battry is crap lol i havent used it in about 7 years

patrick white says:

o ya and every video i see the e-revo alway fliping every sec i dont like
that is that because people are tweaking theres or that is how the car is

Hub Hobby Center says:

Hi Darkmamba90, you’ll have to figure out which car best suits your needs.
However, I’d recommend the Traxxas 1/16th E-Revo. A bit on the pricey side
but real nice, lots of parts in case you need to fix something. Worth
checking out.

bigmom1201 says:

actually, that is a real nice car, but a cheap, reliable, fun little
basher, is the traxxas slash 4×4, great little truck, fast too!

oldschoolman1 says:

OK thankyou for the reply. I will keep looking in hope of finding what i
want. Ive added your site to my fav. list and hope that we can do business.
very good video though!

$40 dollars. Do you have any recomendations?

sotiris vasiliou says:

hello i need a fast electric car about 100-150 euros do you have any
recomendations?

jhonnix1995 says:

i want an rc car that goes fast more than 50km/h and i wanna know which one
is the best?

oldschoolman1 says:

Ok i just went to your site and you do not offer a nitro or gas car on your
website. Thankyou for the informational video anyway!

Hub Hobby Center says:

oldschoolman1 – At the moment we are in the middle of switching web hosts.
As a result, our online inventory is limited until we’ve completed the
transition. Good luck with your purchase!

OHardwick94 says:

Who wouldn’t recommend an electric. Unless you really can’t find racing in
an electric car (which is impossible) then electric is simpler, more
efficient, cheaper and on road tracks even faster than nitro or gas.
Electric just has too many pros compared to the other RC classes. So it
would make sense to start with electric and stick with it.

Randi Cheung says:

I bought and build a electric rc Car, Model is subaru brz, after building
it works perfectyl but my horrible driving skill. i ran it into everything,
i think i broken or loosen something because it stop working. I check the

juliotheflame says:

hi im 13 years old and im thinking of buying an rc car. do u know any cars
in the price of maybe less than 100$ or alittle more. im thinking of maybe
getting an rc car that goes pretty fast and tht would last long. ive never
had an rc car, but i did have several remote control cars smaller than rc
cars like at toy stores. please give me feedback and also one last thing,
which store in canada or whtever, would i be able to buy an rc car

Hub Hobby Center says:

Thank you! As we continue to add product, you can keep checking the site.
You can also place an order via phone and we can ship it out to you. 🙂

Jake Miller says:

yeah but brand new the slash 4×4 costs 430 dollars

harveyjw2001 says:

Hi I’m looking for a nitro car that is under £225 ($364) it has to be fast,
reliable, tough, strong and a good spares base. I am totally new to this
hobby and don’t have a blue on what to get. I do know the basics on which
brands to avoid basic maintenance and things like that.

Hub Hobby Center says:

CoolDude94001, honestly, you are not going to find much at that price
range. You’d be able to get a toy RC car, but they will lack the speed and
performance you desire. Additionally, the majority of toy RC cars are not
waterproof and can only be used inside. You could try searching Craigslist,
Ebay or Amazon for a deal on a used RC car. I hope you find something that
works for you!

patrick white says:

my brother wants a car now cuz my mom got me the e-revo but what about a
easy to use no maintains drift car maybe 20 mph and about th3 1/12 to 16/16

LETMEHAVETOPCOMMENT says:

Actually you can get a RC18 For about less than $200.
