What Rally Car should I buy?

[sethstiles]

I've always loved rally. What rally car should I buy? I'm open to 1/10, 1/14 and even 1/16 and either RTR or kit. Love anyone's input.

Get a 1/10th for sure. Any mini sized RC just isn't great outdoors.

There's a lot of rally options out there. Here are a few:

Kyosho Fazer
MST XXX Rally
Tamiya TT-01, TT-02, XV-01

I built the XV-01 and I hated it. It's an example of parts-bin engineering gone wrong. There are interference and limitations in the suspension and steering. I test ran it and then sold it. Others love it.

Thanks. I heard the same thing about the XV01. I really like the MST xxx but it looks like parts are hard to come by and wait time could be sketchy. Obviously there is the Traxxas too.....which does look good and parts support is obviously great.

The Traxxas rally is huge compared to the ones I listed. The Traxxas is basically a Slash 4x4 whereas the ones I listed are touring car sized.

Well comparing the Traxxas and the others is apples to oranges, the platforms that Jato linked are all 1/10 Touring Cars with rally bodies, whereas the Traxxas Rally is just a Slash 4x4 LCG chassis, so it's SCT sized and way bigger than the touring cars.

These Maverick's are HPI products that are starting to come into the states from Europe. They look interesting and quite good:
