Hi, i have 3, a carisma gtb, losi mini 8ight and an lc racing emb 1, all are great depending on what you want to do with them, if it's indoor racing the gtb is really good followed closely by the emb 1, if you want to use it as a fun basher both emb and mini 8 are great but personally i would go emb as it has great parts out of the box the kit version being the one to go for as rtr has plastic parts that don't hold up well, if you tell us what your plans are for it i can be more specific with the details and specs.

Si

Yep thumbs is a great place for hop ups and to look at set up sheets if i remember rightly.

I run a leopard 5800kv 4 pole great motor over carisma motors, i am using a castle micro pro esc just for the pure size of it, savox1275 mg servo, geared diffs, but chatting with those mentioned would be a great idea
