- Is the Traxxas Villain EX the best RC boat for $250 and under?
Is there any other boat that is better?

A The Traxxas Villan is EX is the best rated electric RC boat made by Traxxas. You could also go with the Traxxas Blast which is considerably cheaper but it's also not as fast and will be harder to control in choppy waters due to it's hull design. One thing to rememer if you are going to purchase the Villan is that it takes two 7.2v batteries.

- Can anyone help me find a fun Electric RC car?
hey, i am into RC cars and i have an Ofna LX COMP, a revo, a kyosho, and a team losi mini t. i like electric more but my mini t is just too small. can any one help me? i want either Foward Wheel Drive of 4x4. i have a budget, but i can spend like 300. please help?

A Hi there, I'd recommend looking for a Traxxas E-Maxx. You're already familiar with the Revo and the E-Maxx is basically built on a T-Maxx chassis. Why I say this: 2 550 brushless motors (no more brush replacements = save $) The dual motors mean more power (14.4v), though it takes two 6-cell batteries. Most have a hi/low shifter on the radio, though I have heard newer ones are a one speed which also seems nice. You win either way. The top speed is around 33+ mph if I remember correctly They are a blast to drive, incredibly durable, super fast for an off road electric, and easy to find upgrades and spare parts for since it is a popular model and shares the chassis design with the T-Maxx. Check a new/used one out on eBay perhaps. You could probably find a nice one for under your target range. Or, if you like kit building, you can find a Tamiya Super Clodbuster online about anywhere for ~$220. I own one and it is pretty nifty also, but a little slower and older tech. (depends on what you like) --Hope this helps your saga and good luck.
