Just the trail mode that has more dragbreak afaik, not a selling point HW1080 is far superior. Massive price hike on these too 😞 do like the chrome wheels and diff covers tho.

Overall they are a super solid truck, ive not had any servo fail yet and its not been treated kindly 35mph into a parked car, many big hill rolls and only replaced the front axle housing after the high speed crash. The stock esc does the job as does the motor, Pretty sure @Iain .R is still running my trx4 motor in his outlaw and hasnt melted yet. Reliability 9.5/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
