What should i do? - 06.23.2008, 08:58 AM

Hey guys, im in a bit of a Jam here... I had everything lined up for an e-lst when ebay decide to charge me for the sale of a Bike from a month ago...

I have 225 Dollars, what should i blow it on?
i was thinking about picking up a new Rc18T and getting a hopped up Brushed motor for it.. Or Upgrading my raze.. but with what?

Let me know what you think i should get or do.

Rc18t is a fun little truck but for $225 you won't get the truck and go brushless with it. Truck is about $180 and a CC setup for it is about $110. Maybe upgrade the raze or buy some lipos with the $

I went up to a bunch of cars but have shrunk to one of each type and making them really nice... I would ditch the raze and get a nice buggy roller i.e. 8ight, x1cr, mb5 and have a solid platform to build from...

yeah yeah, everyone keeps telling me that the raze isnt a quality car.. but its been perfect... all the things ive broken were my fault..

Diff gears..- not shimmed right and landed @ 1/2 throttle
Rear hub- hit a dumpster..

*edit*
If david and i can strike up a deal it will be a Mbx5t :D

Just wanted to comment on this, I've also got a Raze mine is the ST Truggy and everyone tells me what a piece that it is. But I've had it for a while now, it is nitro still but runs like stink. I jump it 15' in the air, lawn dart it and the only issue is a busted receiver pack. Crashes all the time and no breaks, maybe it is a pile, but for what I do I haven't found a week point yet and I am very hard on it as far as I am concerned. Might not be a good race truck, but other than that it seems pretty bullet proof.

Also tower having that huge Raze and Raze ST sale last month I think that I've got 3 of every part on the truck. It just seems that I may not need any of them.

Sorry for the hijack.

-Brian
