Indie Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hi guys, Now I've had some money put to one side for one of these for a while and was tempted with the HPI Apache for a bit until I saw the review by Jang on URC. After I saw the review of the Axial buggy I really had to have a think of whether I'd put up with the Maintenance of it. I mean come on 16 Screws to get into the thing. So really I'm wanting to know: Is the driving pleasure worth the hassle?Is the hassle just as bad as they are making out?How badly cut are your hands from the battery tray?If you had the choice again would you still have one? I've had a quick scout of the forum but not found any threads on it (other than the original News thread). Also has anyone got any recommendations for this in terms of Electrics?

Evo_ermine Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 That battery tray on the Exo Terra looks a total nightmare doesn't it. Hard to believe they'd send it to market like that really. And the review of the Apache by Jang was very surprising. Not what I was expecting. Looks like a bit of a dud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I looked at both the terra and the Apache but after what i've heard and seen about both i'm saving my money and putting it in something else as both these have got mixed reviews but most favour on the side of bad but thats just my view for what its worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorrylemming Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I think the exo could be made a lot easier if you were up for cutting the cage and removing the interior detail. Jang left those on just to make the review fair but I think most people take it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djyjrlz Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 looking at the apache at my LHS it seems tough as hell, and they have said that the shop car is now an apache, apparently indestructible. it seems like the jang's view is a little biased, as he owns many traxxas's and associateds, and they seem to get great reviews, but he has a downer on anything hpi. i love to watch the reviews but its very predictable which way its going to go just by the brand :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
