How durable are the TXT's?

18th scale BL

Too small.

I personally could not input on this, but have heard some good things on them. really all depends on availability of parts to you i guess. I can break anything so parts availability is a must for me.

here is a decent review - http://www.everything-rc-cars.com/61-tamiya-txt-1.html

Slow, not reaching speeds over 5mph.


haha if the 5b isnt fast enough how will this work out for him?

i do realize it is for crawling but if that is true.... id think itd get boring

Get some more money and get a kyosho mp9 when it comes out ..

Yeah i personally would not do a txt cause it is not my style but they do look cool.

just read that thread lincpimp what motor do you like to run in the disco ball ??

neu 1527 on 12s....that should get it going at least.

No. I run a lehner 3080 on 20s. It's not really enough for my ball.

maybe the baja 5b clones?

1 word. Fugly.

invest in oil stock

are you talking about the 5b clones??

exact same minus the brand name, and perfect for your budget

Hmmm... I might look into those. It looks like I'm going to get a 8ight as of now.
