Very nice car

Jul 17, 2017

Very nice car and a really good price for its size.
Things to know : shock absorber's oil too smooth & no user manual for the ESC.
Beside of these two little things, it's more than ok !
Great top speed on 2S. Perfect for me. Thanks !

Very good as base for a GPS-rover !

Apr 08, 2017

I use the Rattler as a base for my GPS-rover. It performs very well on 2s lipo. It can take some abuse and the speed on 2s is 50 km/h ! Here you can see the performance when driven by the GPS : https://youtu.be/L_Jshh8BfnU
Some minor issues : the motor fixation came loose, and I had a leaking shockmount. But this car is certainly value for money !

Für nen Anfänger mit Bastelspass

Mar 06, 2017

1. Fahrt Motoraufnahme gebrochen
2. Fahrt Mitnehmer Stift im Hauptzahnrad gebrochen
Mit 3S macht der Regler nach 2Min schluss weil dieser trotz offenem Dust-Deckel überhitzt.
Den Regler kann man wie einen EZRUN 35A Programmieren.
Der Servo ist natürlich nicht der Beste aber passt zum eher langsamen Grundsetup.
Wer etwas spielen will und spass am basteln hat ist damit gut bedient.
Optionale Tuningteile wüsste ich jetzt nicht, aber da passt bestimmt was von anderen Herstellern (vorallem die Lenkarme sind doch sehr schwach und fallen schnell ab, aber dafür brechen sie dann auch nicht.)

Out of the box this thing has been great. My 4 year old has been driving it now for about 6 months. The motor has required some tightening but that has been about it. Been running 2S as I prefer to have it last. I still have to put a block in the throttle so my son doesn't have 100pcnt. :) . Only part that has broken was the right rear tire support linkage. It pulled out. not snapped. after full reverse into my planter box.

Parts are hard to come by from HK. get on their waiting list and buy it when you get your notice. Otherwise you have to figure out which main brand manufacturer they cloned and order the real one at 4 times the price.

Over all great. Don't know how it would race, but it has been an absolute pleasure to bash around.

Wow is all I have to say, this was my first and absolutely not my last car from hobbyking. Now when comparing this beast to my SC10, revo, and slash, it blows them all away! not only with performance, but durability! My 9yo slammed a curb full speed several times before he broke an a arm... Oh no an a arm? Hmm Kyosho DRT, DBX, hello and thank you for easily available parts that fit!!

dbx 2.0 copy and can take most of the parts. quality is good for the price but parts are out of stocks for long times. I'd love to see all parts available in case I ever needed some.

I've been waiting for part for months now, there are no spare part available. DO NOT purchase this car, even if it's cheap, my recommendation.

Got this car the other day and I am loving it. Car is fun to drive especially on 3S.
Would have been good if the shocks were aluminum bodied shocks.
Car has good speed and has a light feel to it.

Suspension was OK out of the box. Was under dampene for bashing.. I replace the shock oil with 40 weight and it's much better.

The idea of a dust proof box is good. But if your ESC will overheat when running on 3S then why have it for 3S. Either remove the Dust proof box or sell with a higher amp ESC.

TIRES ARE OK. SOFT GOOD GRIP ON GRASS AND DIRT. Alot of plastic on this car but so far I haven't broken anything.

Initial use seems like a great buggy, missing a rear wing screw on box opening and ESC fan has stopped after first run. Is quick and handles quite well. 4.5 stars
