bertberr Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Will be interested to hear what u think of it... ever since our last banggood special 1/24 broke, we've been trying to decide what living room wheels to replace it with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'll post on here. It should be faster than the q32, it's got a Lipo in it. The q32's quite tough. Our little uns nicked mine ( he's 5( & he beats the crap out of all the rcs' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Famous last words re the Q32... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 The q32's lost forward drive. It's going back tomorrow. I've had a Google & it looks like they're "fragile" . I thought hpi were supposed to be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thing is it's not really an HPI, just an HPI branded micro buggy, of which there appears to be various identical looking ones from our Chinese friends for not much more than 10 quid on gearbest etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 I bought something similar a couple of years back. The plastic was like glass. I snapped a front A arm. No glue known to man would stick to it. BUT a named brand should last more than 5 cycles of the battery . The rear wing stops the back end hitting the luxuriously carpeted floor too hard. It's only been used in the living room. If a solder joint'd broke loose, it'd not have reverse... I broke solder joint'd in my micro t. But I jumped that down the stairs ( landed it too ?) . I'd accept that... But the q32 has only landed from 18 inches off the floor . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 The sc28's getting faster the more cycles that I put through it. I'm having to share because the q32 packed up . It flies well. Hasn't broken yet either . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 So... does the SC28 seem better quality than the Q32, or is too early to tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 The shell's definitely better quality. & little uns not broken it yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Its usually rhe gears that went in micro 1/32 things hpi copied. Revvel branded one looking like the hpi baja 5sc. Then another has them branded too. Wltoys L959 or L989 something. But theres a v1 cheapo one thats 27MHZ and all or nothing steering. Not the first time hpi has done it either. The hpi mini recon is really a "radio shack pro pulse 2" the radio shack one is much better soec with Ti upgrades available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) It's something electrical in this un. It's just got reverse.& that's not much fun. Especially for a 5 year old. It's going back today. I had one of the ones with All or nothing steering. It lasted longer than this un . But the front A arm snapped & was impossible to fix.

NOFX Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Just put a blob of vegetable oil on the rear suspension pivots on the sc28. It's like night & day! It handles so much better . Even jumps further & straighter. Anyone with a q32 or similar micro has got to do this. You won't be disappointed .I'm hoping for a refund on the q32. If it happens, I'll put the money towards an sc28 for little un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Just got an email from wheelspin. I'm getting a refund for the q32 . I'll wait until the associated mt28 is in stock & put the money towards that. Then me & little un can race round the living room 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Wheelspin have been really good . They're doing a full refund. Can't wait until the mt28 comes into stock. Pity even cml ain't got any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it'll have to go through paypal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Wheelspin held out on the refund because some pillock nicked the usb charge lead in the post . Theyve refunded for the q32 now. Anyway.... The sc28 is holding up well. The shocks fell apart because our little un kept driving it off the worktop onto the link at nannys house. Easily fixed . Other than that there's literally no damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yeah... because a USB charge lead makes all the difference to the value of a knackered Q32... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
