Convince me not to buy a traxxas 4tec 3.3

[AddictedtoNITRO]

The 4tec isn't very good. The stampede is okay, and I have seen people have luck with the Rustler and Revo's, but I see more broken traxxas stuff than anything else.

Tmaxx's are crap compared to whats out there now. They were good int he beginning but Traxxas just keeps turning them out. They break too easy and don't take abuse compared to a Savage.

Plus, with a 4tec if you hit the smallest rock or pebel on the street its either gonna start to slide, or it will take to the air because it has no ground clearance.

With a 1/8th scale on-road basher like the Inferno GT, Ultra GTP, or OFNA DM-1 then you can happily run just about an any but the most cracked up parking lots. Plus you can drop a big block inthere, so a sick on-road motor, or even for bashing a larger engine and use a wider gear ratio for some sick speed and fun. The bigger stuff is just fun cause you can run it just about anywhere.

oh I totaly agree that traxxas can't stand up to some of the others out there...But sometimes for the price you pay ie. 179 nib for a stampede SOME of the models are worth it. Not like I'm sayin if a 1/8 th buggy came out I'd buy it cause that'd be the last buggy I would buy lol. Like I said I have no bones to pick with traxxas though they help bring people into this hobby and thats what we like. People just need to make a educated decision on what they buy and can afford. Like me I just bought a nib lsp...I can't afford a nice hopped up roller for 300 and front a nother couple hundred on other stuff so I got what I could afford and still be happy. But I know traxxas was my first and I'm sure it was many other peopls first so somewhere they are doing something right.
