Looking for a new project

[nastety92]

I'm in the market for a new project vehicle. Right now I have a brushless Stampede, brushless RC10GT and a E-Maxx roller. I'm looking to get rid of the Stampede and E-Maxx.

I'm looking for a 1/10th or 1/8th scale or just something that is similar size to the RC10GT. 4wd and fairly light. I'm going to run a brushless setup in the new vehicle on a set of lipo's.

This will be a basher for me since there are no real tracks close by. I'm looking for long runtime and medium power.

I'm looking to spend $150-200 on the main vehicle purchase them buy all of the electronics after that.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

I'm looking for either a truggy or buggy. Something that is very durable that won't need a lot of suspention upgrades right away.

Thanks for the help,
Nick

I agree here. There are a few threads on this particular vehicle as well.

Otherwise, look to rctech.net For sale section. Lots of buggy/truggy rollers for sale.

If you're looking for 4wd and lighter than a 1/8 buggy, theres the HPI mt and mt2. They can be run on a less powerful setup, but are not as durable as a 1/8 buggy/truggy. PM me, I have an older ofna 1/8 buggy roller already converted (spare mmm2200 combo as well) and might be interested in some sort of trade for the EMaxx

ofna just came out with their hyper 1/10 truggy maybe worth a look. new roller perfect for your price point.

That Ofna truggy looks real nice, just the size I'm looking for too.

This might be a good option. Does anyone own one yet?

That truck looks great. I've actually been modifying my RC10GT lately and I should have new pictures up this weekend. I have the newer style RC10GT wtih the blue aluminum chassis. I'm running a Figeao S series motor and CC Mamba Max. I just installed a battery from RCM and made my own ESC/ Receiver mount.

Here it is with the old Battery box setup, along with the old ESC and Receiver mount.


I also just picked up a CRT.5 roller with RCM extended chassis.
