After getting sucked back into the hobby a while ago, and sucking a few friends in with me :D, I've decided what I really want is something that's 1/8 scale and a truggy, I got here by smashing up an FTX vantage trying to do brushless speed runs, and battering a WLToys 124019 around a local carpark, as well as venturing into crawlers, which I really enjoy, but sometimes you just want to be a hooligan.
The chap I share a workshop with has a few 1/8 scale Arrma's, and ideally what I'd like is something of a similar scale.
I'm into truggy's, I like the style, I'm a crap driver and they seem fast and forgiving, and I've absolutely no interest in racing, so ideally I guess what I want is a 1/8 truggy... I love the way they look, the way they drive, and I'm not really into monster trucks.
I also want to do it cheap.. obviously I've got RX/TX from my crawlers that I can use, I do have under my bench an unused 120amp RaceStar (bangood) ESC with a 2150 sensorless 3670 4 pole motor
A friend is looking to move on his brushless converted Hyper 7, obviously that's not a truggy, it's a buggy, but if I wanted to make it into a truggy, what would I need to do that, is it even possible?, it comes with a ton of spares, a decent hobbywing ESC and motor setup, spare shocks and wheels, and a load of CNC upgraded parts
Otherwise I'm considering giving something like a Hobao Hyper ST Pro (and brushless converting it) or should I be looking at something like a Corally Shogun XP?
I hate doing these "what should I buy" posts, and I have searched, but a lot of the threads I've been looking at are quite old and don't really mention the newer stuff.
