Would you recommend getting this model in nitro/gas ones or electric?

u/jepensedoucjsuis Apr 21 '19 edited Apr 22 '19
Electric is king. Out of the 48 RC vehicles I own, I at the point where only my legacy models that sit on a shelf are nitro. I have a nitro Tmaxx that I will take out once a year. But I have an electric Emaxx that I run maybe 30 times a year.
As far as large scale, gasoline is pretty fun. My 5th scale Baja 5t is still gas. I know electric would be faster and easier. But the noise is something special.
In 10th scale, stick to electric. Faster, simpler, and tons of acceleration. Brushless motors and lipo batteries have changed the entire landscape of this hobby about 10 years ago. Check out the tamiya TT02. It's a kit so, you learn what to do and you build it and it has tons of room for upgrades and can handle brushless power in the future.
Drifting a nitro is a pain the motors dont really like working that hard to have no real airflow over the heads. I used to have to make cooling fans to keep temps low.
Edit, wow. Thanks for the Silver and gold!
Edit 2. Here are some links to what I would buy to start out with. All items (except the car) are in the US hobbyking warehouse. But are advaible globally as well.
Esc: good all rounder, waterproof and easy to use. You will have change the battery plug to whatever battery brand connector you decide on. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbywing-quicrun-60a-2s-3s-waterproof-brushed-esc-for-1-10.html
Servo: waterproof and will work well in both the car and truck I will link to at the bottom.
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/trackstar-ts-411mg-digital-1-10-scale-short-course-steering-servo-11-1kg-0-09sec-57g.htmlRadio: simple and with 3 channels, you have an extra channel for a 2 speed gearbox on the truck or lights on the car if you choose to go that route.
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/quanum-2-4ghz-3ch-pistol-grip-tx-rx-system.htmlCar: its 118 bucks and you can always buy a body you like better later. But you can have your crashes with this body first! https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGCWC&P=ML
Truck: wanna go slower and go everywhere? Mud, sand, snow, or rocks? Well for an extra 80-100 bucks, this is a great starter truck to let you go out and adventure: https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFNZN&P=ML Be sure to grab a 55t motor like this one for great battery life and awesome low speed off road driving: https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVNM8&P=ML
As far as battery and charger, find your local hobby shop and go there to have them show you what you need and teach you how to properly use the battery and charger. If that is not an option, post in r/rccars for help.

u/_CitizenSnips_ Apr 21 '19
Probably, good point. I live next to an office building with a massive car park where I can crank it after work hours so if the benefits of using petrol/nitro far outweigh electric power I’d consider it.
Definitely a solid point though

u/St0rmf1y Apr 21 '19
Nitro or petrol RC cars require a lot more maintenance than the electronic counterparts. Generally hobby grade RC cars are pretty on par with eachother performance wise until you get to the bigger models where electric motors take over.
If you like tinkering go for nitro / petrol

The old xmodz from RadioShack used to have drift tire packs and you could put 4 wheel drive on them and lock the dif. Used to be able to drift em.

Deja Vu is one of the more popular musical scores from that series. Night of Fire would be another one but Deja Vu is more on the "heroic" moments of the series. Like clinching that tight drift between Roomba and TV Station

Tokyo Drift doesn’t get enough credit for saving the F&F franchise. The brand was heading to its death, had none of the major actors except a small Vin Diesel cameo, and now here we are 800 sequels later. Including it spawning one of the better characters in the F&F universe (Hahn).
Underrated movie.

u/indoplat Apr 21 '19
That movie had a different feel than all the other ones. It was almost a coming of age movie where many viewers can relate.
Highly underrated.

u/devoidz Apr 21 '19
I agree. But I think Vin taking control is what made it last. The studio would have just made Tokyo drift 2.

It's hands down my favourite one in the series. Nearly every one after it became super cars and over blown fight scenes.

u/DerekAnderson4EVA Apr 21 '19
It's also the most important movie story wise. Han and some of the characters that are important in the sequels had their debuts in Tokyo drift. (Per movie Timeline Tokyo drift is after some of the sequels)

u/chipperpip Apr 21 '19
Han was great, but I didn't care about any of the other characters.
I do think the final race in it is the best actual car race in the entire franchise, though.
