Short course cars?

[martylaa]

Are they any good for a general basher, dirt tracks, garden, street etc?
Or should i look for another type of rc car?

I have to be honest i am not the biggest fan of short course trucks, but they are very easy to drive and a lot of fun, especially if there is a few of you to have a bash about.

yes i think they are a lot tougher than most rcs and good fun . look good and work on or off road. awsome machines. aspecially the new hpi mini trophy truck rtr . real good basher and seems to go well on track . looks coooool to

I'm not really a fan since they are pretty compromised as a race car by the rules and it's costing support of the Stadium Truck class which is historically how it should be Buggy/Stadium truck/4wd buggy. But despite what I think they are huge in the States so there's no stopping them now. Going fast almost always comes at a cost and so the quicker ones will also likely break in bashing duties. HPI seem to be able to make cars that are almost race worthy at the same time as being the best bashers so for you that's probably the one you want (The Blitz), I saw your other thread and came to that conclusion since you may want to race one day and in the mean time bash it and really that's the one for the job. The Slash handles badly AND breaks if you bash it, it's got a reputation for being strong but really once you get a decent amount of power in it you can bend them up pretty easy

I really hoped this would not turn into a what car thread!!!!

Thats why i did not mention the Kyosho Ultima SC truck.

Dude make up your own mind.

I had a short course truck and I really did NOT like the fact that it sucked when airborne pretty much every time it was windy. And it seemed like it always was.
