I was involved in RC in the late 80's and decided to get back into the hobby for cheap. What a great way to go. This is an exceptional beginner truck, but would caution it isn't for small children. I have put this truck through a lot of abuse, and haven't had any durability problems yet. The only problems I encountered are the battery not fitting well into the battery tray (I ended up just trimming the foam back a little) and the antenna holder breaking into pieces when I flipped it on it's lid (amazing they haven't found a better material since the 80's). Those are very minor complaints and so easily fixable, I don't hold it against the truck. I did buy a high quality 3800 battery and get run times of about 25-30 minutes. Top speed is probably about 18-20 MPH. I got mine on Amazon for $80 + $8 shipping, although I haven't seen another one that low yet. Fantastic for the price. 6 of 8 people found the following review helpful: = Durability: This review is from: Evader EXT RTR (Toy) This car runs great out of the box,I bought a 3ooo battery pack and it gives it alot more power,my Rustler is faster,but not by a whole lot.I had some of the parts to break,and when I sent them in I received Graphite replacement parts.The car turns on a dime,has good acceleration and a decent top end,jumps awesome and it must have a lower pinion gear because it seems to pull fairly well also,even in short grass.Plus,it runs about 5 min longer on a battery then my rustler.For the price,it is an awesome car,and it upgrades very easy.I would definatly recomend this car to anyone looking to get into the hobby. 5 of 7 people found the following review helpful: By = Durability: This review is from: Evader EXT RTR (Toy) I recieved this car a a birthday present and it works great out of the box. It isn't very fast or easily upgradable without spending a lot of money (esc only handles 20 turn motor which this truck already comes with) but it's fun anyway. When I broke 2 parts which are covered under the warranty I mailed them away for replacement. Turnaround took 3 weeks and after waiting all of the time I still needed parts. I neglected to pull out a screw from the part I sent in, so I never got it back, or the shock ball it apparently held in place. That was my fault, but this is supposed to be a beginner truck and I am no expert on RC cars. Long story short it's been over a month I've been unable to use the car and its easier and faster to just go to a hobby store and buy the parts. |
