    Notes:

    • Must turn on the transmitter before starting the ESC.
    • ESC Supports XT60 Connector
    • The ESC does not have lipo cut off. 
    • While some components may come assembled, it may be in your best interests to check the products to ensure all hardwares are tight. In some cases you may want to apply threadlock to some of the hardwares that were already installed.
    • Use good quality hex drivers to avoid stripping screw heads.
    • Use thread lock when putting metal screws into metal parts.
    • Steps marked with an asterisk (*) require threadlock.
    • Use threadlock sparingly.
    • Do not over tighten screws, otherwise, you may strip the thread.
    • When you raise the rear dump, do not leave it at the highest position. It will create a lot of pressure and potentially blow up the oil tube. Stay no more than 2 seconds and drop the dump to a lower position.
    • Do not use hand to pull the rear door. You will break the door locking mechanism.
    • Do not use more than 3S battery. (11.1 volt(s))
    • Once the hydraulic cylinder (dump) reaches its maximum height, do not push further.
    • If you want to remove the fire extinguisher, just turn it 90 degrees, then pull it out.
    • This product is for experienced R/C users. Not recommended if you just started with R/C.
    • The axle hubs can be screwed off  but may require nylon tipped pliers if they are on really tight.
    • Speaker included, but sounds unit sold separate. (VVV-S0074)

    This comment also throws doubt on certain components longevity....

     

    Then whilst admiring the highly detailed model.....I see a finish like this below...

    Not what I'd call 'quite up to par' for the large pricetag.....

     

    Wonder how it squares against a tamiya??

    One of the guys at our truck club has the hydraulic hihab with grab and forks controlled by a spectrum DX 1 million or something daft, the controller was 2k and the truck 7k euros.

    I was shocked, but felt sorry for the guy because one of the hoses start to leak.

     

    So it had to go back to Germany for repair.

    Some of the guys there are really into it cash wise big time.

     

    This is my Scania R620 truck tank transporter with the Sherman firefly ( fully operational) on board from about 1 min 10 sec in

    Leyland though......what a dump....



    It doesn’t bounce well, I’ve only ever drove through leyland to get to the sports hall, my Sherman running 3s and can do doughnuts if that counts.
