I want to get my son a nice offroad RC car for Christmas. I tried last Christmas going in blind on knowledge, but regardless everyone sold out quick. Looks like the lithium cars have caught up to the speed and performance of the little gas powered RC's? Anyone have any experience with any of the lithium ones on Amazon? I need this thing to ride on dirt, sand and go over small sticks and so forth. (we will be using it mainly at the wooded parks and hunting lease). Will $200 get me anything good? Thanks in advance.

I would recommend the Traxxas Slash or Stampede. We have both and the kids and I enjoy them. They can take quite the abuse and parts are readily available. You're looking at least $300.Originally posted by Man View PostComment

If you'd rather spend more om the front end but less on parts and maintenance get a traxxas maxx.
Parts break on these things. There will be down time and fixes that have to be made.
The maxx is the most reliable most dependable out if the box....period. your upfront cost is more but you'll eventually spend more fixing the arrma's.

I used to run a RC18 with lipo batteries. Fun little cars to run around the street and parking lots.Comment

The maxx is nice but pricey. I've considered buying one for the boys this Christmas.Originally posted by JBJTX81 View PostComment

WE use to run the Sprint cars. Had multiple of them and would race them in the street! It was fun setting them up and running them with different tires/shocks etc.Comment

Get a Traxxas Rustler, my brother has a tricked out one that goes about 80mph.Comment

We've got 3-4 Slash 4x4s at the house from various B-Days and Xmas. The kids love them and the wife/I play with them too.
We've got some $ tied up in them now but I got sick of throwing away the cheapos about a month after they got it.Comment

Traxxas Rustler 4x4!!! I’ve got one sitting on the shelf. When I first got it I played around with with the big all terrain tires & it was unstoppable. The newer parts are good, I don’t think I broke anything till I switched it over to a speed rig. 77mph into a curb will brake some things. Got back together did few other things & now got it to 91mph with all factory electronic & 3s battery.

Anything Traxxas. I bought my son one and it just gets abused. I find very relaxing to play with it as well. we have a 2wd slash.Comment

Arrma or Traxxas me and the kiddos have some of each make.
Give Arrma a good look. They are probably bigger in market share than Traxxas these days.
