exceed rc brand any good?

[surby]

so i want a truggy and im not made of money so i went looking around and people say that the exceed madwarrior is like a ofna. im wondering if anyone has any of there rc's and if they are any good?

[benben10]

i would say no. someone sells them intown and the customers come to our hobbyshop for help and I tell them we can help them figuring stuff out but we cant help them with replacement parts and its hard telling them we cant fix their cars. the materials they spec are much weaker than what comes on other brands. alot of the american brands are coming out with great package deals for the RTR versions of their cars. truggies usually dont break unless they are being run on really hard packed tracks but the ones from Exceed will break much more easily. see if there are any hobby ships near you to see what cars they support but i would try my hardest to stay away from exceed and other "chinese" brands (acme is another). Team associated and Losi would be the best choices. i also hear they have practically no customer support.

could i take parts from a losi and put it on one of these cars. i just dont have 700 bucks to go drop on a buggy or truggy

[savtraxx]

Please dont buy one of these.

thier worse then those 9.6v cars at the toy shop.

my mate got one and i could bend the driveshafts with my bare hands.

he ended up putting it in a vice and squishing it before we threw it in my pool and played soccer with it

and losi and asociated are race brands , no good to you , you want a car you can drive around with thats fun , durable and fairly cheap.

look into something like a traxxas electric or a hpi maby even a duratraxx or something.

Check around in your area and see what kind of parts support your local shops have. Use that info to help make a decision on which brand to buy.

You don't want to sit for a week or more waiting for parts to come by mail everytime you break simething. And you will be breaking parts.....

im gonna try to get this and show my stepdad truggies are way cooler than buggies

[benben10]

lol have fun. to each his own, but dont get too mad if you see a buggy sneaking by on the inside line of a race track

[savtraxx]

dont be cut when you get lapped by buggies

truggies are definately cool but.

[surby]

it seems truggies would be better to handle and land cause the arms are longer which i like. the buggies seem short and faster. but its not about speed i would rather clear jumps and be able to run the track without crashing

[benben10]

thats true. thats basically the reason for the seperation of buggy and truck classes. the trucks are more stable but the buggies can maneuver slightly better, but mostly i was just teasing you
