emptywallet Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I have two of these now. I have the 2nd as a stock back up, that I haven't used. Apart from using the 2nd shell which I wrecked after bashing a tree with it, the original has held up well considering I go hard on it. I have a have a broken parts list as follows. Hinge pins on the front arms x6. Front shock towers x2 (can be straightened) Front shock pins x3 Inner tire foams water damaged and replaced. (The car was totally submerged and kept going). Steering ball holders x2. Shell body x2 That's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Wheels Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Sounds like it could be a potential cheap basher, maybe, all those bits where mentioned by vas in his youtube review (aussie rc playground). I'm pretty sure he said there were uprated shock tower and shaft hop ups which fix the bendy issues there, shock pins can be had off other models that don't bend. He hit 67kmh with it stock too, does that sound right to you? Anyone else on here tried one yet? And Doddy, do you think you would stand by your earlier statement of buying one as a first/budget rig? Over a MT4? Only reason being I would want to buy a few spares with either and sort any recommended issues too and I'm just wondering if the MT4 will really be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambergang Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I want a mt4 G3 but this is around 150 cheaper and is really tempting me, I just don't want to break something and have to wait a age for it to come from hobbyking international.
