So today felt like it would never come, but it finally did! Upon cracking the first box open and getting to the second one the packaging was very neat and clean.. the truck was shipped inside of a box inside of a box, with precut foam holding it in place.. for first run I put in a 2s battery and let me tell you, she rips in high gear.. plenty of drifting jumping and crawling fun to be had!!
The initial setting on the ESC were not desirable but it is programmable both remotely with a card and on the unit with button presses..
Once I got it dialed in with my likings, I hooked it up to 3s and once again SHE RIPS!!
It’s fun at high speeds, with some suspension tuning and maybe something like a hobby wing fusion pro it would probably be a decent crawler..
It felt like it wanted to do more racing and bashing than slow crawling, at the slightest sign of strain in the motor it would throw the esc off to where you have to cycle power..
All on and all this is one of my favorite all around vehicles right now..
I was skeptical because there are no parts available yet, but upon arrival the unit is just over 13lbs and every crucial part from gears, links, and bell horns to shock bodies are all metal..
The locking front and rear diffs are cool because you can lock in 2wd, 4wd, just rear or rear and front..
Lots of fun to be had with this unit and am very impressed with the feel, looks, and features for $500
