I've got an AX5 buggy. Lots of fun. Lots of noise. Lots of breakages.
I also have an electric 4WD truck.
It's so easy. Charge in the car. On a long drive, stop at a park, throw it on the ground, have a little fun until the battery dies, throw it back in the car (no oily mess) and charge it until the next rest stop.
Definitely go the truck over the buggy.

HPI Baja 5B/T :D

I'd go a stadium truck, second choice buggy, then short course truck, so long as scale stays the same.
Buy something you can readily get spare parts for-Kyosho, Tamiya, Losi, HPI, Associated, Traxxas etc.
Support your local hobby shop please :)

Nitro cars are tempramental and expencive fuel , You can now get 2stroke cars at a good price alot easier to start and run and cheaper to run :cool:

Agreed with other posters, electric are soooo much better than nitro. My Half8 brushless buggy is insanely fast and never needs tuning. As someone who does time in a hobby shop, I see far more problems with nitro than electric cars and they sell about equally!

Non-electric model cars generally use 2-stroke model engines using methanol-based fuel containing a percentage of nitromethane.

(I've been using 2-stroke model engines for over 50 years.)

Ya I was thinking of a truck alright I never heard of a two stroke before are they expensive to buy? I not really gone on a battery power ones dunno why! Rather nitro or petrol

We're in Perth would I find a good hobby shop to look and buy??

Glow vs spark... spark ignition is becoming more common in the big stuff, first boats now cars often based on chainsaw engines.

Sorry not sure about Perth hobby shops...should be some listed in the yellow pages though. Give them a call to see if they do rc.

I no the nitro engines give trouble if not looked after I often had trouble with my nitro cars wouldn't mind trying out a 2 stroke engine for a change

Some of the bigger ones use a two stroke oil/petrol mix and are spark ignition. Sort of like the Qaudra's of the model car world.

You'd be wanting a buggy then. I think, from memory, they're about 3 foot long.

They've got smaller. Had to happen

Anyone have a two stroke they would demo for me or even have one to sell

The "nitro" engines are still 2-stroke!

I assume you want a petrol-engined car.

Well i did say 2 stroke and i meant 2 stroke fuel with spark plug not glow plug and yes i should have been more precise in my explanation for your interpratation;)

I only just bought a 2 stroke petrol powered buggy over xmas , All ill say is i have owned a nitro car before (pain) the 2 stroke fueled car is a lot easier to start less junk to take when you go any where just a fuel can and thats it :D

My car has a 28cc whipper snipper engine goes good but wil go better once run in and as these are fairly new there are a lot more hot up bits becoming avalible:cool:
