It’s 1/10 time!

[SpinRush_C1]

It’s time for me to choose my 1/10 vehicle and I need YOUR help! Yes, YOU!, the guy reading this sentence. I want an 1/10 buggy that can run on carpet or dirt. ( Just by doing a tire change ). I also want something fast, with superb jump dynamics. I want it to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. I need it TOUGH! I suck at driving. I’m going to crash it, flip it, send it off course, and accidentally smash into other cars on the carpet track.

MOST importantly! The most important thing I need is something that I don’t have to build. RTR! I can’t do it. I’m no PRO. I’m never go to be PRO. I just want to get out there and have a good time! I can fix things. I’ve just never built one of these things and it’s not going to happen anytime soon. I’m not a false beginner. I’m a TRUE beginner. In the LHS, I don’t know what I’m looking at, until I see a picture of a car. I’m not that guy.

I’m looking for your advice, your recommendation. I really want to run on carpet with big jumps like they have at Yatabe Arena. That track is so cool.

Are these any good?

I REALLY WISH Arrma had a 1/10 RTR. Sigh

Typhon 3s, or am I missing something here.

Yokomo for the win! All the way... but I'm sure you can get a team associated buggy that's rtr as well..

That’s 1/8 scale

Needs to be 1/10 I guess

Edit: sorry, dilly beat me to it... not trying to beat a dead horse... lol

Ok, my bad, thought 10 scale for some reason.

Both Typhons are the same size, as are the Sentons.

My mistake. That Yokomo is NOT RTR.

Stay far far away from the Himoto. Out of the ones you posted I would either go with the Yokomo or the Losi.

Team Associated doesn't really make a lot for rtr anymore unfortunately. Nothing in a 1/10 buggy.

Well knowing that I say the Losi.

@SpinRush_C1 trust me on this one. Ran buggies 20 years. The hobao hyper man.. I don't know if you remember ofna. But that's who hobao is. They are still using the 9.5 chassis which for many many years was among the best.

To bad, cause That would be the rig man, that's all you see over here at my local indoor track and they are quality machines! And not cheap for sure...

The himoto is made in the same building as redcat, rgt, and a few others.. they aren't that good for quality wise.. the losi isnt really a buggy, but could work for you I guess, they seem pretty solid from what i have seen of them... the others i have no idea about, but they seem like a gear best or bang good things...

 

[Outcastblxnut]

Any of these.

Right the Yokomo was the best option he posted. Yeah Himoto is just low end entry level stuff that is made to fit a price point, and at that price point you do give up a lot of quality.

That's what happens when you don't own one and think 3s lol.

I wish I would have bought one of the old Ofna ones when Amain or Tower had them for $119.

I was extremely sad to see ofna go. It was my first rig and first love... I had the jammin 9.5 with a novarossi. 28 legend with the aftermarket 2 speed. That thing banging second gear was music to my ears. Lol
