hurm i'll prefer off road...its just same with my rm 80 monster truck if can only play 5-10 minutes..so what is the different for rm 400 EP AND with mine RM 80 TRUCK other than speed??

Upgradability, durability.

You CANNOT upgrade a toy grade. If anything breaks, then you have to throw it away. On a hobby grade, if one part breaks, you still can look for spare parts. Also, some cars have the option of aftermarket parts.

hurmm ok ...thanks for ur reply sifu....gonna start survey my 1st EP set...huhuhuhu

I newbie oni la

other people more pro than me.

first of all

BRUSHED OR BRUSHLESS - start with brushed motor jz so u can familiar with the speed and orientation. once u can control, u may upgrade later.
NITRO OR EP - EP for start cz easier to maintain. Nitro u will need alot of tuning and harder to maintain.

friendly advice: avoid HSP brand if u may cz this brand not so tough. get this instead if u serious in this hobby.

better yet, make survey online on available brand that suit ur budget:

MyRC Station
RC Dreamz
rcsmart
DRC Toys
MyMegaStation
FGM Toys

jz my 2 cent.

Brushed = Slower = Easier to drive
Brushless = Faster = Needs more concentration
Nitro = ??? = Requires tuning. Unless you have friends who play nitro with you, you're better off with electric power ones.

Depending on where you are from, pick a car that you feel comfortable with. IF you want to buy a HSP, buy a brushed one, and maintain it from there. Converting to brushless would only mean more breakages. I've had my fair share of breakages with HSP, that I dare say I've sort of given up on HSP already. Spare parts for HSP also isn't very cheap. As an alternative, you can try the Himoto Katana from RCDreamz, brushed one for about RM370. But be warned, as there has been user complaining that the dogbones has a tendency to come off on their own. Upgrading to CVDs would solve this, but I am not aware of any CVDs for the Himoto yet.

Also, you will need a good charger to charge your batteries. I would suggest the iMax B6 as a good starting point.

Hehe. Poison

i've already mae the payment for it (my mega station)...i think im not so serious just wanna have it for fun and for collections...myabe im gonna 'spam' this thread searching for spare parts...huhu

hohohoho after getting my pro bronto....need to play with 'kesopanan dan kesusilaan'

You will need to stock up on spur and pinion gears, a-arms, bodyshells, tires, hinge pins.

also, a new servo if your budget allows. stock one is lousy.

ok...so which part is a must...where shud i order those parts u told....how much will it cost me??

Pro Bronto, i tot u made the payment for the Slash 2WD.

yup pro bronto....thats why have to play with kesopanan ahhhaaa

Parts, you can check for the manual, and megastation carries most of the parts, albeit a bit more expensive.

being a brushless, it is highly recommended to upgrade to lipo batteries and a balance charger. the stock nimh just wont cut it. do let me know if you need any lipo batteries.

In fact, if you need any upgrades, from motor, ESC, servo, batteries, receiver etc, drop me a PM. i can sort things out for you

update : my bronto (or what it used to be) had a bad attitude. it kept bending rear dogbones. and the front steering knuckles wear out bloody fast as well. just some things to keep note of. the dogbones issue is caused by the fact that the suspension does not full bottom out when the suspension is fully compressed, thus straining the dogbones in the cups. also, be careful if you plan to upgrade to CVDs, as I have somehow managed to snap BOTH in half.

another update : do NOT upgrade to aluminum unless of utmost importance. shock has to be transferred to the weakest spot, and HSP aluminum is CRAP. keep it in stock plastic form to be safe.

important update : depending on where you play, you will want to seal up the pinion and spur cover with blu-tak, or else sand will eat up your pinion gear like mad. i've experienced this before countless times. silly HSP

I know I wouldn't

A lot of upgrades needed to bulletproof the Slash, especially the 2WD model.

ok thanks....will get back to u if i need anything heheh thanks

Try not to sink too much time and money into HSP. It wont end good. Get a decent car as a long term project car.

I'm very happy with my Turnigy at the moment, and will be testing out my new 3S pack this weekend.
