It’s no secret that I love building, driving, and modifying radio controlled cars. I’ve written The Drive’s buyer’s guides for RC trucks, RC cars, and even RC drift cars. I’ve reviewed a few different trucks: the 1:16 scale Bezgar HP161S basher, the 1:10 scale Laegendary Thunder basher, and the 1:10 scale Laegendary Grondo rock crawler. I own several cars and trucks that I haven’t reviewed, including a Traxxas Slash. The VXL version of it is one of the many trucks going at a discount during Amain Hobbies’ End of Summer Sale. And there are a ton more deals on RC cars and trucks to check out.
The RC hobby seems to fixate on trucks. When I was a kid, everything was about the buggies. Now it’s bashers and rock crawlers that dominate the space. I have a Traxxas Slash in my collection and I love the scale looks and performance. I also like that I can drive it just about anywhere. The one I own is the brushed 2WD version. Right now, the Traxxas Slash 4×4 VXL Brushless version is just $349.95 including the transmitter. If you’d rather get into a 1:10 scale rock crawler for the same price, the Traxxas TRX-4 Sport High Trail Edition crawler is also on sale.
I recently bought a TRX-4M, which is the 1:18 scale version of that truck. Speaking of smaller scales, this Kyosho MX-01 Mini-Z 4X4 Readyset Land Rover Defender 90 is on sale for $138.99. It’s perfect for crawling in the backyard or even indoors if you want. Or, if you want something a little more unique to drive around the house, how about this Orlandoo Hunter Micro 6×4 Scania semi-truck kit for $134.99?
Not everyone is into trucks. Maybe RC drifting is more for you. If you also happen to be a European car fan, then you’re in luck. The MST RMX 2.5 E92 Body for $349.99 is your best choice in this particular sale. Maybe you want something that’s aimed at just street-hooning, and you want something big(like 2 feet long). In that case, check out this Maverick QuantumR Flux 4S RTR Race Truck for $269.99. Lastly, if you’re interested in the stuff I’ve tested, the Bezgar is on sale at Amazon right now and is still a pretty great deal.
