Oh How Original Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 First you should drive it dude... I'm yet to find a decent review were the person actually enjoyed driving one lol, that was about 12 months ago though when I was on the hunt for one myself, but I was put off by the way it seemed to handle (it didn't) Would love some feedback of what you think after a few good spankings.

Yeah mate i will give some feedback 100% Thing is I'm only going to be bashing it and not racing so should have a good idea on what its like as a basher and then over time I'm gonna be upgrading and that so will obv want to change for some longer arms and shafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 A wider track will probably be a vast improvement. Subbed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH OH ME ME ME. I really enjoyed mine. Put it on a BMX track, no fun, put it on a skate park, no fun. Get it on a nice grass, or dirt area, with nice undulations, and humps to jump from, MASSIVE FUN. The key to enjoying an Apache, is find a scale running area. You can't treat it like a Vorza, or other 1/8 buggies. They are not as fast as the Vorza, but fast enough for serious fun. I am still kicking myself for selling mine, but needed a new short course for racing. Edited February 24, 2015 by bigoggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebby Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Oh no took it for a quick spin and POW! Run into a Micra back wheel at 3/4 speed on 4s Walked over to inspect the damage reversed the Apache expecting an arm hanging off or maybe front tower ripped off and YEY! Nothing but a scratch on the plastic cage on the side I can honestly say I'm gonna have some fun with this it feels like my old Losi 8ight-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
