    I moved to deans from bananananana plugs and the only issue I have with them is sometimes you have to pull on the wire to get them apart, rather than the plastic casing. And that can stress the wire/ joint/ heatshrink. I just think they should make them longer so you can get hold of them properly

    Thanks for your input guys, and for the invite RM, I'll def get my toys to Cider Bashers next event if it isn't raining! I think I'm gonna plump for the E-maxx, cos I can pick one up for under 150, and can sling a brushless in it when I have a few more 's.

    The Savage is really tempting, but I live in a 2 bed flat and my misses gets annoyed at tripping over nitro fuel :)

    And James I had a HPI 5b, but found it to be a little bit too slow (I know you can spend big $ on them...) after the manic brushless and nitro stuff I had. Plus my misses kept tripping over that too, cos it's huge!

    Maybe you should also consider waiting for the DF03RA if you want a rally car. Sounds like something capable, it has a buggy background, and what a buggy

    I'm pretty excited about that- I love rally cars, but no-one really does an off-the-shelf capable one anymore.

    Gonna think over the next few days, then get the cash out!

    Cheers all,

    Ryan

    I do think that Traxxas make good bashers, but I had a standard E-maxx and wasn't that impressed, especially after the Savage. But don't wanna splash out on loads of sooooper dooooper cells or brushless... [Can't afford it!] Dunno if the good ole standard 'E' will be enough for me?

    Think I'm gonna have to look at a Savage.

    Sirandy, is the Slash that good? I've heard good things about the Firestorm too. Might just put a 10t in a Madbull and see how long it lasts :lol:

    Hi guys and girls- just want a little advice really. I want a car for bashing, and just not sure what to go for. Doesn't have to be Tamiya (shock/ horror!)

    I miss my Savage, but not sure I want the nitro/ aggro again

    Fancy a rally car, but I think a truck would suit me better. Bassically something that doesn't need too much maintainance, will go off-road, keep a smile on my face...

    So thoughts please.

    Cheers

    Poss cars are:

    Revo

    E-Revo (bit pricey, don't really wanna invest in that many batteries!)

    Savage

    Tamiya based rallye car [Love the old Delta]

    Something vintage like a Ford Ranger (not enough ablility?)

    Stampede

    Anything I've not thought of? I don't really like buggies....

    I'd really like to come to this.

    I only have Tamiya electrics but I do also have an enthusiastic 8 year old who loves nothing better than running around righting upturned cars (bribed with McDonalds)

    Are kids allowed or should I leave him at home to paint the garden fence?

    I'll buy him a McD's to follow mine about and turn it up the right way!!

    Pics would help. I often find the best way is to look for "completed listings" on ebay. Ie what people have actually paid recently for simular items.

    Buy your kids another model though, like a TT-01 if you want a touring car.

    Take him to the small claims court. Pay a top solicitor and MAKE him take it back! Or just put it down to experience and get over it. I'm not being nasty, but I have found in this hobby you win some, and you lose some.

    Take the moral high ground and fix up how you want it, or sell it on as it is. Crying over spilt milk an all that.

    Mind you I want a cigarette and hate evryone at the moment, so what do I know?! :D

    Peace.
