Basher 1/16 4WD Mini Monster Truck V2 - HellSeeker (RTR)

 

Quote

 

There are some exciting upgrades added to this Mini Monster Truck. The transmission has had a makeover with tougher transmission gears and a slipper clutch to the reduce the wear and tear on the driveline. After listening to feedback the dog bones are longer and stronger extending further into the newly designed drive cups that are now made of a harder steel alloy to avoid losing dogbones on maximum compression or extension. The arms and shock towers have been made of a new stiffer plastic compound and the tires are made of a slightly softer compound. All this adds up to more precise handling and less chance of damage, so the fun goes harder and longer.

The Basher 1/16th Mini MT features a 2 x 2S LiPo capable brushless power system, and puts all that power down through a solid 4WD drivetrain. With 4 oil filled shocks and heavy duty components, this truck can hold its own with the big boys!

As with the original Mini MT a cool feature of the V2 is the special wheelie bar with an aluminum shock absorber that can be tuned to push the truck back onto four wheels or to maintain a steady wheely. Perfect for avoiding the embarrassing walk of shame out into the middle of your local bashing spot or track to flip your truck back upright.

The attention to detail on this truck is extraordinary. The engineers and designers at Basher underwent an extensive testing and development process to ensure you many hours of uninterrupted fun. But it's an off-road monster truck so, eventually, you're going to break something so there is an extensive range of spares and upgrade parts in stock and all the parts on the V2 are cross-compatible with the original Nitro Circus Mini Monster Truck.

The Basher 1/16 4WD Mini Monster Truck V2 is the ultimate small scale basher with speed, durability, and all-around fun wrapped into one neat little package.

Features:
• Slipper clutch in the transmission and tougher transmission gears
• Stronger and longer dog bones and outdrives
• Powerful 2800KV brushless inrunner motor (water resistant)
• 35A brushless ESC w/ reverse (water resistant)

• Independent wishbone suspension
• Front and rear metal suspension arm holder
• Pre-installed wheelie bar
• Extra alloy shock for wheelie support
• 2 LED lights on the roll cage (Hell Seeker ONLY)

Hobbyking again..

 

ROAR Spec 4S Graphene 5Ah.

 

Normal price £97, selling at £47 each.

 

Hardcase, so quite big - 175mm long x 52 mm wide x 44 mm high.

 

I reckon it'll JUST fit in the X-Maxx battery boxes - but it'll be tight!!

Looked at those, odd that the new Graphene packs are reduced soo much though it's HK, so who knows.  I've not come across anyone using them yet,specs look good but even at half price there pricey compared to the Turnigy silvers (but only when there on offer - which is to be fair fairly often).

 

Had they had some 6000mah plus ones on (good) offer I might have bit.

Yeah.

I should receive them on Friday they say, so I'll know this weekend, possibly!!

 

5Ah is more than enough for me - don't like staying out with the same car / truck more than 15 minutes, as I start 'challenging' myself ... only goes one way ££££££££ !!
