bobcatmax Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Evening all, Looking for something 1/16 scale or smaller for mucking about with the youngest now he's a bit older. (We've got a little wpl crawler but it's not fast enough, apparently! The little blighter is only 4) Quite budget and speed conscious so brushed might be a better option.. What has anyone got..anything gathering dust or something they're looking to move on? Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Note i am not selling this but its a recommendation, i have 1 and its pretty good for the price https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/absima-storm-1-18-4wd-high-speed-monster-truck-24ghz-blue-442305 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobcatmax Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 Thanks for that. I've fixed a friend's son's Absima for him. Well put together for what it cost, taken a beating too..I'd not thought about that The Spirit MT looks like there's room for tinkering too.

wolfie1 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The spirit looks better than the storm tbh, but have no experience of that model, 1 thing i do like about the spirit is the battery is gotten from inside the truck whereas the storm its a battery cover thats accessible from the bottom, i have changed mine to metal diffs and oil shocks that i modded from wl toys buggy front shocks which made a big difference to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshireman Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Or...maybe, the new Maverick Atom ? Looks like a good value little truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The Blackzon Slyder is the same model as the FTX Tracer, but it retails at only £64. 1:16, brushed, 4WD. Truggy and Monster Truck. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/search/?search=slyder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about the combo esc tho. I'm sure I could overlook that The tracer is one we've looked at,as well as a few others. Unfortunately brand may be a little out of the price bracket. That being said, they're pretty competitive prices even so.. Thanks for the input so far gents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
