Oh How Original Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Looks like a really cheap Thunder Tiger IMO. Ugly shell as well. Fail Tekno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 No shell or wheels/tyres included, fully expect this to be around £500 like the rest of their range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'd like to see a rtr brushless MT with a capable 2 speed box. Really efficient and runs cooler on motors. MT tyres on a truggy hates grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty much my first question to tekno uk when I saw it. Followed by asking if they wanted to take it for a bash side by side with the MTe...

mydoddy69 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I like this a lot another swb monster with 1/8th parts for durability is always fun fun fun !! Not cheap though £389 and you still need electronics shell and wheels and tyres Blown my Christmas funds but this might be one for the Birthday list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 At least you can run the EB48SL body as a chassis protector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) I do like the looks of it and the 1/8th truck body looks better proportioned round the wheel arch area than on an official 1/8th. I think one of my D812 buggies is going to get a truggy face lift now. It's not in use so why not I'll have to see what I've got. Might have to use Trophy truggy front knuckle sets tho..... Boooooooooooooo. Edit: Product info sheet shows MSRP $749.99 Edited November 18, 2016 by dazp1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm broke atm so I've decided after mulling for months my spare D812 is getting the Muggy treatment after seeing this 6s with a 1700kv and already got shockwaves, talons, + grinders all on desperado's. It's a no-brainer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Not broke anything on my NT48 yet, it takes a lickin and keeps on tickin Plus you have a Warrantee on any part you break.

mydoddy69 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Well I just couldn't stop thinking about this it's been on my mind since I first saw it yesterday, so I've treated me and the boy to one for Christmas !

.AJ. Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'm missing something? Really don't see the appeal of a crappy looking MT shell on a Truggy? I would rather just have a truggy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost as bad as Krakens attempt at there 'no quibble' warranty where actually, they simply offer you a 25% discount on something that's about 50% overpriced anyway. 4 minutes ago, .AJ. said: I'm missing something?

Truggy would handle better, look a lot better and probably jump better due to the lower shell and less parachuting. They've obviously had Traxxas' pricing department on with this one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 What does this rig achieve that all others, of a similar platform, cannot? One would think that with owning the Hyper and Losi Ten, MT antics were covered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't come with a body, you pick your own preference so a stadium truck type could poss fit. No wheels/tyres or electrics either for that matter. It is pretty pricey but looks solid.

What we think it is and what they are calling it, are two different things. I'm calling it what they are calling it. Although either way I think it looks horrible myself.

Some might think your Barbarian build is just plan ugly as sin, and rather silly with its rather niche market, we just all have different tastes and out looks dosen't make one more right than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
