DARK IMPACT or GRAVEL HOUND???

Recommended Posts

I  have narrowed my choice down to a Gravel Hound or Dark Impact for thrashing around, Would the DI be worth the extra cash??? £83 or £105 at Fusion Hobbies.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Also it looks like the DI is much smaller than the Hound,is that the case?

I've got no experience of the Hound, but I love my DI for thrashing.

In standard trim it does everything I ask of it, and it's a very

involving build.  Also comes with a full ball bearing kit included

(apart from 4 steering bearings, metal bushes supplied instead, IIRC)

but I don't think the Hound does. So if you ball-race your Hound,

you've already spent the difference.

People are now starting to

take the DI seriously, there are some awesome hop-ups out there, and I

think some people are actually starting to compete with them. 

How's that - a competitive modern Tamiya buggy!!

I am tempted to look out for a DI at Xmas time.

Been looking/drooling at brushless kits..[6]

well i have both (greedy me lol) in wheel base there is very little difference but in body size the di is alot smaller as is the chassis foot print so less to snag up in grass but the gravel hound seems much stronger hope this helps

I have been racing my Dark Impact at an indoor club, and not managed to break anything yet even after some hard impacts (excuse the pun) [6]

I have a Gravel Hound. Love it to pieces. It does every thing I want it to do perfectly.

If I were buying now: Dark Impact.
