johninderby 2,727 Posted October 24, 2016 2s brushed with top speed of 18.6mph so not exactly fast. Wonder what the quality of the plastics is? Had to laugh at their desciption of a "large capasity" LiPo....1500mah. Still for 109 quid cheap enough. John Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mond 1,163 Posted October 24, 2016 I read on another site that this is just a rebranded car being sold for 50 euros more. Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj 5,636 Posted October 24, 2016 Rebranded AND green, which possibly accounts for the price difference? Takes me back to TH release day and a very sad Noj when he opened the box, realised a stock lipo wouldn't fit, stuffed one in anyway and then almost cried as it didn't perform.... BL converting one did not make the frown vanish.... 1 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johninderby 2,727 Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Spend a few hundred and I'm sure you could get it to perform a lot better. Oh hold it why not just buy something decent in the first place.

Noj 5,636 Posted October 24, 2016 Watched a video by the bloke who made the flamethrower, actually looks more impressive than the TH was..... There are plastic links where the original used proper turnbuckles, but for the money, are turnbuckles really an issue?? How often does the average basher alter them anyway?

kaylon 2 Posted October 26, 2016 Sure... It's a re-brand, and a wee bit more cash then WLToys... But it's expanding our options a bit, which cant be bad. Maybe it's got better electronics. Maverick and FTX are UK brands of HSP and Himoto but part of that deal includes improved electronics and even major structural changes such as the alloy and plastic composites. I own both Maverick and HSP chassis of the same car and I as far as I can tell the Maverick is a better made chassis, Everything is just that little bit better put together and better presented. Also re-branding means better options and choice for spares... Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
