I’d also recommend the Losi super Baja Rey 2.0 at the large scale it’s unreasonably bashable for the type of truck it is and it goes on sale often it’s also one of the best looking Rc’s and one of the most fun to drive because of its size and the type of truck it is.

One good cheap and fun car is a the hbx 16980sa . I think it was $120 , It’s the latest of that platform with a 3s 2840 3800kv but I think the mjx versions are even more , like the mjx h14bm might be overpowered to bash in high speed ( press button 5 times thing ) but regular looked quick .

Here in Paraguay there are not many options Many very old and outdated models and very high prices, I started with Wltoys 1/14 and 1/12 scales and I ended up buying 2 1/10 scale (lie scales) with brushless motors, now I am seeing that they brought ARRMA and I am thinking of buying a Granite 4x4 (1/10) o un Typhon 4x4 (1/8). The latter are almost at the same price, which one will be better?

I don't dislike the boost but I think the mega class is a better choice for lowest possible budget basher type. I have the Gorgon instead but have often thought about getting a mega Senton and making it brushless simply because I like the mega colors better and that's cheaper than buying a blx version and a mega body.
@K5_RC8 ай бұрын
Gorgon is definitely better out of the box, but the simple and cheap 4x4 kit makes the boost trucks quite worth it imo. Fully upgradable all the way to full 4S with OEM metal drivetrain parts and a center diff module. Best project car platform IMO, but needs at LEAST the 4x4 kit to be worth a dime. Handles horrendous on dirt out of the box. But the 4x4 kit and a 3S system make for a great little project. But absolutely more worth it to just buy the 3S. Which is why I'd definitely get the boost to upgrade to full 4S venter diff full metal drivetrain kit
@RcPlayer-tt2vw8 ай бұрын
Agree , 3s blx line and Gordon some of the best rcs you can buy well under 500 , like razor said , being a guy using all rcs , those rcs are great and fun for everyone. Boost of course is fun to upgrade if that’s your route learning the mechanics while increasing performance. Arrmas a great company , good reason traxxas put them out of business 😂

Hi Razor, Are you going to test Kagama soon ? I've 3 Arrma's (BR, Outcast 4s, Vendetta) and bought Kagama as a change. It was cheaper in UK than V5 Kraton and as you say it has better esc & motor. I was influenced by mate who has a punisher and TC made many improvements quite quickly between Punisher, Kronos & Kagama. The reliability / durability cf with Arrmas is also better but I have been running on 4S and I'm not doing massive dirt jumps but tend to run / jump it on BMX tracks.
