Micro 1/16 off - road help

[Team 36]

Hi I'm thinking off buying a micro 1/16 off - road buggy don't really no a lot about them what are the best micro on the market most say buy a carisma or losi any help would be great

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.
