stretch Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 H.King Rattler 1/8 4WD Buggy (ARR) get ready to be bitten by the Rattler! This is a fantastic value for money 1/8 basher for anyone who wants some land based fun. Because everything is so super simple on this buggy it will take a lickin' and come out kickin' for hours and hours. It is made from lightweight fibre reinforced plastics which make it quick off the mark and able to handle the rigours of even the most enthusiastic basher. There are so many quality features on this buggy we couldn't believe the price ourselves; not only is it strong but it has metal gear diffs front, centre and rear, pivot ball suspension all round, threaded adjustable oil filled shocks, a dust proof receiver box that also houses the ESC and servo to help keep your electronics in tip-top condition and even a steel spur gear. With it's soft thick pin tyres this buggy is made for the dirt or grass surfaces you find in parks or vacant blocks of land. If you've got a patch of grass or dirt nearby and your into fast fun with a few bumps and jumps thrown in for laughs then this is the buggy for you.

Juggernaut jims Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Damn that sounds good for the money although the esc looks like it would do with an upgrade haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 40A ESC ..... er......seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Some bold claims in their sales pitch. Spares only available in international warehouse again but super cheap, 96p for an arm and fiver for shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Trouble with HK products is there habit of dropping model after a few weeks making it impossible to get parts. It's basically a lightly stretched 1/10 buggy, running electrics that are a bit weedy for the size. 2S LiPo and 40A ESC means it's either very light or very slow. Cheap bit of fun at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Ok sure it said some parts can use kyosho parts as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Another stretched 1/10 to make a light weight 1/8, fitted with 1/10 electrics. Cheap, but I think I'll give it a miss.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoodoo Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 ... but I would not buy a product made by HK like this without some kind of assurance that parts will still be on shelf in a few months time. They drop stuff so fast never to be seen again Jeeze,I best buy a load of BSR Basher gear before they go missing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the BSR range will buck the trend, especially with Team C selling cars on the same design. I tried, and failed, to raise interest in the electrics, in order to buy a second one for spares when they we're on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCpete Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) That is the front and rear of a Kyosho DBX VE! But everything in between is different. Edited September 17, 2015 by RCpete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
