My kid loved playing with my RC car basically all summer soooo I'm getting him a stampede for his bday. He won't be going more than 30mph but I'm still getting the 4x4 vxl because I want to be able to put a big battery in and go 60 lol

Hobby grade cars (even the budget ones) can be great platforms because they can grow with the driver. You can replace/upgrade parts for durability and power increases...etc.

Holy SHIT. This is awesome. Guy turns a 1/25th scale Thirdgen Camaro Dealer promo car into a real RC car.

So traxxas really doesn't do shit for black friday or cyber monday do they

My rustler is great for the in laws house because they have that long straight street and the runoff area, but I want something fast and 4wd for my house so i can rip around in the forest. Thinking e-revo or maxx

BUT i can't comprehend paying full price for anything electronic on cyber monday

Yeah I'm super impressed with how durable they are. I can't count how many times I've rolled mine at 50+mph and have nothing break. Prob easily 20-30 high speed crashes (several above 60 I'm sure) and the only things I've broken are a steering plate and the plastic piece that goes at the bottom of the front spring

I shredded my tires on day 1 but the replacement set (same tires you bought) has been solid AF. They're bald now though lol

28cc V8 AWD with 3spd transmission RC Car you say?

 

[Yaj Yak]

im pretty sure at that point it's a remote control go cart

 

[Lead Pipe]

I really wish the Traxxas Bigfoot as 4WD. I want to bash around the woods behind my house and do some crawling. I don't think 2WD will cut it.

I'm looking at this. Cheap chinese truck but the price is right and might be fun.

TCG should find a skate park or bmx track and bash in the spring.


Used to bash at the elgin bmx park and in Busse woods. It’s been too long since any of my cars have gotten a real workout.

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

I’d love to get back into it. I’d just get a 1/8 scale electric buggy though. Probably kyosho mp9 or something like that. I learned the last go that the 1/8 buggies are probably the best all round bashers money can buy for the stupid jumping and high speed silliness I’d be doing.
