I posted 'other' as my favourite is Hobbyzone because it got me started into rc, providing me with a lot of fun with the mini mauler

I said HPI and tamiya as they are the most reliable brands i have owned, my worst vechile is definaltly my LST. it's falling apart and is like a brick on wheels.

Is your LST really that bad, i always thourght they were pretty solid trucks.

Graham · « **Reply #28 on:** February 12, 2006, 10:03:41 PM »

No there not, there big heavy peices of rubish. I doubt the LST2 is much better either. stay clear of them, im now after a havoc or a savageX.

If you hate working on a truck, then stear clear of the Savvy mate, they're a killer!!

I hate mine at times.

I dont really mind working on my trucks but my LST is just very unreliable, you fix it up and the next time you take it out something else has gone on it. It's basically a to heavier truck for the conponents. The savage X looks like it's much easier to work on from the blog on the HPI website, the radio box has been inproved, gearbox can be removed with out splitting chassis and the diffs come out easy, but i know were your coming from about the orignal savage design. its

i went for traxxas and HoBao,

my Traxxas Sport-Maxx i have had for over 3 years now and has not missed a beat

and i reacently got my HoBao touring car (GPX4 with STS .12 race engine) which cost me as much as i would pay if i was just going into RC and is unbelievebly quick and well-balanced and the most reliable car i have.

hpi and hot bodies i voted as i love my savage and hop ups from hot bodies for the savage..i used to have a sport maxx which after a while upgraded it to the tmaxx and tbh i wouldnt vote traxxas (not for any bad reason ) just having a savage i love it

cant wait to upgrade to the ss x kit as my son is going to have my 4.6 ss

No...Captain Chunk! · « **Reply #35 on:** March 12, 2007, 05:51:57 AM »

I nearly put Tamiya, these were my first KIT RC (Fighter Buggy FX) I put Other (Tyco RC! we've all had 'em

) it was my 6 wheeled Scorcher that got me hooked, Skid steering, Lightening Fast and Ultra cool styling lol, and HPI. On me Second Sav now (went from the 25 to the X)

scoobster · « **Reply #36 on:** March 16, 2007, 11:05:03 PM »

I'm a big Kyosho Lazer and Schumacher Cat fan so i voted for those 2

rcman666 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 25, 2007, 06:27:26 AM »

Schumacher is the only one i know but they make some gd on and off roaders

chris harte · « **Reply #38 on:** June 12, 2007, 09:33:59 PM »

I went for every type of brand because I like them all for different things.
HPI for the stylish SAV
Tamiya for bashing round
Schumacer for tyres
Sportswrecks for good deals
Traxxas for there old school style
Associated for the buggies and stadium trucks.

i must agree with you about the lst. i break it every time i take it out
but my sav is almost indestructible occasionally breaks a dog bone on some of the bad landings. ive got the old style savage. the only thing i don't like is the breaks if you put a high tourqe servo on there it can pull the screw out the treads in the breaks i think that bis should be metal where it screws in.

ASSOCIATED all the way for me

FG is missing from the list. They may only make only 2/3 cars but they are well built. Pity they havent continued with further products.

pperini · « **Reply #47 on:** March 12, 2008, 03:06:01 PM »

i voted for HPI because i belive it to be the best brand out there with a kit to every need and budget, they look great, they re reliable as wood burning stoves, relatively cheap and my first, and still my only RC is a MT2 .15............naturaly as a second option i would vote for Hotbodies, but since they are HPI, i spared a vote......HPIs, great rides...........second was Traxxas, i don really know why i voted for it, but i hear lots of good things about it and any of my friends Traxx has ever broke down, so i guess they are good, i would buy one if i ever wanted to buy another brand, but i dont!!!.....ill stick with HPI....

Evilpob · « **Reply #48 on:** March 14, 2008, 04:39:24 PM »
