chady Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Iv read somewhere the parts from the hpi Apache are a straight fit.Problem with that I suppose is with the hpi Apache being discontinued the parts will dry up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin28 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I've got a 1/18th scale WLToys A979, It takes a hammering and just comes back for more. The plastics are flexible, not brittle so not had anything break yet apart from cracked wheels (what do you expect when launching off skate ramps at top speed and landing on concrete ) and a couple of diff output drives (made of plastic on this truck) In total its cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The apache was a terrible buggy with very poor handling....can't imagine anything based on the same design being any better tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chady Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Iv seen a lot of the reviews for the Apache noj there not very glowing I must say.But I wouldn't be blasting it round tracks so the handling issues wouldn't really bother me.It Would be driven more in a scale sort of environment,I just love the looks.

Its just a basic 2 channel one with trims for throttle and steering, that's it. Though it does feel nice in the hand. I''m happy with mine, considering what i paid. The only issue is that spares are from china, so if you ever got one, you may want to order some in advance or wait a couple of weeks for them to turn up. Parts are dirt cheap though. a complete diff is less than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
