which RTR for beginner?

[ajg2703]

RC10T3
Traxxas Rustler RTR
Traxxas E-Maxx RTR
Traxxas Bandit RTR

These are what i am considering as a beginner for a first rc....which is fastest and most reliable, and most upgradable?

[krayzie]

All 4 are very good. I have all 3 of the traxxas ones and I have upgraded the bandit and rustler a lot and I just got the E-MAXX and it is great. Any of those would be a good choice. The E-MAXX is probably the fastest in stock form but the t3 is the most upgradable.

the t3 is faster?

Well I don`t know too much about these brands, but I read that Traxxas E-Maxx RTR is a great truck, and my son seems to think it`s the greatest thing on four wheels, So I guess it depends on how much you want to spend and what your looking for performance wise.
I hope I could be of some help. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

The RTR T3 is the only way to go. It has the most real potential and will get you furthest no matter what you do.

[rc10gt_bb]

it depends on what you want to do. T3 for racing
E-Max for bashing. But some places might race those.

You can't go wrong with any of these, but I would personally recommend the TRAXXAS stampede (not one of your choices) it's extremely durable, pretty fast, hop ups are widey available and you can order one RTR w/ESC and slipper clutch for under 200 bucks. Of course the same can be said for the rustler, but I prefer the go anywhere abilities of monster trucks. (and jumping!)

[timesheet]

That would be WIDELY not widey. Yes I've heard of spelcheck. DOH!

It depends. If you are just starting out and need somthing to use to get used i would get a rustler or a bandit. If you want to race and spend a little more money then the t3. If you want to spend lots and want big four wheel drive truck the e max but i have heard the e max ***** up battery run time.

[speedemon]

that ***** is for bucks expt with an s at the front it thinks it a bad word or somthing

[RCJunkie]

If you plan to race the T3 is fastest. For a beginner I would probably go with the Rustler. Its a great truck and is simple to work on and is upgradable Also it is VERY tough which is a good thing for a beginner.

The Rustler isn't but a few seconds behind the T3. The T3 is more for racing but if you want to have a great time with your RC I would go with the Rustler.. The parts are in cheaper so you don't drain your pockets and if you set it right you can get the speed you would get out of a T3.
