Vorza for bash and fun?
 
Hi,

I have a brushed E-Maxx which is alot of fun. However, I do miss speed and better handling when driving it. I have thought about upgrading it to a brushless, but I am not sure about it as I don't think the handling would live up to the increased speed.

Therefore, I am considering different options. First of all I thougt about staying in the Traxxas family and get a 1/16 E-revo VXL or a Rustler VXL.

Cheep and fast and probably better handling at speed than the E-Maxx.

But then I saw the HPI Vorza. I have always had a soft spot for buggies, but as I don't race I never considered it to be an option.

However, I can see alot of people have Vorzas and don't race them, but bash and do speed runs. But I cannot figure out how the "buggy bashing" is defined. And how much the lower ground clearence will limit the spots for running the Vorza.

I hope someone can tell me how limited your are in bashing a Vorza?

Thanks.

Jacob

The Vorza is definitely a great bashing buggy. It's insanely fast on 4S. (Ideal pack size for the 2200kv motor)

It is pretty low, but I believe it comes with big shore shocks I believe. Bashing with a buggy is good. These things are built like tanks, and honestly, I believe they are more durable than a Monster truck.

Get the vorza you will love it.. I like mine better than my e revo brushless edition. You can bash as the HPI video shows, and you can race it. Check out video's on YouTube a lot of peps bash and they also race. It is built better than a monster truck due to there compact size. Get it, if you don't like it PM me and I'll buy it off you :)

I'm sure I will love it. I'm just not sure how many places I can enjoy the love :p

Do the Vorza run in grass fx? I like to run at the local park and in my yard, but there is grass. Will it run there?

I run my Vorza on 6s every sunday at the local middle school speed runs on the football field,drifting on the baseball field,and since the whole place is connected with 2 football fields 3 baseball diamonds and a soccer field all on 3 different levels i get massive air going from one level to another.It truly is an sport utility,then throw on the slicks and run the parking lot at 65 mph lol too much fun!!!

Thanks. Sounds like grass it not that much of a problem.

And there is no problem running with heat while running in the grass?
