Morning All,
First time on here, so hello.
As the title says, I'm on the lookout for a new shortcourse style truck, and being a complete beginner I'm not sure where to start / where to look. My only current experience of RC is playing around with my Haiboxing 18859e, which i picked up during lockdown.
I'm now eager to get my hands dirty.
I really do enjoy taking things apart and upgrading / tinkering (within reason) so a good solid basis is a must. I'd rather spend a little more on a decent platform that can be upgraded, rather than buy a cheaper alternative and always want more.
That being said my budget isn't crazy big , but i'm happy to wait if a better option is currently out of reach. More than happy to buy partly built trucks and learn as i go along - so second hand / spares and repairs aren't out of the question.
Current questions / options
2wd or 4wd?
brushed or brushless?
What should be my priorities?
Traxxas slash?
Arrma senton?
Team Associated Pro 2?
FTX Zorro? (least favourite option)
