The Titan motor ain't gonna last very long.Thats what I have read on international forums.

Have you seen those tabletop engines? I love them!! But you're right, those micro rc cars are a ton of fun!!

Hey this is not micro. About 15cm long. What tabletop engines??

Most brushed motors dont last al long as brushless for similar performance i.e speed and accleration.

Check the following link for the tabletop engine. Its just awesome! I don't know if there are youtube videos. But search for it.

15cm long? Isn't that too big for a table?! Unless its a BIG table!

Hey sorry, I did not see this. well I guess its relative. I mean I have some really cheap, really old toy cars that still run fine with some new batteries. Most of these guys shred their cars to bits and generally abuse it a lot. But I will be running it with love At least for the first few metres

Congrats on the new purchase, well deserved. Hope to see you racing at the next RCINC>

Tassem, just get a Mini E-Revo! If you don't plan on racing it, ofcourse..
That thing is a BEAST!

Nobody in my family likes to take photos, and they don't know how to operate my camera properly! 

Thanks Siddharth.. Will surely take part as long as its in Bangalore!

I've read good things about the mini e-revo.. But I don't want to spend so much at this point. Hence the interest in the Slash 2WD. But lets see. I always go with one plan and come with another

Brushed motor need change of brushes from time to time, which most guys are not aware of, so the motor looses its grunt, and people throw it away.

as far as electrics go, iam looking at the vorza. its pretty costly. regarding my future plans, i have to either go with the vorza or the baja. i love both of these things!

VORZA! Just my personal opinion 
You see, Gandhar and I are trying to convert everyone to electric!

So. my Slash had my 1st crash today..
Came off a TINY jump, while gunning the throttle and steering at the same time Cartwheeled a couple of times, and rolled over like 5.. WORST MISTAKE EVER! Had to learn the hard way.. 

Fortunately, nothing broke! 
I LOVE this car..

Also got my first scratches on my body..

Congrats!! I wish you many more to come

About the car, I'm reading up on the Mini Savage and Savage Nano.. Very interesting. But the nano seems to be a rebadged minizilla. Not that its a bad car. If the price is right, I'd love it!

The slash is doing what it does best.Survive.

Yeah, I wanna see the Mini Savage too! IF it can live upto the savage name, it'll be Awesome!

Trust me, a LOT more to come!

Hey that's exactly what i've been thinking as well ! A nitro is awesome at the track, but because of the sound you cant run it as and when you feel like it. And with me, i want to run my car as much as possible. This is where an electric is useful. But then again i dont want to spend 25k, lets see if anyone puts up a good used Slash 4x4 for sale 

 @Divyam: Congrats on the scratches  but i think with your body colour it wont really be very visible 

Yea.. If anything, it probably looks more authentic 
TBH, you don't have to spend 25k.. If you don't plan on racing, a LOT of good, cheap, electric cars are available!

I've got this formula one car from a brand called Carisma that I had modified with bigger wheels and tyres for use on bad roads. I haven't used it for a few years now cause I lost the battery tray that used to sit inside the Tx. I remember it to be quite fast but it used to spin out a lot after the bigger wheels.

Guess will dedicate this weekend to getting it back on the road. If i cant find a tray anywhere, I guess I'll solder a rechargeable battery pack to the Tx or something along those lines.

Fingers crossed!

I dont think i'll be racing. Revo satisfies all my needs for racing   just to play around near my house, on the road etc without disturbing anyone. Nothing serious

Just get a mini e revo or a mini slash.(vxl)

@Tassem: All the best  for your restoration

The mini e-revo is stupidly fast, not much fun IMHO. Slash 1/16th is pretty good. 1/16th scale is ideal for my needs, i guess a 1/10th would be too big. How good is the rustler 2wd vxl brushless ? Anyway, if i buy one its only after exams so i have time till may 15th to decide 

The Revo is only Stupidly fast if you put LiPos in it.. Otherwise, it'ss be just fine.. And, whenever you want, install a LiPo, and you do standstill backflips!
The Slash 1/16 is based off of the same chassis.. So, if you don't like the Mini Revo, you won't like the Mini Slash.. Anyway, all the best for your exams! 

Thanks  That's why i was looking at the used Slash 4x4 option. Hopefully by May end someone will feel like giving their Slash away

Its mot that easy for someone to let their Slash go! 

Used Slash's do come up every now and then. And the price is really attractive too (10-13k). That's my plan too

There is a rustler VLX being sold on the forum for 10k.
