I’m from cheras. Hehe. Whats your budget for a new car? What your prefer? On road or offorad?
With a decent budget ~RM700, you can get a decent offroad RTR truck. But if you got less budget than that, you may want to have a look at several other cars
- 1/10 Himoto (buggy, monster truck, truggy). Prices are ~RM399 for a RTR brushed set up. Cars from this brand are decent, but spare parts may be hard to come by. You can find Himoto cars from RCDreamz.
- 1/10 HSP (buggy, monster truck, truggy). Prices from RM350-RM400. Also brushed set up. Price for brushless is @ RM500. But please be warned that with the brushless power, breakages WILL happen a lot more often.For me, I’d stay away from the HSP monster trucks. Suspension geometry does not allow the truck to bottom out, and that transfers the force to the dogbones, and prematurely wearing them out. Spare parts for HSP can be found easily at most hobby shops, but for the cheapest price,you would want to go down to Klang, and find for MyMegaStation.
- There are other choices out there, like the HPI Brama 10B, but the E10 platform its based on, isn’t exactly the best platform out there. Anything more than a mild brushless set up fill melt the gears.
- Then there’s Traxxas. One of the most famous brands for R/C stuff. Prices start from RM800 for a brushed 2WD Slash. Durability wise, I’d say it would be pretty decent, but not unbreakable.
- There may be smaller brands like BSD Racing, HBX, HL, HQ etc, but spare parts will be quite a hassle.
Do let me know if you’ve got more questions. I’d be glad to help you out. Also, if you’ve decided to get what you want, you might want to join me and a few other guys bashing at Kajang. There is an offroad track there too.
Bro, thanks for your kind reply......
I'm from klang, MyMegaStation is just 10minutes from my House only. (1minutes from my sister house only) LOL.
