I bought this buggy thinking what have I got to lose for the price, boy was I surprised when I get a super durable awesome handling machine! I run mine on 3s and it is stupid fast!! The ESC says 3s up to 13.5 turn but I can tell you the 12.5 turn motor with the stock gearing is fine, even running in 95 degree Atlanta heat. Put some 10k oil or so in your diffs for instant handling improvement. I also have ordered and recommend sway bars. This is an awesome RC for the money, and is fully upgradeable. A from me! (Occasional cogging but doesn't bother me as I just bash.)

This buggy is awesome, and own associated products as well. Capable of 3s even in 95 deg. Atlanta heat. Super fast, handles great, 10k oil in diffs and swaybars are first things to upgrade, even better, also is durable.

Just got my Vandal today, and WOW what a fun buggy! I'm running a Turnigy 2S 5000mAh 60c lipo, and it's a blast!
I double checked the screws, wheels, etc... to make sure it was good to go, and it was perfect.
I added a receiver and battery in less than 5 minutes and was driving it around in no time!
I have read other reviews, and there have been complaints about the shock shafts bending. I took it off some big jumps and flip/crashed quite a bit, and the shocks are just fine, so maybe they changed suppliers.
I do plan on changing out the shock fluid though, the stock stuff is too "bouncy"
for me. I also plan on running some 30K weight gear lube, as these come with a pretty generic grease.
Overall, this buggy is an OUTSTANDING car for the money. I will definitely be buying two more!

Was recommended this as the best beginners RC offroad car. It is great. Drives very fast, goes around 50 km/h on 2S, not tested on 3S. It is stable, does not easily flip over.

On my 2nd run, I hit a large stone and need to take front apart. Not sure if I need to replace anything, but as recommended elsewhere, I also purchased parts for $20-$30, so I am ready for the parts that normally breaks.

I run it with a Turnigy 20C 5200mAh, good for half an hour on the first session. Not sure why anybody would buy a 4000 mAh to run in this. The 5200mAh is a perfect fit.

Der Wagen selbst macht einen recht guten Eindruck. Wovon ich sehr enttuscht bin bin, ist der Regler und Motor. Ich konnte vielleicht gerade mal 2 Min. in der Grundeinstellung fahren, wovon mir auch laut Live-Chat geraten wurde, als ich nach der Programmierkarte fragte. nach zwei Minuten qualmte der Motor heftig und es kam nur noch ein zucken an die Rder, dann war vorbei. Anfangs tippte ich, wegen qualmenden Motor, auf einen defekten Motor. Jedoch hatte der Regler zustzlich versagt. Mal unter uns: echt traurig!!!!! Habe mir mehr von den Komponenten erhofft. Kauft lieber nur den Kit, dann knnt ihr die Komponenten selbst nach der Qualitt whlen.
