What should I get?
 
Ok, im gonna have about $200 to spend and here are my choices:
1. Ko Propo Mars(Have a magnum junior FM now)
2. Indi 16X5 Charger(have a 16x2 now)
3. Corally C4 AGLE(I just like to have other cars, have an Atlas YM34 right now)

and maybe some other cars..but I have no Idea what to get...I have 4 good battery packs so im set for that..plenty of tires..Atlas is hard to break so I dont think I need any parts..and I have the RPM camber guage..so let me know what you guys think I should get, Thanks

I'd say you should get a radio, because you WILL use alot of the features, and they will make driving easier once you learn how to use it.

Yeah, a radio can help alot. I would say save just a little extra and go for the M8, but that's just my opinion. You can always have more batteries and motors to practice with anyway!

I say get the radio, your YM34 is good enough.;)

AE_Racer 08-20-2001 06:31 PM

yea I like the idea of a radio....aghhhh I dunno yet

JeffC 08-20-2001 06:41 PM

It sounds like you've got a good car, decent charger, good packs, enough tires/parts, good tools... What ESC and servo do you have? Even if they're real good, a good radio should be a priority. The features will make driving easier, which will probably lead to faster lap times. Besides that, there's always the "cool factor"

Yes I'd get the radio too, but I'd go for a used Magnum 3PJ if you happen to come across one on the marketplace, I like its feel better than the KO.

Matt M. 08-21-2001 05:41 AM

yup...the radio...you can get a radio only m8 for about 200.....that is what i did....

Speedo 08-21-2001 10:39 AM

Yeah, of course you could always buy a TC2 or better servo if your current ones aren't so good.

I would go with the radio. The MARS is a cool looking radio, and i like the feel. I also like my 3D, but some people feel it is too bulky. I change the Spectra almost every weekend, so that is a nice feature to have too.

I have a Novak C2 and a S3003 servo(Works for me)

JeffC 08-21-2001 12:32 PM

ok, put the radio on hold and buy a servo! You might think the servo you've got now is good enough, but once you get a high speed, high torque, good centering servo, you'll wonder how you survived without. I'd check out HiTec servos as they've got the best warranty in the business. I personnaly use a JR ds8417... .095 speed, 93oz torque, at 4.8v. VERY good servo, metal gear. It was about $100.

Speedo 08-21-2001 03:53 PM

I have a hitec 925 MG BB, and I WOULD NOT recomend it. The servo works OK in off-road, but when I tried it in my TC, with the higher workload, it busted. Basically, it would have alot of trouble finding the corect center. I sent it in, and they got me a new one, but I use a JR 4750 in my TC. Not super fast at .12, and not super torquey, 73 ox inches, but VERy smooth. Also, it is not very expensive. I hear that hitec make some kick butt digi servos though!

AE_Racer 08-21-2001 04:09 PM

what about the Hitec 525 MG BB(I think its BB?)? I asked on rctouring, and Greg replyed and said that one was the best cheap one for touring...

Here are the spec's. vvvvvvvvvv
