Hello all. I’m about to buy my first Raider. My problem is which one?
I am NOT going to race. Just backyard run on grass, dirt and wood chips. I wear glasses and can’t see a real long ways so I don’t think I need super fast but don’t want to get something I have to upgrade or replace in three months.
The brushless one seems great but as I am a newbie, and it is pretty expensive I’m scared to over spend.
The XL Mega seems nice but share a lot of the same specs as the lowest one.
The base line seems okay but nervous if it is a crud Mobile. My RC experience up to this point is a WLToys 12428.
Any advice which model I should get?
Thanks!
I went with the brushless. So far she is really sweet. eBay ad says it was new... uh, no, but not is BAD shape. So I have already Teflon tape and refilled shocks with oil. Tires are really worn so I'm looking for off road tires now. Probably aluminum shocks. But sweet as pie so far!
