, but they all need stuff right from the box, so if you're very strict on the £600, I'd strongly advise looking for a good condition second hand model. Essentials will most likely be already done and you'll save a good few quid so you'll have some budget left for anything else you wish to add onto it. Judging by the fact you've put it in the MT section, I don't think a DBXL quite qualifies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hash Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Only goin to bash I've got a charger and lipo's already I would consider a truggy also any thoughts on losi xxl2 brushless truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Bashing Truggy? Gotta be the Hyper ST Pro for me. £250 roller, £35-50 electric conversion 'kit' then a huge amount of budget spare to fit a combo and servo. Solid, reliable truggy, handles 6S if wanted (though capable on 4S and huge grins on 5s) with a huge community behind it and readily available spares. The only thing that let's it down, and it's minor, is there's no E chassis - so there always be the extra gap in the chassis for the nitro flywheel. Not hearing good things about the new Losi.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do an electric truggy, the sste but it's not a patch on the St pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
