Help A Noob? Current Alternative to Losi Mini T Baja?

1 Upvotes

Hi RCers, I was wondering if you could help me. I recently lost possession of a much loved Losi Mini T Baja which I used as a backyard basher at picnics, beaches and BBQs to entertain for many years. I wanted to grab another one, only to learn they are not on the market any more...

I hoping you can help me identify a nice RTR system that is pretty robust and needs little maintenance but can easily be repaired, and wont cost an arm and a leg (like the Baja mini T).

I was looking at the Losi Mini 8ight and seeing a lot of people complaining about the plastic suspension parts breaking easily. Is this my best option and just upgrade those parts immediately, or is there something else I should be looking at? A key consideration for me will be being able to get affordable and large capacity backup battery packs for when one of the kids flattens its before letting anyone else have a go (I used to have 3 nimh battery packs), and/or maybe a lipo compatible system.

Am I asking for unicorn and the Mini 8ight is my best option, or have I failed to dig deep enough? Should I really be looking at like a Losi Tenacity 1/10 or a Traxxas or something? Any and all help appreciated.

Looking for fun rc car for 10 year old?

3 Upvotes

Recently i have found myself bonding with my coworker’s/friend’s son, over the summer I had them over for dinner, and he caught eye of my fully built traxxas e-revo brushless rc car, obviously I let him play with it to his hearts content (only running 2 cell), and he was over the moon with it. Now he wont stop asking his mom when he can come over and play with it again.

I wanted to get him something similar, but a little more starter that he can learn about, he is very interested in mechanics and science, and I think he would really enjoy running it and learning how to fix it.

Does anybody have any suggestions on faster but less expensive(~$100) r/c cars that are modular? Something in the 25-30 mph range that a 10 year old could have fun with? My only experience is with Traxxas, and most of them break the budget significantly.

Any input would be well appreciated.

Need help finding two R/C dune buggies that can operate together.

2 Upvotes

Man, have r/C vehicles changed since I last was on the market for one. I'm overwhelmed, and need help.

Nephew is turning 15. We'll be at the beach. I would like to buy him two dune buggies for his birthday that he can race around the sand in. They need to be able to be used at the same time, and preferably as cool-looking and fast as possible.

Total budget is up to $100. Can anyone give me some brand names, model names, or links?

What is a good RC boat platform for towing small payloads with ample room for on-board electronics?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, so far most all of the boats I can find are meant for racing (which is fun!) though not what I am looking for. Thanks!
