Electric On/off Road RC car?
Thinking about getting my self an electric rc car to race in Vegas and to take out to the desert here in Southern Utah. I use to race gas years ago in miami, But i think i want electric now. Anyone know of any good, fast, on road off road, electric RC cars out there? (preferably not a big old monster truck, i like them some what sleek.) Thanks
If you want true speed from an electric RC car, you will need brushless.
You havent mentioned your price range, so i'll give you a spread;

Is probably about the minimum for a decent branded brushless RTR.
However, you can pay upto; http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=32873 (A british site, i know, but an american company.)
Finally, you could always buy a standard cheapy brushed model, and upgrade it, say;

Problem with the last being that if a model was running a brushed motor, the drive train probably isn't built to handle a brushless power source.
If you can be convince back to nitro, get ahttp://www.hobao-racing.com/products/hyper7TQ28/hyper7TQ28.php
Brilliant car.
