I saw the video yesterday and TBH I feel he is lucky to even have a chance of survival after such a horrific accident.. My thoughts are with Jules and family and hope he makes it through....

Well I have had my Vandal for a couple of week now and have drove it, broke it, fixed it a few time now so here is my review of it.. Now I got shot of my old truggy and was recommended the vandal (KIT) by a member on here. Upon looking its seems a good bargain and from the UK warehouse at

Fixed it......drove it......bent it.....not been my week for RC's......Ho hum at least I can laugh about it... Posted by me ????

Well with a bit of work..i repaired it not sure how but its good straight and seems strong. . But steering servo has been damaged..workable, but does need a new one........doh...metal geared one on order....

Park....35mph.....metal post....home....nuff said....lol

Well that ended quickly. ...lol..by a metal post..... Knacked lower A arm Bent suspension leg Mounting on diff case broke Removed my front bumper All in all a good hit....so to speak.... Thankfully a arms were already on order as 8 have order a load of parts i think i might break, have another set of suspension legs..will try gorilla glue for the casing as i have stuck other stuff and its proven to be super tough.

New steering servo fitted it's an original ftx vantage part, although speed is 0.12sec it a darn sight faster than my old one and general travel distance is loads better....which tells me the old one had really had it... Posted by me ????

This person this morning in Braintree obviously needed a rest break and couldn't find a layby so parked it here.....LOL

Hopefully, new steering servo to get me out and about at the weekend.....want to make sure my glued tyres can hold on....

Nope, SWMBO is adamant

Gorilla superglue......My god that's good sh...stuff....just glued my rear tyres back on the rim, after good clean with white spirit and stuff. Posted by me ????

I brought the Quantum Vandal as a kit from Hobbyking...the RTR version (not sure about the electrics that come with it but believe its all Turnigy Trackstar stuff) and is only about

I agree steer clear of the two you have listed, as they use the same parts as TAMCO, and if you break it you will struggle to get parts for it. I know this from personal experience.

Dead steering servo....took it apart and smells like a small electrical fire...so guess what's on order...shame as yesterday done a order with hobbyking....doh... Posted by me ????

Right the Mrs. say I have

Went to the skate park today in the Vandal....and my my it jumps very well (used nimh packs)...took a few hard hits and has now an intermittant right hand turn issue...and pop a steering arm out (put back in in 2seconds) and pop a tyre of a rim that i tried glueing a couple of days ago...other than that performed well. Got the the hang of blipping the throttle in flight to get a better landing angle too... Have video but need to crop it to the highlights which i will do later and post.

I run mostly on grass and wet and dry I am constantly doing a pit stop to clear grass wrapped around the dog bones off think it's that that bends them...Skate park tomorrow at lunch time weather permitting. Posted by me ????

Here is mine.....

Next years project then, but I'll try and got down the track and meet a few of the people and see what's what.

Ordered for the vandal. 3x spurs 2xdogbone rear Cvd set Sway bar upgrade Lipo cell checker and alarm Spare front a arms Spare slipper clutch set So nice to be able to order spares without having to trawl the internet tring ti find bits.. Also contacted my local BRCA club which is the Colchester Model Car Club about joining, will let me go 3 times for racing in the novice class before joining so might brush up on my skills and go and see what they do and stuff.

Put in storage mode, as I have bent the front cvd and a rear shaft....so won't give it full beans till they are back in shape. But all seems just fine with and it balanced and got to their 3.8v with out issue. Posted by me ????

Think i might get a new motor combo with a 3mm shaft then all my probs are solved Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

That's what I have found.......The help stuff is perfect, but the tooth counts don't go that high.... Posted by me ????
