If I'm not mistaken, you said you had one for yourself? :headscratch:

Eitherway, I wouldn't suggest the trooper. Support is going to be an issue once you start breaking parts. No doubt its cheap and parts are cheap. ordering them from HK time after time won't be feasible...

No offence meant with this question but why would you want a trooper when you have a baja 5T?

lol..no.
My tomahawk has done over 3 gallons now, and is in a process of heavy modding at the moment (with some slash parts). Moreover my car has been crashed 2-3 times so is quite messed up and needed some serious repairs.
Himanks' also bought the car at the same moment with me, but hast used it much, and has done only 200-300ml of fuel on his car, and so his car is pretty much like new at the moment and bone stock.
I'll be back.

Those HK knockoffs look like they can accept Associated rc18 parts. I am planning to order one for my son to just bash. He is getting old to drive rc. At about 70$ you can't go wrong. HK says parts are coming.

Finally decided to go and buy TT Sparrowhawk XT from Modelart for 13.5k. Is there any advice that anyone would like to give?

Why don't you go for a 'XXT' which is brushless?

iamahuman

I second ANTA's suggestion. For Rs. 15,000, you can get the XXT. Batteries and charger not included in the price

I finally bought the TT sparrowhawk XT , i didnt buy the xxt because firstly my budget was raised from 8000 to 10000 and then to 13000 so my dad was very angry !!! so if i again ask him to increase the amount he will go mad with me and then he wont buy me anything. but thats OK , ill later upgrade it to brushless system.Moreover i am a newbie and i was quite surprised by the power that the xt had.
Thnks Evreyone who all tried to help me.  :hatsoff:  :hatsoff:  :hatsoff:  :bow:  :bow:  :bow:  :salute:

The 8.4V packs are 7- cell NiMH packs. The 7.4V packs are 2s lipo packs. What is your budget?

You can post in the wanted section. You should be able to find a few used packs.
