XV-01, XV-01T & VX-02RS Pro Advice, please!

[Grumpy pants]

A bit of sage advice required here please - 

I’ve have the XV-01 which I’ve recently started running and I’m really enjoying, I have the XV-01T to rebuild as I don’t have a stadium truck and I would really like to buy, build and run a XV-02RS Pro. 

But owning, maintaining and running 3 is unrealistic in my world. 

My wife is happy to buy the RS pro for my birthday next month and if July 1st goes to plan there is a 50/50 chance on me buying an Arrma Mojave 4s. 

What would you do?

The right answer is of course enjoy what I have and put the XV-01T back together 😂

The obvious and biased answer from me is to get the XV-02 RS Pro if it still is cheap while the wife think it's a good idea. As you know I have both XV and I love them all. But the future belongs to the XV-02. It is also far simpler to wrench on and if you would like to run on the loose stuff it is also less prone to gave downtime. That said my two 01 have been super reliable, apart from when I trusted the old gearbox internals when I converted to brushless. 

 

Then the question is how hard you want that Arrma..

I really like the desert racing truck style and the way they appear to handle. 

Arrma seem to be a decent quality brand and the 4S is as much speed as I’ll ever need, figured it would be great for the woods near where I live or to take to the beach occasionally.

@Grumpy pants I completely agree with your own answer. 🙂

Can’t wait to run my Losi Baja rey raptor against your 4 S mojave.  At the sand pit.

How unrealistic are we talking?  Unicorns and dragons coming to life?  Anything less than that is probably fine. 

Honestly, they are a similar chassis but you want them for 3 different purposes.  Nothing wrong with that.
