jjh23 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hi guys not really been on here a great deal since lock down 1, when I was always on ha ha anyway, so I could do with another car but I don’t know weather to get another of which we already have or something different? we already have trx4 defender trx4 bronco trx4 sport element rc ( builders kit) scx10ii honcho scx10ii (builders kit) Ftx outback out of the ones we already have I’d probably go with another element, I really like how smooth they are to use, maybe even the gate keeper. what would you buy and why? my only real preference/want is that I kinda like to be able to get spares fairly easily and in the UK.

m4inbrain Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 GMade GS02F Buffalo, Absima 3.4 Sherpa. I'll be ordering a Buffalo - mainly because i haven't dealt with GMade yet, curious as to what it's like, and it looks pretty nice. SCX10.3 would be another option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjh23 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Ah yep not looked at gmade yet, also I will say, out of the cars we have, the Scx10ii’s are my least favourite, BUT having said that I really liked the look of the unimog and I think if they realease it with the portal axles one will be coming my way ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sherpa is good value for money (it's basically a TRX4, same features, Jeep shell), i really like the Buffalo but of course that's down to preference. If you want a Unimog.. There's another option, since you have a few TRXs. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000588388143.html?srcSns=sns_Copy&spreadType=socialShare&bizType=ProductDetail&tt=MG&aff_platform=default&sk=_mtRfa17&mergeHashcode=22859169984&description=US+%24159.99+|+RC+Replacement+324mm+Wheelbase+Body+Shell+for+TRX4+SCX10&aff_trace_key=89b2f412a2154450ace7294944d04a92-1607297318674-01605-_mtRfa17&businessType=ProductDetail&title=US+%24159.99+|+RC+Replacement+324mm+Wheelbase+Body+Shell+for+TRX4+SCX10&platform=AE&terminal_id=3f3bcf0b6ab04afe9a6b71bc10d4637b&templateKey=white_backgroup_101 Sorry for the huge link, no idea how to shorten it. It's this: Hardbody for the TRX4. If i still had mine, i'd have bought it long ago - looks so much better than the Axial shell, and due to portals on the TRX.. I mean.. Match made in heaven. Just love this shell. And it's the correct model year as well, unlike the Axial shell. At least to me.

rob bark Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 If was me would use trx4 an go with above unimog body!! Even though I prefer the older version mog!! Having seen one of these bodies up close there very nice an lots of detail! Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Looking at your list of cars, you have a lot of similar rigs, i would be looking at something completely different like a rally car or maybe a basher buggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjh23 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Mmm, I quite like that unimog body, are they strong and hold up well? regardless I still need another rig soon I did watch a scale builders guild video on the buffalo too, looks good, may look into that one a bit more, I also didn’t realise the scx10iii’s come with high/low speed as well as DIG transmission until earlier jack, that’s not all of our cars, just the crawlers, 6 kids and a wife that likes crawlers = lots of cars lol, she wants a trx6 next for herself, although she has 0 interest in the bashers I also am going to buy a 1/5 petrol in the summer, used to love my losi 5t a few years back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'd fancy a TRX6 as well, love the looks. Almost £800 is taking the pees though. That's close to what i paid all in all for my SSD Trail King - including a top spec hand wound Holmes motor, hard shell etc. Speaking of, i'm not sure if it's still available - but the Trail King certainly is a nice kit to build.

The_Rainbow Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) It sounds like you've got quite a collection of rides already! If you're digging the smooth vibes of the Element RC, maybe sticking with another one would be the move. Plus, having easy access to spares in the UK is a clutch for keeping the fun going without any hassles.When I needed to move some wheels to another state, I checked out A1 Auto Transport for a quote. They hooked it up with enclosed shipping, keeping everything safe and sound.

JonnyUK Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Have you looked at the Crossrc range? I really like the look of those and like RCs in kit form. Bit pricey but the specs are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
