Overall an awesome buggy. I've given mine a lot of grief on dirt and on concrete jumps and no issues. Only thing I had to do was glue the tyres on. I also found that if you hit a curb at full speed buggy doesn't like it. Snapped my lower control arm but cheap to replace. After a bit of use, Eg forward then quick reverse the pinion Gear has started to wear, which is to be expected. Overall an awesome buggy for thrashing which can handle nearly every knock. If you have trouble finding parts just search for redcat shredder parts. Both cars are identical. Cheers

Nice for the money, bodyshel is rubish and we need an alternative!

Motor is too weak (kV rating is OK - just underpowered. Tends to overheat on the grass, on track OK

Plastoc parts also OK, maybe a little too soft. Good performer and alternative to e-revo for the budget minded bashers

Besteld en na 3 dagen binnen.Schokbrekers zijn niet allemaal even goed en lekken een beetje.
De esc is trouwens geen ezrun maar een xerun 80 A en met de 1500 Kv motor komt er toch behoorlijk wat power uit.veel meer punch dan ik verwacht had met een 80 A op 4s met 2 nanotech 50/100 C 5300.Deze motor ook uitgeprobeerd met een 150 A esc op 6 S. Met een watts up meter op 110 A en 1800 W, maar of het dan allemaal lang heel blijft valt te betwijfelen.Leuke grote auto voor weinig geld waar meer power in zit dan verwacht.

Ein sehr schnes modell leider hat es auch ein paar macken kann aber auch sein das ich mal wieder so ein Montags modell bekommen habe.



Das teil fhrt sich echt gut macht echt Laune aber leider ist mir bei der 1 Fahrt die antriebs welle hinten rechts im kugelkopf gerissen und das mitten Differenzial ist auch hops gegangen da es nur aus alu innen drinn ist und die stosdmpfer sind auch nicht der hammer da sie undicht sind und auslaufen leider.

Aber wie wir wissen gibt es ja nix fr diese autos im normalen modellbauladen zu kaufen und hier bei Hobbyking gibt es den kram nur international und ist nicht lieferbar wie immer.



Aber sind die kleinen macken mal behoben hat mann ein sehr schnes modell wo mann mit spas haben kann.

Ran extremely well straight out the box .I ran it on 2x 4s 5800mah 30c zippys in parallel which gave it a huge runtime. Only issues with this buggy is the body shell is very fragile and the servo is very cheap but other then that this buggy is great. i highly recommend this buggy

This is great! It is a fast and fun buggy. The quality is high. The big size means it will power over clumpy grass and things that stop smaller cars, so I can use it in more places. And it is fairly quiet (unlike the big fuel buggies, which are incredibly loud) so that also means I can use it in more places.
The suspension components etc are mostly plastic (unlike the 800 buggies which are mostly aluminium parts) but it is strong, high quality plastic. Everything on this buggy seems plenty strong enough to take the knocks. You will need to add your own receiver, batteries and transmitter, so make sure you know how to do that.
By the way, this buggy is designed to take 2 standard hard case car lipos, not soft cover airplane lipos. So don't choose the airplane ones even if the HobbyKing website suggests they are a good match. Buy any of the standard 2S hardcase lipos that HobbyKing stocks. For example I bought 2 of the the 5400 2S Zippy ones and they came with the right connectors already attached, nice.
Overall: highly recommended, an excellent buggy.
