Nickarla Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I do agree with you but what are the options? You have to spend 3 times the price to get a 1/10 4wd car with the same levels of parts availability at the FTX that is decent. I would prefer to buy cheap and replace a little more often with cheap but readily available parts than pay more for a tougher car that can’t be fixed when something goes wrong (thinking Arrma and ECX).

DartmoorTrails Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Pretty much down to budget I'd say.I prefer to start cheapish and then upgrade as I go. That way I can determine which upgrades I want,and can afford, whilst still using the car.That said, we're quite fortunate that an upgraded car can be had second hand and sometimes that works really well.I managed to get a very upgraded Wraith for my son over a year ago at a really decent price, £160 that was built by someone who really knew what they were doing. I've had to change the servo only as a must do replacement, but that was after 9 months of proper bashing. Everything else is spot on, not even had to rebuild the shocks over the course of a year which I think is quite unusual.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickarla Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 That’s a great price. Sometimes you can really find a gem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 If you've not got any threadlock, a tiny bit of superglue on the thread should stop it. It's so frustrating when these simple things ruin a good bash. My hpi rush evo used to throw dog bones far too frequently. I tried every trick in the book, to no avail ?
