Just wondering what others have in this range and any tips on which is better.

I really like the Mini Fox or the Hotshot.

Who has one and what are they like?
What hop ups are needed.
Anyone in the Brisbane Area run these and if so where?

I am only looking at one to bash about.

heres a couple of reviews of a couple of the little Tamiya's

hope this helps

Thanks for the info.

these things look great, seen them at Hobbyco in Sydney, they look like fun at a small indoors track
had my eye on one, dont know anywere in sydney they race them

for bashing about you can't go past a hot shot!! mega strong they are

Yeah was looking at the Fox and Hotshot in the Tamtech but then have 1/10th scale gear and batteries so am leaning towards a 1/10th off roader.

Preferably a buggy over a truck. I haven't seen the Fox re-released but the Hotshot would be the first in line then maybe the Frog.

It would be the Hotshot or a Evader buggy. I would think the Tamiya brand would be better ????

Dunno, hard call.

I'll never buy another Duratrax, as they are not. But the Hotshot is old tech and frail by today's standards of a good buggy (and parts won't be around for ever as it's a re'release special run).

Consider a DF-03 from Tamiya for a basher, or even the Slash. They're bombproof.

true... I am getting a slash myself

Ok thanks for the tips.

Tamiya are great cars and so was looking at one of those. Would love a re-release.

I want the re-re Boomerang because these were the hot ticket in 4WD when I started, but I wouldn't "bash" it... Vintage days at Ryde, no problems

The Slash is definitely a no remorse bash machine...
