Another which RC thread

As I'm contemplating selling my Felony I keep wondering if I sold it what would I get to replace it. So far my ideas are a Traxxas Maxx though it's extremely pricey for what it is, a Arrma 3s thing though I'm not sure I want another Arrma, Axial Ryft or a Losi LMT. I'm kind of leaning towards a 3s Armma thing or the Maxx as I think I'd prefer something that I can take out and bash the daylights out of and not care about it.

 

Obviously this all depends on whether I decide to sell the Felony or not but would like to hear some opinions.

Where do you intend to run and what sort of surfaces?

I think there is the perfect 3s Arrma for everyone.

IMO they are actually better than the bigger ones.

The Typhon 3s is fantastic if you wan a bit more speed and buggy handling.

The Senton 3s IMO is the best short course truck available and I've had quite a few.

Or the Granite/Big Rick 3s if you want the MT style, with the durability still.

I would say the biggest flaw in the Arrmas is the LVC does kick in a tad early, at least for my preference.

But lets be honest, for £110 you could get a HW Max10 combo, be 3s and 4s capable, sell the stock unit for even £50, and for sub £400, you're still over £200 better off than the Maxx 😄

Don't really have preference on which but it would probably be between the Big Rock and the Typhon.

Then it comes down to how you want to use it, what you want from it.

Ground clearance, but a bit slower and less handling.

Or better handling, more stable and handles good.

Tbh mine jumps really nicely as well.

And TBH the Maxx needs the widekit!

I was going to say that too, but honestly having not used one I couldn't really advise, but yes it does seem to according to basically everyone.

Here's a Maxx owner confirming that, to go proper careless, it needs the widekit. And new shock oil, it's very soft out of the box, chassis slapping from even 2 foot (feet?) drops. 

 

It drives well enough without, but it does topple easily. 

 

And it's overpriced. Don't get me wrong, i love mine, and i'd buy it again without hesitation, but there's no way around that price.
