Ich habe den Truck vor gut einem Jahr gekauft und in der Zeit häufig mit meinem Sohn auf einem Schotterparkplatz durch den Staub gejagt. Der Wagen macht fahrtechnisch besondere Anfänger Spaß. Er ist flott unterwegs und trotz Plastikausführung robust. Das Bashen sollten man allerdings im Rahmen halten.
Folgende Nachteile sind mir in der Zeit aufgefallen:
Durch den offenen Antrieb bleibt es nicht aus, das sich Steinchen zwischen ritzel und HZRad vergangen. Hier muss man öfters ran.
Der Servo verklemmt manchmal bei vollem Einschlag.
Ersatzteile sind nicht im EU oder UK Warehouse und somit durch die Versandkosten recht treuer.

Insgesamt ist der Wagen für knapp 60€, die ich bezahlt habe absolut brauchbar, darf aber natürlich nicht mit einem Losi Mini 8ight oder 1/16 Slash/Revo verglichen werden.

This the second time I have to return this Truck, It was my son birthday present and He cant even use it, I already spend $13 sending back the first one, now I have to spend $13 more, total of $26 usd plus the cost of the truck and hobbyking do not care about that, I want total refund of my expenses in store credit, to see if I can find here a better truck for my son . This truck is a fraud to the consumer and will figure out the way to write a letter to Anthony about this, hobbyking is not anymore the place it was.
Buy one from Walmart and I bet the quality is a lot better. !!
One start is too much for this piece of..........s......

Right... really mixed feelings at this stage. The truck is super quick and plenty powerful. However, one of the steering ball joint connectors broke after less than 1 minute of riding (on grass), which resulted in an almost lost drive shaft (took us 30 mins to find it). Managed to find a replacement ball joint connector and then drove it only on the road. Drove over the kerb (not a vertical obstacle) and snapped the front suspension arm...... aarrgh! So we have had less than a single battery through it and have had 2 significant failures. My son is devastated as its going to take us time now to get spares in.

That being said, when it runs, its amazing quick and my son has the biggest smile on his face. Heres hoping that the spares that come in are of better quality than the originals and that we get some decent runs out of it.

This is a good beginner car. But i would recommend buying some extra dogbone's, because the 2 in the front wheels can be lost very easily and then your car won't drive as good anymore.

Very nice car - you get a lot for the money and it is very fast -even on 2S. But some original parts are not so good. The chock absorbers are only springs - have no oil inside so I recommend to change these - see list of spare parts for this truck and HK have front and rear aluminum shcoks rear version is SKU: 1182023-33256 and front version SKU: 1182023-33255. But they came without fastening for ball joint on upper part so I used silicone tube and a washer screw to mount them. See my instructions on file section. These shocks makes a big difference. Also the out drives from the gear boxes are in plastic and you will loose the dog bone shafts very soon. So I erecommend to change to the steel version
SKU: 1182023-33335. You need to buy 2 sets to change all 4 plastic outdrives

Bought this for my Grandson who the broke both front wwish bones. There are no replacement parts. He enjoyed it while it lasted as it was fast and responsive but this is another one of Hobbyking's model with no after sales service.

Nice car, technical equipment (motor, ESC, servo) o. k., but several parts of minor solidity compared with other HK cars (e. g. Monster Beatle).
