Took it out and ran it for a while, and a couple things are instantly noticeable.

1. The stock tires are too small for how much power it has. Wouldn't be so bad if the truck weighed a bit more, but since it is so light it doesn't get traction.
2. I'm going to have to rearrange the electronics because it pushes out on the roll cage making it too wide to clip onto chassis.
3. The shocks don't have any oil in them so it just bounces over bumps. And also the springs in the front are a hair too stiff for my liking.
4. A combination of tiny servo and not a heavy enough oil weight in the front diff cause it to power steer quite a bit. But that is a very common problem with these short wheelbase 1/18 scale rigs.
Overall conclusion: For me it is a blast to drive, it is super fun for cruising around the yard or even the house if you wanted. The price point is definitely the biggest selling point. Especially with the inclusion of a remote and a 2s lipo/charger. It also was super fast shipping. I ordered it on the eleventh and it is here in the thirteenth. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

It arrived fast and despite the car being loose in the box it came in everything was there, and the car is great. I had to fill the shocks with oil, and charge the lipo and then it was no hassle fun. Search Basher Pitbull 4x4 from HobbyKing for the video I uploaded. Great car at a great price.

I purchased this car for $105, then the following week it is listed for $60. Customer service told me to kick rocks and there was nothing they could do to lessen the pain of my wallet being raped compared to anyone else who buys this car now, when I asked about it. I am never buying anything from HK again and will NOT recommend this business to anyone ever again.
