kyosho lazer zx5 RTR durable?

[sirsomrak]

im new in the 4wd buggy class.so was considering the zx5 RTR as first buggy.i'll be using it mostly for bashing on road cuz my neighbourhood lack offroad terrains.but the tamiya durga seem like a tough one too.cant decide. explanation on their maintanence and wear and tear also durability wold be helpfull.i dun wanna break stuff on my first run.expect me to do sillymistakes like bumping on to curbs and parking lot poles.hehe.me quite noob.

I run a zx5 SP and if you're bashing, I'd get a durga

oohh.does kyosho zx5 hav any street tires tat can fit well in their stock wheels? sometin like proline road hawgs

Wheel rim sizes are all much the same, so hawgs will fit if they fit 10th cars, the centre hex and the offset of the hex(or whatever) changes on wheels, so you will need wheels that fit (they may not need to be kyosho on the kyosho).

another vote for the durga

Durga is as tough as old boots.

The ZX5-RTR is a great club car but I'm not sure it'll like being bashed too much. Although that said a few simple and cheap upgrades like ali hinge pin holders will make it as tough as you like too.

I went for the ZX5 RTR as i was going to use it at the local club. Before i started i did a bit of "practice bashing" and it was quite easy to break in places.

I would say zx5 better for using at a club, but if it is for bashing only, you just got vote number 3 for the Durga!

ok the durability part is cleared.durga hands down.but which buggy will hav easier maintanence on their transmission if i were to use a 12 turn motor?thinking of brushless in near future.wen pocket allows.

u said kyosho zx5 will be tough wit cheap upgrade, if then how cheap?? plus zx5 givs evryting(RTR).

ur opinoin wil be vry helpful.still cant decide though.
