And for the money they are pretty good, no worse than anyother 1/5 of the same money Edited January 9, 2016 by .AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Just now, .AJ. said: Ehh? Not exactly a dead horse if they just released a new one... But they seem to get slated a lot. Didn't you sell one recently? Hemistorm hated his, didn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Why did I sell mine then? Not because it was rubbish and tbh that Hemistrom review was the only bad review you will ever find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover Man Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 So for £150 extra you get a painted shell and a filter that no one runs off road ? Interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) I would wait for a price drop, I'm guessing when the old one has sold out (if it has been discontinued) then this would then be around £600 Edited January 9, 2016 by .AJ.

Gaz! Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Looks nice but not worth the extra money..... i have to say it's a good looking truck is the dbxl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lel-95 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'd like to see how that filter performs, genuine oiled K&N's are miles better than the cheap K&N style filters that are normally used. It'll probably be stupidly expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I hope somebody has put some research into the terrain people typically take that kind of RC vehicle, and the suitability of the air filter applied. True, 'we' normally use 'K&N Lookalikes', but I thought the 2 main descriptions of K&N filters are durable / washable, and freer-flowing (meaning more-open pores to permit more air, and dust, in ...). Big ? Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylon Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Would it not be better to put another couple hundred towards a XCR-1000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylon Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Would still rather tack a gamble on the XCR, From pictures alone the quality looks far better, Also the engine is 260 quid on its own, I know you still need radio, But 2 Savox and a Flysky have that covered for 140 quid.

.AJ. Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) The front has CVDs so they can't pop out, the couplers ain't a huge problem when left as a gasser Edited January 9, 2016 by .AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the couplers on the shafts from the centre diff to the front and rear diffs. The pins come out which I believe is a well known problem. I replaced mine with the Team Hoonage Five version.
