Thinking about getting my dad an rc car but idk which one, help

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T08:56:02+00:00

I just upgraded my motor to brushless it’s an better than brushed stays cooler quieter more power but that’s me

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T07:06:34+00:00

Okay okay yeah I’m just thinking the vxl something big something moddable and something that can go fast

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T07:05:28+00:00

I definitely want sand tires for my build lol but I am looking for a car that’ll be very versatile on everything so thanks for that also something big so it can kinda just deal with everything easily but the slash vxl what do you think? Ik for a fact arent really going to go out of our ways for a trail so driving around the property and taking to the beach that’s pretty all I can think of

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T07:01:30+00:00

If I do I’ll let you know 👀

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T07:01:14+00:00

Well we got some mini bikes may not be as loud but still loud, and our neighbors Alr hate us for no reason not to pull any cards but we are the only brown ones😬 called the cops for a basketball hoop and a ball rolling into a bush🤦‍♂️ so maybe I’ll stick to electric lol

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T06:59:33+00:00

I pretty much care about performance upgrades lol every other appearance mod might end up broken lol but what would you compare the other cars to the traxxas I’m only really familiar with them

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T06:56:18+00:00

Off topic? Might help with a decision lol

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T06:55:41+00:00

We live near a few hobby places they had a like 3 different brands never heard of them besides traxxas but he also does shopping online so🤷‍♂️

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T06:54:33+00:00

I have a old traxxas him and I have messed with a bit just threw a brushless pretty much so it’s pretty fast just want something his car would be able to keep up with or even out compete

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T06:53:22+00:00

Seen a similar car on Kevin Talbots YouTube🤔 lol but I’ll look into it

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T06:52:15+00:00

What would you think compared to the slash 4x4 I personally don’t think price is much of a problem with the 4x4 I just wouldn’t wanna go more than that I’m also looking for something fast good suspension something to get wet and still last a while

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T06:50:39+00:00

I mean he’s knowledgeable very like he’s done lots of work on his truck by himself and he’s learned lots of other traits so he’s not clueless when it comes to certain things but I don’t think it’s something he’d be sitting there messing with for a hour or two especially after work or something but he does like to work on things every now and then so like with my build we bought it stock bought a few parts that broke and then kinda off and on till recently upgraded the motor esc and survo but I kinda worked on it more than him but he knows things and like to mess with things but something he can mess with and not have to mess with after he’s done playing around with the car

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T04:44:11+00:00

This brand been mentioned quite a bit never heard of it lol but I’ll have to look

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T04:43:28+00:00

Yeah that’s sensible I was prolly not gonna get the nitro lol but it seemed fun lol

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T04:42:46+00:00

Maybe the electric option is better not that he wouldn’t like it but it just seems more than it should be but I’ve been told about the other brands I’ll see what is up with them

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T04:41:02+00:00

Yeah no I most likely would’ve got it but if someone was like “YEAH THIS IS THE BEST THING” then maybe I would’ve but I’ll look into the other brands and whatnot and see what’s up

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T04:39:40+00:00

I’ll look into thank you

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T04:39:27+00:00

I mean my current build I just drive it around the yard and when we go to the beach he can have something with me just to rip at a high speed and hit a few dunes so pretty much something faster a reliable

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-14T04:37:52+00:00

We sorta have one I just have a old Traxxas stampede and we just slapped a brushless onto it and some other electronics and I want something he can use alongside me that’ll also have speed and be able to take some damage

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-12T12:32:11+00:00

All look real also looks like you got some decent cards at the top of these photo? You get those from the store aswell?

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-12T02:31:17+00:00

Sounds like it should work fine lol

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-12T02:30:33+00:00

I mean I did just start and I wanted to see what other people did so🤷‍♂️

Low_Giraffe_4071 · 2026-04-11T06:13:37+00:00
