Now first thing's first . These are my Initial thoughts. from staring at it and driving it a little
The bad .
- 3 of the 4 shocks had leaked out almost all their oil before I received it .
- The included battery was almost useless .
- The stock motor not really practical for the application it's a 540 motor but it has a fan installed in a manner that makes the winding's shorter lowering the torque the motor will produce when compared to a normal 540 motor used in R.C.
- Since they picked the wrong motor there claim of 30mph is unlikly even with a different battery .
- One of my front tire's has a serious defect
- bushings .
- spur gear and pinion cover is a chore to remove
The annoying
- Why does every body use brass pinions
- The tires are really out of balance
- screws are soft and you must use the right screw driver or risk damaging them
- steering has more slop then I would like for a new truck
- thread lock on the pinion set screw
- ESC looks cobbled together and unfinished
The good
- ESC is rated at 300 amp's (it's what the manual say's) if that's true you can upgrade to a good brushed motor
- big bore shocks
- The plastic motor mount has a aluminum brace
- tire compound is pretty good for a rtr the stiff foams hold them back though
- The slipper clutch design will allow other brands spur gears to be used
- front has aluminum hinge pin brace
- battery compartment is easily expandable but will onlyfit a 6 cell NIMH stick pack or 7 cell hump pack
- uses standard 12mm hex's
More to follow check back soon.
