Kukynas Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 no worries, it's not even out yet, once we see real world performance we can start judging if it's worth it and I'm pretty sure there are other alternatives you might be interested in, small hint: Traxxas Maxx competitor is knocking on the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carnage is two thirds of the price of the Rival MT (£200 with lipo and charger vs at least £300 for the Rival with lipo and charger, and that's just us guessing the price - could easily be £349 as well). While i think that the Rival looks awesome, it's not necessarily the "better" truck. Electrics, size, probably radio (couldn't find anything on the Rival Radio, but considering the price it won't be a stunner of a radio either) - all are somewhat equal. Nothing on either truck is top drawer (reedy electrics for the Rival, Dynam electrics for the Carnage, both plastic bombers, etc - though the Rival has a better servo, it's not "£100 better"). No, the carnage isn't the greatest RC ever made, and btw, it's also not the cheapest. It's, as you said, the best value at £100 less than the Rival. The Rival in fact is very close to the Typhon 3s, which comes with good electrics etc. Granted, it's a buggy so it has some more stringent requirements for where to run it - but the question wasn't "what's the cheapest monster truck", it's what's the best value entry into the hobby. While i personally would take the Rival over the carnage (that's down to looks almost entirely), i wouldn't take a Rival over a Typhon 3s if i could run it. I mentioned that i really like this truck, but it's not even remotely close to a ProMT, Tenacity or Kraton/Outcast. It doesn't want to be, either. That's where "cheaper" not "more value" is used as the yardstick. Every one of those trucks is not even remotely comparable in quality to the Rival. Stampede or Granite, sure (though i'm not familiar with either, so i can't judge how much you get with those for your money). I stand by my opinion, as "the best value entry RC", the Carnage is better. That doesn't mean it's the better RC, it means that it's £100 cheaper but still a decent RC, not a china toy. If you can run a Typhon where you live (and as i mentioned, i understand that not everyone can - i can't, for example), it's better value too at almost the same price of the Rival. If you can't run it, yeah, it's not an option obviously and the Rival beats it by default. edit: but judging by the comparisons made here, we seem to be talking different categories entirely. I'm talking entry into the hobby, you guys are talking purely monster trucks (which of course the carnage isn't in the first place). Pardon my ignorance, but is this the FTX Carnage you're talking about? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/ftx-carnage-1-10-4wd-brushless-truggy-rtr-waterproof/rc-car-products/40397 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Very intriguing! Dont like the fake exhaust or LEDs, but be good to see what spares/hop ups/support is like with AE (my last AE was a TC3.....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kukynas Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Helion avenge parts will fit except wheelie bar, wheels and shell so should be fine, I just ordered another set of wheels/tires and spare parts from wheelspin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I am so very tempted to get this as my next model and sell some of my other ones. No longer have any 10th scales or monster truck style cars. So be good to have one. And this looks cool to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Also very tempted with this, was going to build another 2.2 Bomber/Wraith style rig, but would be great to have another basher alongside my Senton. In comparison to the Granite/Big Rock from Arrma, I think this looks better, I can get it for £232 delivered in the UK... That nearly 20quid saving over MS price makes all the difference IMO and about £50-60 cheaper than Granite/Big Rock... Very very tempting. I also just like AE stuff.

Yes anyone can. https://www.makeitbuildit.co.uk/team-associated-rival-mt10-rtr-truck-brushless-2-3s-rated-85343 Use code; welcomeback... I am not affiliated with them and get nothing, but their prices are excellent and so is the service. They are getting back to me tomorrow with an exact delivery date, if it's the beginning of March or earlier, I may pre-order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
