Hi guys, I'm thinking about buying one of these two cars from banggood . It seems like the 144001 maybe slightly better built, brushed motor and is 1/14 scale, while the Q902 is brushless and 1/16 scale. They are very similarly priced at around £80 and seems similar speeds. Which one would be the better buy in terms of ease of control, ease of finding parts, longer run times, more robust and long term ease of maintenance etc? The car would be used for general bashing in my back garden or local park. Would be happy to hear of any other suggestions for similar money too. Thanks

I was thinking of this truggy type car from banggood. It's brushless, looks similar to the Carnage, but at £68 it's about a third of the price. https://m.banggood.com/SG-1601-2_4G-116-Brushless-RC-Car-High-Speed-45kmh-Vehicle-Models-p-1607943.html?rmmds=search&ID=6157207&cur_warehouse=CN&p=X4211830429452201902&custlinkid=816492 Ok the Carnage is probably a better car, but I guess it would be hard pushed to be three times better. Would these types of cars from banggood have lots of spares available ? Apart from the long delivery time, are there any other negatives from ordering from them? Would be good to hear of any members who have had any experience with them.

Some great advice guys. I understand that sub £200 RTR cars may not be the best choice. I personally like the Traxxas Rustler, but I'm not sure I would want to fork out over £400 for one, or especially for two of them so I could race my son. I've never heard of banggood before, but looking at some of their prices I could buy 2 brushless rc cars and still have change out of £200. Ok I know that they are going to be on the cheaper/fragile side of rc cars and made in China, but I guess most cars come from there anyway. Would this be a bad choice to buy from banggood for a couple of cars to bash around in my back garden ? Are they just really cheap toy grade quality ? I've seen a few decent reviews on YouTube to make me consider a bit of a punt.

Garden bashing, maybe a few jumps but nothing too extreme. Ripping up and down on playing fields (short grass) Just generally some fun

Hello All, I have a budget of around £200 to spend on a rc car preferably brushless for myself and son. I've been looking at cars similar to the ftx carnage, Absima AMT3.4BL ect. I've read mixed opinions on these cars with people saying that they break easily, but are these good value for the price and which car would you recommend at this price point ? I would be using the car in parks over grass and gravel mainly. I could possibly stretch a little more if it's going to bring a big difference in quality and fun factor. All your views welcome
