Title: Mini rc car
Post by: rajathv8 on August 21, 2011, 09:53:47 PM
Hello,
I am looking for a USED mini rc car - 1/16th to 1/18th scale. Preferably a mini-erevo or mini-summit as i want it to be water proof. Please let me know if anyone is selling a mini RC :)

Yup going to give it a try for indoor use and easy mobility :) Sparrowhawk for weekends :) Divyam and Gandhar : Check the summit 1/16 brushed and let me know what you feel. I like it better than the e-revo because of the ground clearance. Slash mini has bad reviews - too much roll.
I want a water proof RC this time and only TRX offers affordable ones as far as i know. Will patiently wait for a second hand :)
Should check with sid if they offer a radio buyback option.
Going for brushed because it is going to be used indoor - dont want a brushless motor clogging up at low speed. The Sparrowhawk is too dangerous indoors :D

Hey sorry have been kinda inactive on the forum because of studies :)
Even I wanted to get 1 mini. Great for portability. Can carry it out of station whenever I want :D
Maybe in the next year I get a Mini Summit! :D
Summit has better CG, but that obviously means more rollovers. But it looks to be more Fun too! :)

The Losi mini 8ight (http://losi.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOSB0224) ( Which should have been called the 4teen according to me) would make for a good choice. You might want to have a word with Kapil...

Rajat has already mentioned that he does not want a car from HK.

Thanks Gandhar :)
A hk truck is nowhere as durable as TRX or HPI or any other brand. I want a bash worthy truck so HK is a definate no no. Presence of TX-RX will cause problems with customs as well.
The losi mini is superb. Comes with aluminum chassis! Brushless and all. But it will not do well on rough terrain. I love the buggy look and features though.

Hi Raj and Gandhar,
Sorry for skipping the blog about HK :headscratch:
But I suggested HK because you was asking for Old, and in HK you can get new @ the cost of old in india.
2 Weeks ago I have ordered that Tx Rx and no issue with custom. (may me I am lucky one)
These Trucks also comming in Brushless, and metel parts and may be body ( but very cheap in price)
and these Truck or Buggy is not HK production (I suppose) it is Turnigy Production ( know and trustable brand for Battries, Chargers, ESC, Brushless Motors etc) (Please correct me ppl in blog)
Check out HK new introduced Buggy few weeks back (:|~.

All RC vehicles move , but for how long they stay out of trouble is an entirely different question. :) I dont ming getting a second hand truck as long its durable.
The XS thread on URC has many many posts about TRX mini owners having trouble with their minis. So guess i will wait for the XS to come to India. I absolutely love the XS :) I will wait for reviews and issues to show up.
Ghandhar thanks for the warning about TRX minis :)

Unfortunately the person who was supplying decided to stop the hobby business. You can source from Hobbyking. Same build.
