HSP= No. Off brands mean there is no good support. The plastics on these things can be unpredictable. They are hit and miss but most of the times, it's a miss....
Iamahuman thanks for your review, have you any experiance with HSP ?
What is Hit and Miss ? ???
Price is also less :-\, may be thats why quality is also not that much good,
Traxxas cost around 30+ Nitro for (1/10) :headscratch:, where it is just 10+ (:|~
I am also in favor of Traxxas (:|~ but as of now it is realy out of my budjet :banghead:
Dear Viewers, you are welcome to tell me whether you like any model or not ?
You can specify Model and Like/DisLike ... :hatsoff:
Dont bother with hsp. I know several cars in junk shape. No further comments.
Invest in a brand that has spares and customer support if not in India, atleast globally. Expensive brands are not just priced high for the quality. They have several spares dealers, excellent email and phone support. Traxxas has the best support, Hpi comes next. My Mugens cost way higher than most Traxxas or Hpi, but support is weak. But I can pardon that since Mugens are mostly used by intermediate to experts and quality and build is great.
Hsp has neither. Nice brand for a naive newbie to get frustrated and leave rc.
I there,
I would complete agree to all the comments and feedback from others about the brand and support and stuff but I will also like to say that for the budget what you are looking at, HSP is a good deal as I personally have been using HSP Warhead buggy - http://www.helipal.com/hsp-warhead-off-road-buggy-1-10-purple-green-flame-nitro-edition.html (http://hsp%20warhead%20buggy%20-%20http://www.helipal.com/hsp-warhead-off-road-buggy-1-10-purple-green-flame-nitro-edition.html) 1/10 scale since last 3 years and have had no big problems till now.
The problem I had was when I lost the dogbones, I had to get is shipped from china but other then that, its definitely a good 1/10 nitro car to start off with.
NOTE: This buggy or any HSP car cannot be used for racing, you can use them for practice, bashing or fun riding simply because the engines are not made for pro-racing.
CHEERS..........
:hatsoff:
A good brand with good support will cost you not less than 20k in India. Some of the Car Brands in India are Ofna Jammin Hongnor, Traxxas, Thunder Tiger, HPI & Losi.. Only these guys offer good support. Buying a car may be easy, It is the support that always matters.
You may break a part that is only USD$2, the shipping cost for it will be not less than $15.. If you want it within 5 days then the shipping cost is USD$30 (Minimum)
If you budget is super low then go for Thunder Tiger, Keep in mind, you will be spending a lot of money on spares..
I have a customer who has a fleet of HSP models - He ends up working on the car more than driving.
Dharmesh (Dst161) - I would say you were the lucky one.. I have seen people feel so bad that made a bad investment on Chinese models even though its cheap..
I agree to you Murali and yes I could be one of those lucky once having no issue till now atleast with the HSP.
I also agree with you about good brand and support for spares.
But again, if u read, I also did mention that HSP is for time pass and learning rather than serious racing.....
CHEERS to RC Culture......
