Noj Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Sweet. Like the look of this kit, looking forward to the build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I fancied one of these but like you the price was stupid here in the UK and put me off .. Care to share a link to where you got yours . Look forward to the build pics as it does look a nice quality kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Same, gotta resist the temptation to start building till tomorrow lol First impressions are really good, plastics are really beefy, the shell is thickest ive ever seen for 1/10, the shocks speak for themselfs and the rear drive shafts are just like splined MIP's ohh and the 2.8" Trenchers look fantastic, I can see them going on the Wraith for a laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 That is a very very tempting buy! I've been wanting a nice MT for a while, I kept thinking about going down the Helion Invictus route, so once you've built it up, I'd value your thoughts on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Also AJ, were do you get your IP LiPos from? Can't for the life of me find anywere that sells 'em. I want to go with something quality for my SC10 this time around, Nano-Techs are nice, but I fancy a change, want to weigh up the prices of Gens Ace vs IP. Sorry for going slightly off topic.

.AJ. Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Can't comment on the invictus, I know nothing about it really, the IP's came from MB Models, they are distrubed by Schumacher, so most shops should be able to get hold of them easily And before anyone comes along and says SMC lipos are better, they should do their research and relise that most SMC lipos are rebadged/recased IP's Edited January 29, 2015 by .AJ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Nah I knew you wouldn't, I just mentioned that as the only thing stopping me is the fact it's 4x4 lol, I tend to prefer 2WD, so this MT could be just the job for me! And sweet, I'll check those out! Just need a change from hit 'n' miss Nano-Tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The German retailer's price is incredible, makes the kit superb vfm. My money says it'll be bashed before the weekend is out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea they are glued, I don't think there has been any UK stock of these at all, I know Proline are doing a second run of production at the moment, so hopefully they won't be too far awayThe German retailer's price is incredible, makes the kit superb vfm.

Noj Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The wheels, tyres, shell and shocks alone would cost more than half the kit cost, if UK sourced. You've a keen hunters eye, Mr Roberts, the Martin Lewis of MSUK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
