Kyosho

TR-15

 

 

 

278 x 190

1.7kg as stock (.15 engine)

Budget : 280$

Cheaper and simpler than FW04 series ... Off-road roots as well

 

 

1:8 Touring

HPI

Super Nitro

 

 

 

280/300 x 200

Budget : 270-280$

HPI Page

Light and efficient chassis ... packaged with valuable options ... Welcomed wheelbase versatility ... Great choice of bodies

Tamiya

TGX

Example here !

 

 

300 x 190 (200 on HPI wheels)

2.2kg as stock (.15 engine)

Budget : 180-350$

Simple and efficient chassis ... Lack of BB and universal joints ... Super easy conversion ... Affordable parts ... Expensive but super detailed bodies

Tamiya

TGR

My favorite !

 

 

300 x 190 (200 on HPI wheels)

2.0kg as stock (.15 engine)

Budget : 380$

Expensive but ultimate touring chassis ... Extra performance if correctly tuned ... Actually a super car for a middle-class price ! Same body choice than previous TGX

 

 

1:8 Racing

These nitro kits still can accomodate affordable Speed700 motors with 12cells or better 12-16cells solutions

 

Serpent

950 series

 

 

 

300 x ? (260 overall width)

2.5kg as stock (.21 engine)

Budget : $$$

Foam tires

Most capable asphalt killer ... Tons of potential ... Expensive but intensive hop ups available ... Widely distributed ... Many second-hand stuff available

 

 

1:8 Rallye

Next kits require 500-800W output solutions ... 12-18 cells Brushless should be ok as for a less punchy twin 700 setup

 

Kyosho

Landmax

(discontinued)

 

 

 

325 x 220

3.3kg as stock (.21 engine)

Budget : 450-500$

9.7 ratio (51/15 primary)

94 x 37 specific wheels (expensive)

Very fun stuff to play with ! Lack of hop ups on former Landmax series(shocks, BB, cardans, etc.) ... High CoG but useful ground clearance ... Beautiful but expensive wheels and bodies

 

 

1:6 Touring

Next kits require 12-24 cells solutions ... 12 for low riding and 24 for optimum peformance ... Larger combos could break the gearing

 

Protech

Pro MAX RS

 

 

 

 

400 x 235

5.5kg as stock (.21 engine)

Budget : 530€

Hong-Nor chassis ... Wide size on proven 1:8 transmission ... Enough choice of bodies ... Easy conversion with tons of room ... Poorly distributed till now
