Not bad,  they are just a crawler with a cage, so a bit top heavy but also something different. Few of us have them, heres an owners thread.

They're pretty good, they aren't as top heavy as they actually look, that said I have broke mine a few times and the senior engineer for Associated told me they know of a brittle issue with the plastics, well the 'hard' plastics anyway.

That shows even more in the new Sendero HD release, they've made the plastic somewhere in between normal and hard according to John Schultz.

I would recommend them, but don't bash it lol.

I say absolutely its always a worthy upgrade. PowerHD are great too i think they are equal to the old savox 1256tg benchmark servo. 20kg with 0.17s ish, perfect servo. 

Keep the standard servo though if you ever sell refit that and use the powerHD on the next rc. Thats what I'm doing now with all add ons that can carry over will carry over. 

upgrading the servo on my granite was the best thing i ever did used as savox one!

banggood have some really good £10 20kg ones which i have on order

Anything I’ve ordered that’s time sensitive never turns up on time or goes missing at the moment,  but any odds and sods turn up quickly..... 

might get delivered today?

@froggy8 its mental! think of a not so crappy savage XS that's really good, I've gone straight to 3s & used two 5000mah packs-lasted ages, it wheelies for miles but I haven't got the ramp out yet to test the jumps, but so far its been great fun, id does get a bit hot on 3s I noticed- so I will take the temp gun next time to check, overall I don't think there is any 1/10 4wd to touch it & I did a LOT of research (as you all know!!)

cheers mate, realised lastnight that its a 10th scale but i like 10th scale, reminds me of the hyper 10tt.  dare you take your new granite to the wall of death  

I’ll do a few jumps & flips & wheelies- but I don’t bash the snot out of my trucks @ skate parks I’m afraid!

Built like a tank this feels like!!

now to decide. Ditch the stx2 straight off or give it a chance & make up my own mind?

selling it will recoup a few £

Clean up my DX4C or buy a FS GT5 is another option..

@mydoddy69 this is the issue, its a lot of wedge for something that should be a £250 plastic fantastic rtr, but hey ho, it has great reviews- beside the tx rx

@mydoddy69 if the TT mt4 g3 was still available id have one like a shot, I love the thunder tiger brand, still have an old ST-1 in my shed, great trucks.

Unfortunately Thunder Tiger these days is just that - just another 'brand'  Not a lot of innovation any more.  My little 12th scale Hilux crawler had a load of issues out the box, not so much QC more poor design.  Oh well, most have been addressed now, but makes me a little sad when I look at it and think of an MT4...

Replaced my DX3C with a Flysky GT5, pretty good so far and 6ch, turnigy GT5 Rx work and about £14 

dad has the dx3s and replaced it with the 5c i think, his old dsm2 receivers didnt work though on the european one , apparently if he bought an american one they might off worked

on the plus side he gave me a ton of dsm2 receivers for my dx3c 

Thanks guys I’ll take a peek at the flysky & dx5

I’ve spent about £1400 with MS since lockdown began. Don’t tell the missus though 😬 Service has always been spot on.
