Hi all,
I’m completely new to this world (if you don’t count the Tamiya Fox in my garage that hasn’t run for over 20 years) and thinking about getting an RC truck for my 9 year old son for Christmas. Maybe one for myself too, so we can double the fun.
I looked at the AMP which is what my local hobby shop recommended for $250 here in Australia. He pointed out the charger is a slow charger so we’d want to look at a better one for around $50. Also an extra battery for about another $50. I’m presuming I may be able to do cheaper online once I know what I’m looking for.
However, I notice the brushed Ruckus sells for $300 with LiPo and 2hr charger. So I could get a Ruckus with LiPo including fast charger for around the same price as an AMP plus fast charger.
Why not just go for the Ruckus? Am I missing something here?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
