Top 10 RC RTR Cars Under $400 

They already did one but I would still like an updated version

Best rtr bashers for 600$

@@57F100 yes, thats what im sayin. But i think the best rtr rc cars would be the 4 traxxas rc's, the rustler, bigfoot, slash, and bandit. But they would all have to be the brushed versions. But there still probably some of the best rc's out there

Hi sugar daddy buy me a rc car pls

Best nitro rc car I’ve ever had

BRCC?

@@DUNGSTA Big Rock Crew Cab. ☺️

I think we mentioned all the 3S BLX vehicles to go along with the #1 pick. You're right about the Senton. We have an older Senton 6S BLX and it's a bloody animal. -Brett

Theyre ok for the price, but I regret not just having gotten a Maxx. Ive had to replace the driveshafts (one broke, figured the rest would too) & spur gear (factory plastic one stripped), as well as locktite the wheel hubs after they kept falling off. Spent $90 on 4 HD driveshafts & another $40 on a metal spur gear. The motor mount & mesh system are its biggest downfall, making it annoying to work on.

@@sofloflow i can name a whole lot more problems on the maxx coming from a person who owns both big rock and max, i am kind of disappointed tho because i spent like almost 300 bucks more on the maxx and that thing is fun but it really has to be babied, the arrma takes more of a beating to actually start destroying parts on it, just my opinion but the arrma is better and better for the price too

Wish I would have got one over the granite.

get it or the granite, both great trucks, I have a granite but only cuz the hobby shop was out of big rocks

Vorteks is the king.💪💪

Did you get it?

nahit breakss too much and overheats too fast for grass

Hmm, it's an interesting topic. For sure, rear wings help a lot; just try driving without and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks. I've n ever driven without a wing. Gotta try it next time. I have two 1/10 buggies (almost vintage lol) and a 1/8 truggy. All nitro.

It's always sad to hear that people are that stupid.. Yeah, a badass 1/5th scale buggy for 200 bucks🤣🤣

@@adtjtjdjsj I know right? Lol

@@adtjtjdjsj There are plenty of topics in which I have little or no expertise. You too, perhaps? Sometimes a bit of kindness is helpful.

@@mgscheue Yeah, but it's still ridicolous to think that a 1/5 scale costs only 200 bucks

@@adtjtjdjsj Yeah, I get it. I teach, and sometimes it’s hard to not react with my initial impulse. (And yes, I wish about the $200!)

Yep, even without batteries included, a vehicle can be ready to run; RTR means the vehicle is assembled, programmed and bound to the electronics, includes a painted body, and is ready to be driven with the installation of batteries. What vehicle do you need a battery recommendation for? -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Understood. So it means it requires no assembly (wheel body painting). Thanks for the kind reply. I'm still far from knowing exactly which model I want but I'm wondering if there's a general recommendation for batteries e.g. if I have to care about voltage or pin connector type. I already know there's so called lipo batteries which are a newer type of battery and should be compatible if I buy a new rc. Thanks for the attention.

Sorry I'm not familiar with that brand since we do not carry it. I suggest looking it up here on YT. -Brett

The 3S BLX cars are great! The driveshafts are a weak point but the cars are powerful, lightweight and can bash! I personally have a Big Rock and the servo died first run and I've gone through many rear driveshafts, so keep spares or get upgraded metal driveshafts. No regrets though. Getting Arrma parts can be an issue, so I always recommend to buy extras, keep them in the package, and return what you don't use down the road. AMain will accept returns back for a full year for top VIP members - as long as you don't open the package! Good luck Alan and have fun. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks Brett for the reply. I was going to get the Arrma Big Rock was 100% but here in Bulgaria, Europe there is an issue with those parts… so finally went with Traxxas Rustler 4x4 vxl. Have a local shop only for Traxxas with everything in it :)

@@alanallen2363 I understand. In that situation, Traxxas is the much better choice, and the Rustler 4X4 VXL is a great truck! Enjoy and let us know if you need anything Alan. -Brett

What!? You had issues with that on the current V3 Big Rock? I thought it was pretty good. I own one too. -Brett

Just get an HPI Vorza Flux. Does 60mph+ stock. Runs 6S. You can still get them new or a nice used one for around $400. Amazing value because they also hold their value very well bc the people that know about them, love them.. Its an 1/8th scale 4wd buggy with a 4mm thick aluminum chassis. Metal D-Shafts. 6S capable. Castle Creations ESC & Castle 2200Kv motor for stock electronics. Mamba Monster 6S system with an HPi sticker on it. Still has the castle logo and works with my USB Castle Link Setup Cable & Program. Has everything a serious 4WD buggy or truck needs.. Fr/Cntr/Rear Metal silicone fluid filled Diff’s. Sway bars. Metal threaded big bore shocks. Super fast (63+mph rated). Super Durable. Parts are super cheap on eBay and it also uses any of the Hop-Up parts from the Hot Bodies HB8 buggy because it’s basically an electric version of it. I’ve had mine for like 4 years now and its literally indestructible. Its wayy above Traxxas quality. Easy to work on. All quality Hex screws. Just very well made and easy to upgrade or just leave it stock. Mine is stock except for aluminum hubs and steering servo/arm. I mostly run it on 4S because you just don’t need anything more than that and it stays super cool. I can ride in sand or loose dirt WOT for an hour and not even get the motor hot and i don’t even run a motor fan bc you don’t need it on 4S, offroad bashing. For 6S or for speed runs then yeah id probably throw a fan on it to be safe. It has the mounting bracket for it already on factory motor mount. Which i also like the design of that. Super simple. Ive ran it on 6S and it gets super fast but to me it only seems useful if you put some street tires on it and ride on the street then.

So switching the tires made that big of a difference?? I love my BR but the handling is Meh at times

@@shelbyrawlins314 yes it helps a lot. this is random but you should get some paddle tires and go to the dunes its hella fun playing with my big rock when i’m in the sand just make sure you get all that sand out after

Reply to it

Everyday. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies when are you restocking on the dr10 parts I just bought one

Nice! Congrats. -Brett

Droop screws limit the downward motion of any suspension arm. The more you tighten yr droop screw the more horizontal yr suspension arm will be. That's how I understand it anyway👍😁

@@surfside75 hey thank you I appreciate it.

Hobbywing motors? The 3650 G2 is designed for lightweight 1/10 applications (buggies, touring cars, drifters) and the 3652 G2 is for heavy 1/10 vehicles, like 4WD short course and monster trucks. The 3652 will have more torque. I've used a 13.5T 3650 in a rock crawler though and it worked really well. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies thank u so much, i was curious cause hnr mars pro (pretty decent truck btw) has 3652 hobbywing combo, i was thinking is this 2mm gives somethig or if its true, thanks for respond cheers

@@oktawianjuszczak5178 Nice! Good motor to be included. -Brett

Yeah fan definitely help. If it's overheating bad, you may need to readjust your gearing. We use these aluminum fans on 7.4V and they push a lot of air and since their aluminum they don't break as easily. -Brett

Ha no traxxas will always be better

Why? The Vortek is basically copied from a Rustler 4x4. Same outside design. Parts availability for Traxxas is the top one

@@hotdogmarcas9836 TOTALLY AGREE

@@reidisaacson9623 I was just asking TRAXXAS EVERYDAY 👍🏻

There's also the Redcat Racing Gen8 V2 that retails FF or around $329. It's a great crawler.

It looks like we made a mistake on that because I can't find the brushed model either, only the brushless and the kit. The brushed may still exist but it doesn't look we have it. -Brett

I was shocked. I kinda watched it just to prove there wouldn't be a nitro. Happily surprised

Is it good? 4x4?

@@evanicole55 Yeah It's basically the same as the E-maxx but in this case its nitro powered. And It's 4x4. It goes about 40+ mph. And then there's the T-maxx 3.3 which is 45+mph.

Just buy extended 14mm hex hubs at the desired length and take the 12mm off completely. The 12 to 14mm adapters are all junk

@@rcyalater...2305 I didn’t even think that was an option thanks for the info

Traxxas parts are literally everywhere, Arrma....not so much. I can go half hour for Traxxas but need to go an hour and a half for Arrma parts and who knows if they actually have it

The wider and more stable Big Rock would probably be better for a beginner. If anything, you'll be running after the truck less to flip it back over. -Brett

M'y Channel youtube 🤣🤣

@kevintalbot obviously 😂

It nearly is: Product Width: 14.02" (356 mm) Wheelbase: 12.87 in (327mm) -Brett

No. They don't send us cars sadly. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies that sucks! Hopefully yall can pick one up and do a video on it!

Considering they're discontinued models, I disagree with that. The V2 models on the other hand look great, but they are not under $400. -Brett

Agreed, if it was under $400 -Brett

I have the v3 and the typhon

@@juliuseder8365 oh! good! I like typhon😀

Yeah its the best out of the 3s lineup for me

@@juliuseder8365 yeah i went 3s typhon or 6s. But i don't have more money😭

That sucks
