whitecitadel Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) That looks good no big bar up and over, out of stock but must be from “the usual places” in the Far East will dig around a bit.

I think it's price point puts it firmly in the buy and build on it category. I really fancy a 2-speed truck and the build kit is now under £200 on modelsport, I’m really very tempted indeed… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 its a good kit and you get a decent trail/crawler truck out of it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitecitadel Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) The body is a bit marmite, and angle dependant, not as good looking as the hundreds of thousands of defenders you see! £199 is a bargain, think I paid £40 more earlier in the year.

I’m guessing you mean £400, but bare in mind I’m looking at the kit, so still need to add paint and electronics - but still saving £130 off rrp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkbythesea Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 What is the wheelbase? Not listed on modelsport. Is it a standard 313mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That £50 saving will get a nice HW 1080 ESC with some change 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkbythesea Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I really am very seriously tempted and figure I’m already bought into 1/10 scale crawling in a pretty big way and can easily share wheels/tyres around etc With the DC1 as more of a trail truck in the quiver I could then concentrate on making the Sendero more crawling specific and the Carisma Rangey more of a scaler, and of course Krystal will always be Krystal…. 😂 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can sell it for £250, shipping is a bit high because I live in the netherlands but I can ship it for £23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 I haven't shown the DC1 much love lately, you guys posting gave me the push I needed to dust it off and take it out today 🙂 Some winch action 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
