Outlawed Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 well the stock trucks are nothing like the mod chassised monsters you can build up. Crawford Performance Engineering, ZRP and Thunder Tech Racing are probably the most well known mod clod chassis's. still need body, electronics and clod axles/wheels/tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdsFly Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 but the chassis they use for racing come from CPE (crafordperformanceengineering.com) and they have upgraded shocks, steering servos and I've seen a lot with dual castle mamba max pro systmes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hopkins Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Or as I and Nick mentioned teh Chassis come from Thunder Tech Racing Or ZRP, CPE stuff is ok, but not as good as it was 4 years ago. Josh got a ZRP diablo and once he found the "sweet spot" he won a couple of rounds of racing in a day, something(sorry Josh) had struggled to do in a in other races he did in a day with a newly engineered chassis. From my races i watched josh he went from the guy to look out for to the guy who had the winning truck in his hands and you better pray that he messes up because thats the only way to beat him guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot4x4 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I need some advice... what is the best basher to start getting into nirto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hopkins Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Nitro= STAY AWAY, BURN IT WITH FIRE Its the BIGGEST hassle in the world, so frinkin finicky 25 dollars for a gallon of nitro for a little noise/ smell. Oh not to mention the stupid runaways or failsafe failures, god im glad i dont run mine anymore. Get a electric or if you have the money a GAS powered car such as the Baja 5b, though you gotta look out for fakes you can find great deals now since a lot of 5b owners are selling theres to get losi 4x4 ones. Gas > Nitro actually EVERYTHING > Nitro. Theres a reason why the nitro class of cars are dying out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtracer9 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I need some advice... what is the best basher to start getting into nirto? traxxas seems to be the toughest RTR trucks around.. ive beat the hell outta my slash racing and bashing for 3 years and havent had anything break. i even put a novak 5.5 brushless system in it and bashed it like i stole it!! the body is pretty rough but the truck itself is solid..

JDeezie82 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I've always had electric. Only had a nitro for about 2 weeks. Had a Traxxas Nitro 4Tec but managed to nail a manhole with it and ko the frame. Sold it because I didn't feel like putting in anymore money or maintenance that comes with a nitro car. Also, if anyone might be interested, I'm thinking of selling my E-Maxx I've had since 2006. Has over $1000 invested in it, just never mess with it anymore. Message me if you're interested.
