19,000 is way too much since you can get a NEW Rustler VXL for 21,000..
Ask him to reduce the price..

Check traxxas.in

Also,the bandit won't have continuous parts support as its not carried by Traxxas India.If you break something,the dealer will have to order it specifically.

Hey its too much for a rusty. I would say 14k max. If you pay anything more you rather get a slash 2nd hand. @19k a new rusty is a better bet.

I feel 21k for a new rusty is costly considering slash is @25. A much much bigger monster than the 2wd rusty.

Kaps please check the model thoroughly before buying. Let me know if i can be of any help. Are you a newbie?

Under Rs.10,000,you probably aren't going to get a completely hobby grade car for your nephews.

What do you plan to do with your car?

if its not racing then i would suggest a ST II instead of a BX II

it would take the beating a little better. but two problem you are likely to face are:

1. as iamahuman stated. small jumps tend to blow ur shock caps loose. and ur oil will leak out a lot.
2. since its 2WD its not exactly great on dirt and all.

TT shocks leak too much. Mine popped today, banged into a rock at speed. Its ok if you dont mind fixing it - i dont.
It is better to get a slash 2wd - even if second hand.

Yes, on the lower end TT cars, the parts break VERY easily..

Try and get a Traxxas or HPI.. In my experience, Traxxas is very durable.. Dunno about HPI though..

No Carson in India.There was a guy who used to deal with Kyosho parts but I doubt if he is doing it now.
