- Vorza(lots of aftermarket parts that come from nitro D8? correct?)
-Ve8
- RC8be
- Losi 8EIGHT
- SC10 4x4
- Losi 10 SCTE
So.. I've listed a few options.. There's a few I'm sure I didn't list.. Ofna and Jammin etc.. A few are 1/8 buggies and a couple are 1/10 truck. I'm not opposed to the trucks because they look cool. Are the trucks just as versital with jumping/different terrain? Primarily will be recreational. No racing "yet". I fly electric Heli so I'm familiar with Lipos/ESC's etc. Is it less headache to go with a RTR like the Vorza or to build a kit? I realize RTR's are built in a factory.. So parts might be missing/not built correctly/loctite not applied or applied too much or where it shouldn't be etc. Primarily looking for something with high quality, durability and performance. Thoughts?"
In my opinion The Rc8bE is a stout buggy. but when you talk 1/8 scale vs 1/10 scale the easiest factor to consider is cost. whether it be parts or batteries/electronics.
1/8 scale cost most. most batteries are 3s 4s and more. but they get $$$ QUICK. stick with a 1/10 scale sct if you wanna beefy car and have some cheaper fun. whether is the losi or the AE you cant go wrong
