Hi im new to the sport and bought my first proper ( be kind) rc car a tamco raider brushless truggy. Mainly for bashing and dog exercise when im unable to get around due to old injuries, i was wondering what if anything you guys have had to do with or heard of about these? I know its at the lower end of hobby grade but on the budget i had i feel i fell reasonably well as i only paid 85 as its new but never run by the previous owner. Rrp seems to be 180 to 225, do they look like oil filled shocks? If not what would be a good upgrade with out paying through the nose. Cheers in advance

Cheers. What a fool, i had eventually figured it out. And i should have known as i make a lot of airsoft customs ( if intrested in seeing the ones i made myself hit me up with a message and I'll send picks ) unfortunatly im not really able enough to play any more but really enjoy building some crazy s#!¿ Gas and electric & hpa. But we usually say 7.2 or 11's for lipos not the number of cells. Odd how two diffrent sports using same kit (well nearly) use compleatly diffrent terms. There is plenty of information on this forum so do use the search button and have a good read at your leisure. Hopefully you'll find all the answers but if not you can always ask.

Hi im very new to this. Infact so new i haven even got a car yet. I've bought 1 but its not yet arrived. I did buy a really cheap 1 just to make sure the dog would be ok with it and she loves it so i have bought a tamco raider brushless truggy 1:10th. Brand new -secondhand ( bought by someone but not used) iv paid 85 quid inc postage. Truth is i know nowt!!!!!! About rc cars so i guess my question is was this a good buy? Is this a decent first ( and probably only) rc car. Being in the country and having land all be it very rough surface , i wanted 4x4 and a decent size. I may in the future want to do an upgrade or 2 but nothing drastic as i wont be compeeting it just for my own and my dogs entertainment. I dont even know what half the things or capabilities are. What is 2s or 3s? Is there anything i should know before useing it? Could i fit bigger tyres or wheels? Should i expect to need to change somthing on it? I realise this is a lower end hobby grade and so much will be generic between makes and models in this class. I just want somthing robust, fairly quick (quicker than the dog atleast) & reliable. Are there spairs i need to carry.
