Hi Everyone, Does anyone run an alternative body shell to the stock one on a Hyper VS? And if so, what.. Cheers, Jonny

Thanks for this info. The xmaxx would be my first choice for a model from the more top end price range. Unfortunately it's out of reach for me at the moment.. 👍🏻

That sounds like a bargain. I must say a new rustler at around £310 doesn't seem good value compared to other models like the Arrma 3s range and the absima torch 4s that are around £329. But I'd quite like one to customise with rpm bits and a different body. What other models do you run? Cheers, Jonny

Hi, Does anyone run an Absima Torch 2.0 4S? Are they good? Build quality and touchness good? Cheers, Jonny

Thanks for this. If I got a rustler I'd want to modify it with different body and wheels straight away. One of the appeals of the rustler is availability of parts. What are your thoughts on comparing largely plastic models like the rustler to things like the Absima Torch 4s truggy that have alloy chassis and other bits of alloy parts. Basically metal vs plastic?

Thanks for this info.. I'm thinking of getting something that will do most things and then the next model will be a track racing buggy. I like the look of the schumacher cougar / lay down..

Hi everyone, I'm just getting back into Rc after around 20 years away from the hobby. My last rc car was a Traxxas Rad2 buggy. I'm trying to figure out what to buy as my first car back into it. Ultimately I'd love a collection of trucks and buggies but financially I can probably only afford to get a model a year at the most. Which makes trying to decide what to get difficult. I'm currently considering an Arrma Big Rock V3, traxxas rustler 2wd brushless, absima Truggy Torch 4s. I'll be blasting around grass, dirt and a bit of skate park fun. Any thoughts? Price range £329 plus battery and charger is about my limit. Does anyone have experience of these models or does anyone have any recommendations? I was wondering whether a Truggy might suit me as I used to have buggies. Many thanks, Jonny
