Rush Evo or Sport
 

ok, im sure u can tell im def a rookie with nitro. i started with some japanese shit that supposedly went 80 miles per hour through quick sand...hmm...well, that went down the drain. I had driving my car off-road until i had mass problems with it so i decided to wait until i get money or until christmas to get a new one, one that i could get parts for easily and get advice easily for. so with my budget i think i can get a Rush Evo or a Sport. not sure but i think rush is by hpi and sport is by traxxas. anyone have any suggestions? which is better for performance or dependability and such...thanx

The Rush evo is indeed HPI, and your right about the Nitro sport as well. My advice to you would be to goto your local hobby shop and see what they support. Most likely you will find that they don't have much for either of these trucks. I would look into a Associated RC10GT RTR or a Team Losi XXX-NT. Parts for both are easy to find, they are both very well built and are raceable. The XXX-NT and RC10GT are without a doubt the 2 most popular gas trucks avaliable.

Go with Traxxas JATO - It's insanely fast for bashing yet still raceable you won't regret it....

Other suggestion : Do some reading on your target vehicle to get the idea of strength and weaknesses of your car.

thanx
 

ok, thankyou both. ill search up those three trucks you suggested. i think i looked at the jato before and i think it may be out of my price range but not sure. im going to look at it though. thankyou both again
