chewbacca Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 So it's a Revo mixed with a Summit with a bit of Savage thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The battery design looks a little different and could be a weak point. Liking a diff idea, something new for once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mond Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Going to wait for the proper reviews to come in but I'm very tempted to get one without the locking diffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One word 'Summit' Unfortunately the Nero doesn't do it for me, yes a 6s monster truck is great but over the rocky stuff it looked like it just didn't belong.

I thought the same thing, but then realised thats more about the shell than anything else. For something they are selling as a 'do everything' truck they have very much gone for the low and sleek look of a high speed truggy more than the tall and realistic style of a crawler. If it came with a Summit like body it would look better. Price is high, but in line with E-revos etc. Whether you'd want this over a Revo will depend on build quality and whether it really can 'do it all'.

The Summit has Traxxas glass diffs, this doesn't AND has a lockable CD! It's faster and probably tougher, this all sounds far superior to the Summit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing is a win win draw situation. I never once said there was anything wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A summit type shell won't help with its poor ground clearance. I can't see it replacing a solid axle crawler but if this Nero is tough it could corner the market in both bashing truggies and MTs.

Si Coe Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 This isn't really faster than the Savvy or Revo since speed is just a matter of the esc/motor used. It would be no real trouble for Traxxas to fit the Revo or Summit with the same electric for a 2016 edition and be just as quick. So this truck needs to be more than just rapid to justify that price. It needs to deliver quality at least on par with Traxxas and HPI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I like it. Not sure if I like £650 though, £450 tops for me.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
