bertberr Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 As title, just interested if anybody has taken the plunge yet? Quite tempted to get one for xmas, can get one to my door for around 130-135 quid. I know some people have had issues with broken CVD's / dogbones, but others have been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Not heard of it until your post, looks excellent for the price, most reviews are positive, would be interested in your views if you get one, I've a significant birthday coming up in January and the other half is asking what I want 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Yeah does seem to be quiet, people aren’t spending like the used to and any rc purchase has to be thought out for many folk. back when i was working, id almost guarantee a new rc every month, lost a small fortune but got to play with and experience many different rc from different companies, now i have to be very careful what i buy when i can afford it, hence going the Traxxas route. Thats not to say I wouldn’t try some other if money wasn’t the big issue. doesnt look too bad for the money and i believe Rlaarlo make some pretty serious looking 1/12 pan cars so hopefully be more of the same….. is there any upgrade cvd’s kicking about for it? (could well be based on something else) i really am interested in these smaller scale trucks, take up no room and i can leave it in the 1:1, then if i get man urges or happen by somewhere, then i can have my therapy…. keep us posted if you do go for it though please mate, id be very interested in hearing your thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted October 14 Author Share Posted October 14 Still mulling over this, though I have to say the circa 140 quid to the door price starts to appear very good value against the impending mini (mini?) maxx. I appreciate the micro maxx will prob be tougher than the Rog1, and whilst I do use my mini rigs at the skatepark, I don't go out with the intention of destroying them. So, although prob better (certainly better resale if that bothers you), is the new Traxxas likely to be twice as good as the Rog1??? Size wise, the Rog1 is closer to the micro maxx than the Omni Terminator, its also classed as 1/14, coming in around 32.5cm vs 34.5 for the Traxxas. So pretty much bang in the middle of the Grom and the micro Maxx. Just waiting to hear whether radiocontrolled.co.uk will be stocking it... and how much more I'll pay over ordering it direct.
