Hi folks, I wasn't really sure which part of the forum to post this in, so I hope it's OK here...?
Basically, at the beginning of the year I bought a Senton BLX 3S and went about replacing all the bearings with sealed ones, upgrading the bumpers, servo, and radio and I'm still having fun with it now.
However, the big kid in me wants something bigger and I'd liked the look of the Mojave from the outset - plus I really like the look of the new EXB version. I had also considered getting a Kraton or Talion, and of course there's also an EXB Kraton now, although not for the Talion yet for some reason...
My question is, which rig should I look at, or is there something else from another manufacturer that is better? I saw a thread about the Losi 8ight that people were enjoying, even as a basher.
What I'm looking for is something for light bashing and general messing about with in the local park - mostly on grass. I want it to have as many upgrades on it as standard so I don't have to mess about with it all again, which is why the EXB models appeal to me - with the sealed bearings and upgraded parts. But I don't know if something like the 8ight might be better, especially as it seems to be well built, maybe a bit like an EXB Talion?
As I understand it though, the 8ight comes as a kit and needs building? also, I'm not that keen on how it looks compared to the Arrma vehicles.
The main reason I'm asking for advice though, is just that I have no idea what's out there or how Arrma fairs compared to other manufacturers? Like, is a Kraton the best jump/basher type truck, or does Traxxas, Losi, etc make something better?
Any and all suggestions welcome - I just don't have enough RC knowledge in general to know what's out there and what's considered good/bad.
Oh, and if there's an option that's lower maintenance, that would be ideal, because with two very young kids I don't get much time to sit fiddling about with things.
Cheers!
