I am looking to get a new electric buggy but I am unsure on what to look for on the 2nd hand market. Any and all advice and reccomendations are appreciated.
RC background;
HPI MT2 ‐ I rebuilt an old mt2 engine and enjoyed it driving around grass fields.
HSP Warhead - First new nitro, I constantly go through dog bones, stripped gears and burnt out clutches to the point I dont use it anymore.
FTX Khaos - First electric car, within 4 months I have broken almost all the parts other than the diffs and replaced them and ive put this one to bed since it breaks something different each outing.
Arrma Infraction v2 6s- First on road car, absolutely love this car, the only issues ive had was the stock servos dying over time which ive replaced. This is the only car ive not had a mechanical breakdown with despite crashes which would of broken any of my previous or current cars.
Where I drive:
- tarmac roads
- grass fields
- dirt bike tracks
- skate parks
- considering local hobby tracks (santapod, uk)
What im looking for:
- 1/8 scale
- good for bashing
- potential to be somewhat successful on astro/dirt tracks
- 3s / 6s since I have a collection of 3s and 6s batteries
- parts availability (uk)
- Budget of £400 (mainly looking at 2nd hand)
I have been impressed by the arrma taking 50+ mph crashes, skate park bashing and big jumps/drops without issue and expect similar reliability from my next purchase. I have been looking at arrma mojave, typhon and typhon tlr however im not sure if I should go for the 3s or 6s versions. Should I consider 4s or other brands? Ive seen some kiosho neo 3.0 and mp10e in my price range.
