Here is my little dilema. I want to get a nice new PC-70 to mod. The case and other materials will cost me around $300-$375 to finish it. However I have really been wanting to get one of these Traxxas T-Maxx RC trucks. T-Maxx Specs Now, that truck will cost about the same thing as my new project and I cant afford to do both. I can do one now, then the other in 6 months or later but I dont really know which one I should go for now. Just want to hear some of your opinions on what I should get. Thanks.
Spike: that is what I am afraid of, use it for a while and then just leave it sit around, I mean, thats a lot of money to "throw away" Slink: do you have that rush? it looks cool. if you do, is it fairly tough? I may end up just getting a cheaper R/C car and then getting my modding project going on a little sooner.
Had the Rush for about 4 month, nothing broke on it what so ever and i hammerd it all over, Only problem i had with it, was sometimes the reciever houseing would pop open, but a bit of super glue and it was sealed forever, and the rear tires would sometimes come off on tarmac, but hell, its an off roader, not a street racer, Good all rounder, and fairly cheap too,
Cool, thanks for the info Slink. I think I may just go with this Traxxas Rustler because its cheap and that E-Maxx would cost me over $400 with all the accessories and stuff. I think the Rustler will be fine for me and its less than $200 for everything and since this is my first car I dont want to get something expensive and not use it after a couple months. I may get another one if I end up liking this hobby. But if I buy this car I may be able to get the PC-70 in November and some Antec fans and cathodes for christmas. I think I may go over to the local hobby store tomorrow since I know they have that car but I am not sure about the package deal. Hope I get away for under $200. Wish me luck. Off subject, does anyone think this guy look like he is waving his middle finger around, lol. --->
You could allways ask your local hobie shop if they would let you do a deal a kit, Tell them you will pay so much a week and ask if there is anyway he will let you have it after so many payments, My local hobie store owner was great like that, credit on anything i wanted
Hmmmm tough call uhm well ... u already have a case , right ? so thats not something that you have to have ... but ur talking about the PC-70 and thats just more then just a case ... I dunno .. I use my computer whenever i'm at home ... so daily .. but that looks like one hell of a truck looks mighty fun if thats a big hobby of you , and u know u will still love playing with it in about 5 months .... then I might consider the car u have a case , so the pc-70 can wait however , if your biggest hobby is modding ... I'd buy the case there is alot more to mod on a case , then on on that truck .... (I would have the cover (the plastiek truck formed thing), would have to come , and I would make a light aluminium one , thats smaller , a close fit .. , thats what I did with mine (its not such a huge thing though) oh well gotta go to school now Hope i made ur desision easier
Once you have found the steepest hill you can climb, and the biggest jump you can do r/c trucks start to loose their attraction. However, if you can find a couple of mates to race with, or a club, it becomes much more fun. And much more expensive. For cheap fun there are a lot of places selling mini indoor r/c cars that are about 6cm long. www.firebox.com has them in the uk. For not much money you can now waste hours of home and work time, people even mod them! I have had lots of fun modding my case over the last couple of months, but now I guess it just sits there under my desk. Doh! did I just post a link to firebox, see your money dissapear
