XV Pilot Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hard to say without seeing the condition of the used one. How well-used are we talking here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Vaterra V100 all the way, basically a Tamiya on steroids, ive got the TT02-B and the V100, the V100 is far more durable with its design and rugged build quality as its based on the Hälix monster truck platform (metal diffs go straight in to the V100) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitz47 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Oh nice cheers mate, i bought the vaterra 1st and really love it but was a bit disapointed with upgrade availibilty, i do like buying fancy parts lol. Im glad you said the vaterra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 As a counter argument though, the TT-02 is far more widely supported by the aftermarket parts industry, so if you want upgradability, it will give you far more options. And the metal diffs from the DF-02 go straight into the TT-02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skitz47 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Cheers everyone but after a little run about its gotta be the vaterra me thinks. Upgrades are disapointing but hey ho theres always pros n cons. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyb84 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 i use asiatees for upgrade parts for my vaterra, they have loads of parts at reasonable prices i have the alloy steering assembly on mine, different shocks, alloy centre shaft and alloy hubs. i havent done anything else because i prefer plastic parts for the flex. http://www.asiatees.com/model?Vaterra-2012-NISSAN-GTR-Upgrades-Parts-Hop-Ups&brand=Vaterra&model=2012 NISSAN GTR&c=search_enter heres a link to the parts asiatees sell for the model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveyb84 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 yeah it took me a while to figure it out but then i realised its all the asme chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 its a V100 chassis, only difference is the front air dam on the C that comes with the GTR lemans style. My chassis has only had a gearbox half replaced in 2+ years of owning it. Only upgrades ive done are the ally centre shaft, ally prop cups, camber adjustment kit and the diffs from a Hälix monster truck. Still the original CVD's from stock, its had 4s with 7900kv run through it and its still spot on. Also had the 7900kv with a 120a turbo esc in there pushing 75000+ RPM and the drivetrain is still pukka. It don't need a lot to make it last forever.
