So many choices, need help!
 
So, i havent been here in a while...weird :p haha.

Any was I have a Traxxas Tmaxx 2.5 chassis with a 3.3 in it cuz the 2.5 blew up :lol: . I love this thing and use it and slam it a bunch but im looking for a good street car thats electric so i dont have to tune it all the time. I love drifting so this is one ive found--http://www.nitrorcx.com/newexrc35drs.html-- and i was wondering if this was a good deal or if anyone knows of good electric street cars for a reasonable price like this one

Drifting or not

All comments, of course. And thanks in advance!

EDIT: found this - https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/it...oduct-id=58451 - but cant find really anything about the actual chassis any one no anything? im new to electrics so not to much slang haha thanks again!

it would be a good deal if you never broke any parts, but since you're probably a harder driver than your grandma i'd suggest a more name-brand model because replacement part availability is better.

for a start, i suggest an HPI Sprint 2, Hot Bodies Cyclone, tamiya tt01, or Yokomo MR-4TC SD. the cheapest is the tamiya, next up is the hot-bodies and HPI as about even, while the yokomo is on the expensive end. belt drive is also less durable for street driving, but if taken care of, you shouldn't have any issues with pebbles cutting into the drive belts.

Team associated 18R is pretty awesome, and pretty fast for rtr.
amainhobbies.com is pretty reasonable. you should check em out.

umm
rule #1: nitrorcx =crap no matter what

for drifting, get something similar to a tamiya tt01 or a hpi sprint 2

for off-road, get something like a rustler or stampede(or slash),

for monster trucks, get an e-maxx(or t maxx) or a savage(or savage flux)

those are all great basher r/c's

TT-01 hands down. I just got mine running today. I think it drifts excellent with my suspension set-up. I'm running the Stock Silver Can motor and TE-101BK ESC. Although I did bend the camber arms, its bulletproof.

if your looking for a track car i'd say tamiya ta-05, it it set up ti e a very good track car unlike the tt-01 the ta-05 is belt driven. from what i've heard the tt-01 is a good beginners track car but the ta-05 will blow it away proformance wise
