The kit part is a problem. I would say something like Kyosho Inferno GT/Traxxas Jato would be perfect for your application.

I need something very fast, that has a low center of gravity and is able to do the brick streets [:@]
...and it has to be a kit

RE: THE LOUNGE 2
.. warhead.. well... seems to me i have a couple friends with warheads.. they love em
and ive seen they are rather durable as well..
the evader.. learn to drive itll break less... simple as that i had my evader... for almost 5 years before i passed it to the next owner the ONLY thing that EVER broke was a front shock tower and that was MY fault...i hit a tire the new owner.. has yet to break it as well.. and hes a 13 year old kid hes burnt up a few motors in it.. he doesnt understand the proper way to setup a ball diff.. but as far as broken part on account of cheap quality ... none
as far as revofreaks evader.. i built that thing.. and hes VERY hard on vehicles.. and he broke a front a arm from a cartwheel and the motor he was using.. of course mamba max was a bit to much for the idler gear... NOT the diff.. the idler it stripped it
im sorry that youve either gotten a bad truck or really should take better care maybe.. but there is nothing wrong with duratrax products

Good luck then. From my point of view it makes no sense to run something worth anywhere from $500-$5000 a kit with very little replacement parts and would not be as good performer as a $100 TT-01.

Which reminds me, have to get some tires for my tt-01 to start running on the street.
And probably buy LB's TB-02 [X(]

I feel insulted because I take pride in the care I give my cars and trucks, because I can't really afford to burn one up very quickly, I clean it every time I run it, I put after run oil in me engine, I inspect EVERY time I run it, I don't jump it very high, I don't beat it to death and quit frankly I take better care of it then most people would ever would.

What?! No... that one I am keeping it around so I can go drift w/ AutoXMan when we meet up!!
I bagged a bunch of TB-02 and has been selling them slowly.. TEX got one, mechanizeddeath got one, Cornel got 2, TheCollector1 got 1.. 1 left.. maybe AutoXMan will get it.. maybe not.. no worry.. I am no pusher.. (well, I don't push really hard.. hee hee..

I noticed it, I have one I cannot decide what car to put it in. Think it will make an onroad car somewhat speedy?

I am sure everything is in a case by case basis...
Some people breaks the toughest truck because somehow he just landed it at a funny angle.. some people never had problem with some other truck that's supposed to be troublesome...
Luck plays part of it as well, that's for sure!!
