I'm curious - which 1/10 electric touring car do you guys think is the most durable? I've heard good things about Xrays, Barracudas, RClabs, HPI Sprints. Are there others?

What parts are the weakest/wears out the fastest on these cars?

I'm driving a Smartech Mega now and I'm looking for something tougher.

Thanks.

my vote:
Xray.

Between myself i have driven quite a number of cars and i've settled down with this (T1R).I bet the T1 Evo will be even tougher.

If your looking for something to toughen up ur SMT,
u might want to try a full carbon fibre conversion for like RM200 something.and then a full aluminium arms/suspension conversion for a similar amount.

I've seen a fully changed SMT and it was very smooth and quiet.It had some prevalent handling issues though.

HPC II

have a look at the new Shaft Driven HPI Pro4....it is one sophisticated EP ride.

Thanks for the feedback, Lee.

I don't think I will buy hop-up options to trick out the SMT because I think it will cost too much in the end and still, the gearbox will be the weak link because the pin rods for suspension arms thread right through the plastic gearbox and are not held at either end by metal plates. I'll keep the SMT as a cheap and fun rally-car conversion project, but I'll not spend money on it until I can figure out a way to brace the suspension arm rods.

Good stuff. Keep your votes coming!

Im sad u did't even considered Tamiya TB EVO3. For everyone & also the LHS scared when i bought the EVO3). The hobbyshop scared their arms parts will never be sold out to me...cost its a tank car....side accident with Xray...im sure Xray will go 1st then EVO3....thats for most durability...TO ANSWER YER QUESTION.)

but since u asked only for those cars...i would go for Barracuda (R3). For excellency...go for XRay...yes xray the best craftmanship.

jangan marah...just my 2 or maybe 5 cents lah.

For me is the Kawada, this thing can almost outlast any cars out there and price quite affordable too. I have been running my old Kawada for a long while now and only change the consumable parts like belts and bearings, the rest, still original. The New Sigma should worth a look!.....

Seems like you are the first one to touch anything RC in KK.......

Not to say I only limit it to those cars I mentioned. Just that I am not very knowledgeable so I only mentioned the few that I knew and remember. Now that I've seen pictures of the TB Evo3, I really like that too. Thanks for the info.

Keep the votes coming
