Should I get Sandking XL or SWB?

[fiebru787]

Xl the swb look retarded IMO

[BondageKitty]

If you go with the XL, get someone that has it to drive it to the beach pier where the seasharks spawn. Another will spawn next to the green ramp. If on Xbox 360 I can get it for you. Also remember to get the one with default bullbars. Bumpers are awful.

SWB is better for offroading.

so the XL does spawn on the street (or beach) with the brush bar without the air dam bit? i've yet to find one like this myself only found the SWB like this, but good to know though.

[JohnDoe7125539271]

SWB is more about off-roading. I own both XL and SWB, there is a minor difference in handling, but I can't vouch that you'll be able to reach places with SWB that you won't with XL and I did a lot of off-roading.

I don't get the idea about that Dubsta 6x6 — Sandking XL (SWB) argument. If you're into off-roading, you're definitely using both cars along with something else.

Ex: in Sandking I'm able to cross much deeper rivers, than 6x6. And still, 6x6 climbs better. Unless there are stones on your way: it's Sandking territory. In practise, Sandking = 90% of 6x6 possibilities for 10% price. And in extreme circumstances you can destroy your car 5-6 times per session.

 

Seems like you know both cars... i really like the 6x6, but i KNOW some spots, the Sandking can climb, but the 6x6 doesn't. One is like a wall made of sand near the cliffs (zancudo)

If one is bigger than the other, its an easy choice.

i wonder if this is the same place i'm think of? if it is, this is where i do all my hill climb tests. quite the challenge for everything i've tested there. not many have made it as easily as the Sandking, but i have managed to get my Baller Sport up there before after quite a few tries.

I don't know, i only got there by accident & needed to make my way up again. Will try them out both today! Maybe i'll even create some short hard races to test them.

[G37]

While the Dubsta is a very good climber and albeit a better racer, it still loses out in overall clearance and climbing ability/aptitude.

 

I prefer the SWB because it's just that .. it's shorter. It may only sit 2 people however it's a little less prone to bottom out and the shorter dimensions only helps in situations where you may get .. stuck.

The 6x6 is good but the sandking is definitely better. There is no difference between the two models, so go with the XL for more seats.

 

EDIT: to everyone saying one Sandking is better than the other , you never have driven both right after each other. They are the same. the SWB is maybe easier to drive im smaller areas because it is smaller, but if thats the case then just get a dune buggy you pussy. XL all day.

i know what you mean, but choosing one over the other just because of seating doesn't matter either. you want seating capacity then get a granger or whatever where people are hanging off the sides, because 8 is better than 4 right? no difference between the two? then why did you point out the differences then? you want to trade a little performance for 2 more seats or a better performance with only two seats? personally i choose the SWB because i think it looks better, but that's my taste and preference.

SWB. the 6X6 isn't great on the dunes or through the mud.

 

 

And if you don't care about seats, SWB is better than the XL.

SWB always felt the better drive for me - the Sandking can clear many obstacles the Dubsta 6x6 can't - especially things like small walls and central reservations as long as you don't lower it.

I read this maybe three times and I'm confused at what you're trying to say. My point was that the XL and the SWB are the exact same in performance, the only difference is that the SWB is a bit smaller but that doesn't affect performance, and the XL has more seats, The Granger is straight trash ash idk why you even brought it up. The question is between these two trucks, and since the performance between them is the exact same why wouldn't you pick the same truck that has more seating for your friends.

Their stats are the same but their performance is not the same.

 

SWB by nature of it being Shorter Wheel Base means it has a smaller turning radius, which means it is more agile than the XL.

 

Not only that, but as a result of having less of a gap between the front and rear wheels, it is less likely you'll beach the bottom of the vehicle on obstacles.

Coming for someone who has both and has had both since launch I can honestly say this is in correct. If the point of having the truck is to turn on the roads nicely then why buy this truck? If it's for offloading then turning means nothing if you're stuck on a hill. Also the point about beaching the bottom, this rarely comes into play while doing anything other than driving over cars and barriers. Rocks and other debris don't usually hit the bottom of either.

 

Personally my favorite is the XL because they ARE THE EXACT SAME, but I can hold more of my friends in it. So it doesn't matter what we say, it probably comes down to what the OP is looking for. More seats, or turning a tad bit better which is meaningless most of the time.

[~TKP~]

SWB and XL arent the same and since when is turning not important in offroading? especially when driving over rocks, getting a tighter turn is very important. There are differences between the 2. I've had them both from start also and actually have driven them one after the other. It's a personal choice tho at the end of the day but I sided with the SWB every day of the week.

The wheelbase is shorter (that's why it's called Short Wheel Base) therefore it has a tighter turning radius. If you're trying to make a turn between two obstacles, that matters. Because of this the two are not the same. That also goes for the reduction in high-centering the SWB on a rock. If you're stuck on a rock in the XL and all 4 wheels are on the ground, you can't do the teeter-totter motion to get free.

With better agility you're less likely to get suck on a hill in the first place... You have to drive around obstacles sometimes offroad, even in a Sandking. It also makes it easier to navigate the curves of the terrain. Turing isn't something you only ever do in the city.

 

Do a few custom offroad races tailored to Sandkings. You'll get quicker times in the SWB if your driving is half decent.

I see your points but its like saying which is better; A galaxy s5 on AT&T vs a galaxy s5 on Verizon. They are the same thing, just cosmetic difference. I've been off roading for the last few weeks because thats all I ever do nowadays and I promise you, the Sandking XL can go more places then the SWB.

The SWB can go nearly everywhere but in the few places it can't, my friends driving the XL can do it so I have to call mine in and then I can finally do it.

SWB is for "real" offroaders.

 

And for the people saying the 6x6 is the new top dog...... you are bad and you should feel bad. 6x6 is a concrete princess..

 

 

 

 

/thread

Again the 6x6 could climb up there

 

So can my BMX bike...

[JohnDoe7125539271]

Just did a climbing test, Dubsta 6x6 vs Sandking XL. First, get up on this thing.... Is VERY hard with the 6x6, because it's smaller. If you're on this ramp, it still doesn't have enough power to climb. The Sandking did it very good & even climbed on the rooftop at the end.

That's a pretty bad comparison though, contrasting the same device on different carriers. There are inherent differences (besides the wireless communication methods - GSM, CDMA for example - they will also perform marginally different as well) and the bloatware both carriers install on their licensed phones is also different (which again has an impact).

 

To the point.

 

As everyone has been saying, they are identical in terms of their stats (power, traction, speed, acceleration, etc). The difference lies in how they handle. Shorter wheel base = tighter turning circle = less bottoming out =/= the same truck.

 

The comment about calling everyone a "pussy" because they prefer a different truck compared to you is completely unnecessary and does nothing to aid your opinion (does not make it any more right)

Why do you want a Sand if you've already got the 6x6?

(Sand, not Sandking, because now Dubsta 6x6 is king of off roaders)

no carbon rs is if you get the chance use it off road and yse i know it a bike but its still great off road
