Tbf the Helion looks to have the best elec's and nicest shell imo. Germans don't seem to rate them.

tomr Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The jlb does look to share a few bits to the Helion but the chassis are totally different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Interesting read up this, I'd be interested in seeing, side by side, a comparison with the amewi and the improved helion parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'd love to see a this go head to head against the cheaper Losi Ten MT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Sorry chaps, haven't had this out for a wee while..... We stripped the spur during excessive lunacy in the carpark, it is replaced, other things have got in the way I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretch Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Is there not much love for this? Most videos on YouTube are from Helion themselves. Still think they've overpriced it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 FP haven't sold any, possibly down to the price? Couple that with no spares support, makes for poor sales..... Helion must try harder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'm not surprised tbh. With their sensibly priced dominus and invictus models they've been silly with this especially as most of it is a rebadge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Yup, which is a shame as the company was beginning to show promise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It baffles me how brands make a model and then have no parts... Just make a couple extra and strip them I like the idea of a truggy again, but not at £299... Shame really as the Invictus seemed a very popular model.. Even Jang spoke highly of it!

stretch Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Thought I'd see if anymore bids on it and only ones are from Helion explaining how to change the servo or a bumper? Trying to increase YouTube exposure maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Drop the silly price tag add some much needed support and I'm sure there sell but at there current price and lack of support it's no wonder there stuck on shelves ! Lets face it even the Losi ten MT isn't cheap but it's cheaper than this has bettter parts support and is a much more established brand .. There both aimed at the same audience IMO so if Helion wants to compete it needs to get its act together .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said there must be a huge mark-up on them so it's anyone's guess why they've not tried to get some traction with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombercountynick Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I bumped into a chap in Laughton woods last weekend whilst taking my select four10 sc out funnily enough and he had one of these. Running on 3s it was a wheelie machine! I had a quick look over it and it looked well put together just like my sc. I asked if he'd had any issues or breakages and the only thing he had broken was a few lower arms. But like my helion had to loctite a few of the screws down. The styling on the truggy ain't to my taste which I think is one of the reasons it's struggling. By all accounts its a good little rig just not grabbing peoples attention enough coupled with the pricre tag. The short course is 100 quid less and although maybe not as rugged is probably better value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
