jj Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hi all new to the forum and new to the hobby. Iv had nitro cars as a kid and electric ones what were *****. Coming back to it many years later how times have changed lol. This little banggood special is an animal 😁 not sure in how reliable these things are but will invest in a better one one day if I carry on enjoying the hobby. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Two main concerns with that brand are parts availability and will they keep producing them (the model and the spares). There's a few reviews on YouTube, seem a decent model for the asking price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So parts are pretty easy to get at the mo and I'm sure it be dead by the time they stop selling em so not a problem there. Loads of parts at banggood and a few other sites. I just broke one of the steering arms blooming curb [emoji24][emoji23] found a guy on ebay who had them got them today.

namastebuzz Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 They're pretty good out of the box but the main problem- as Tug points out - will be parts supply.I'd surf the forums and see what breaks most and stock up on spares. Plus it's no good having to wait weeks for parts from HK while your truck sits on the shelf.Banggood usually abandon or decrease spares support over time. There's no reason a hobby grade car shouldn't last a decade or more if it has spares support. Sent from my MIX2 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
