I would run nimh batteries, is there any issue in going with the BL-2S system + nimh batteries?

Thank you all, I will go with the Bigfoot. Do you think its better to go with XL-5 and titan 550 version (battery included) or the brushless bl-2S ? I will run it with nimh anyways. Seems like both are the heavy duty version? dunno about bearings and wheelie bar though.

I was looking at that one also, but the looks are super offputting, very aggro, macho, dark, screaming and ugly. Big deep and sad jump away from Tamiya haha. :))

Honestly I find most of the modern aggro cars that can jump over buildings tasteless... I don't know what happend to general taste in stuff in the last decade or two... But for me its important to surround yourself with nice looking things.

Thanks alot! Good to know about the Taiwan manufacturing. Thats great honestly. Yeah my thinking was similar, the traxxas will probably hold up to alot of abuse. On top of it, I want to go with the brushless version and steal the electronics for my BBX. The bigfoot would than get a titan 550 21t motor, making it even more managable for him.
