Monstrous Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 dont buy atech stuff, it is very very very very very very very very very very very poor quality and it usually has money saving ideas, like plastic motor mount, and a transmission made of butter Monstrous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipalli Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 come to think of it does look like a load of plastic the dogbones also look plastic to i'll still be keeping my mind on the zk-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 my LEO X had steel dogbones its a 4x4 mini monster and has just had teh chassis lowered for speed runs i also modded a cell pack for it and if you remove the 6 AA cell batter case you can fit two 7.2 mini t packs in running 1 mini t 6cell 1050mah it flys alog and has less weight to carry around. super charge this mini with a 8 cell pack and a graupner 300 bb this thisng will be like a mini savage on crack remember kids always check your esc can take the voltage of the batterys you use if not ask in the forum for advice on the best esc's that can take 12v power source TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 ok guys the first stadium truck picture is A-techs takeoff from the rc18t the second pic shows there mini 777 (half8) takeoff come on monster lets be fair all companys will be in on the 1/18th scale untill a new one comes out then they will all change again all cars are cheap to me (made) the reason is plastic is cheaper to use than alloy plus it is lighter this keeps parts costing down TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstrous Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 its not so much the fact of using plastic, its the quality of the a-tech plastic which is **** Monstrous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 well the Atech plasic parts havent caused me any problems and tbrh the plasic is of good quality too once the Atech leo x truck is finnished you will see what i mean, i have cut the chassis so this truck is half naked and i still have no chassis twisting. atech dont have much of a following but my little crawler may change that.

waz Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Yea those towers look very weak! I got flamed for critising this car on UK-MicroRC because it hant been released but still those towers are awful! It was origionally a Shumacher vehicle, I beleive this smaller company has bought the right to the car. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 heheehhe waz yup towers do look weak tbh but me thinks they will be ok with a few minor mean major mods mambas, lots of cells, an ukmicro to test them out hard stlye think i may get one if i shift my cars if not its maybe another mini leo x not sure yet maybe a inferno (half8) TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
