| New Vaterra Owner Here, Looking for advice
Hi Everyone, i am just about too order 3 ascender 2.0 Chevy suburban rtr's for my kids i can get them on sale for $399Aud Or i can get the Vaterra 1986 Chevrolet K-5 Blazer KIT for the same price which is ok i can then get the rest to make it rtr Which way should i go? Can anyone help me with a list of Critical spares? IE: things that break easy and things that should be upgraded immediately i have done a search and a bit of reading and so far it seems like i should order 3 sets of steel gears for the transmission on the suburban at the very least but i'd like to ask the more seasoned owners what i can expect Thanks everyone Last edited by Rav3n; 09-10-2019 at 10:55 PM. |

If you are still able to get K5 Blazer Kits, I would definitely pick those up.

Ok thanks for that info Soze, based off that pricing for the kits then getting electrics would i be better off just forking out the extra for trx4 sports? i can get them for $575ea??

But the TRX4 Sport would probably be more future proof at this point with better parts supply. Of course it all depends on your budget. What's the price on the Element Enduro in AUS vs the TRX4 Sport? I would imagine the Enduro should be more inexpensive than the TRX4. Last edited by soze; 09-11-2019 at 01:26 AM. | |

TRX-4 portals are cool, but will never crawl as well as non-portal axles. There are many radios out there for less money such as DX2, Flysky and Noble, kinda depends on your budget and what feels best while holding the trasmitter. | |
