An amazing car with a very short life span

Feb 06, 2017

I literally only had this car for 3 days and it already broke. One of the wheel pieces that support it broke in two and now I'm stuck trying to fix it, return it, or sell it. I never ran it off the road, only on the streets and it was so much fun! But it sucks that it's made out of cheap plastic material... You don't need to buy an RC car transmitter. I used my Spectrum DX8 and it made it more fun because I could add more features to the car and program the turns better. I guess if you want to have to deal with constantly fixing the car, it's a lot of fun riding it around the streets, but what a letdown.... Not good for beginners just because of the cheap parts being used in the car. And using glue is a joke because there are a TON of moving parts inside of it.

Hot !

Bought it to drift in my basement, drive like hell ! Very happy with it.
On 2S 2200, runs great but ESC and motor are getting very very hot.

Do you guys have the same problem ?

Very fast and durable car, good value for the price. The lavsan body is soft, but during winter time it becomes fragile and easy to damage - so mind it. The repair parts are easily to find because there is Pilotage 1:16 car which parts fits well on the Rally Car. My ESC was burned out after some heavy runs, and I have replaced with 45A Hobbyking ESC, so now it has more power, yet I am not running on 3S LiPo like others trying to - to keep my diff, pinion and spur safe. If you are running on standart servo - I will recommend to put additional fan on the ESC to keep it working longer. I`ve replaced also steering servo because it was eaten away. And, finally, I have replaced original body with the HSP 1/16 Zillionaire. HSP`s honeslty is smaller than Rally Car so I have to cut some space for the wheels.
At the end - I like this car a lot, and it is my favorite for citystreet`s racing.

Love this car, very good build tracks very good, many spare parts. Points to consider: 8mm hex, would have loved 12mm, no spare bodies available, the stock servo is not good and has these weird dimensions so if you want to replace it, it takes some DIY

This is an amazing car for the price. The quality is great it is a very strong car as i have been giving it quite a bashing and it still holds up great. The motor is not too powerful but is enough to have a lot of fun. This car is good for beginners as it handles great and doesn't go too fast. It has very fast acceleration, it takes about 3 seconds for it too get too full speed. The tires grip well on road and on dirt. I would not recommend driving this in grass as the chassis is quite low and drags along making the motor very hot. The 2s lipo gives the car plenty of power and really makes this a fun car to drive. You can even use this car as a touring car as the chassis is the same as shaft driven touring car. The car is fairly light and the body looks great. This is an amazing car thankyou HobbyKing.

I love this car. So much that I purchased 2 of them. Super fun on a 2S. Quality is very good although the body tends to crack easily. Parts availability / upgrade parts is spot on. Had mine for 6 months. ESC and motor are still going strong. I use this for on road rally course driving. Drop a few R/C cones down in a parking lot and the fun never stops.

Reely nice car for this Money.
Qualitt ist recht gut, besser als erwartet fr so wenig geld.
Natrlich darf man keine wunder erwarten.
Ich mag das auto, genau das richtige fr zwischendurch.
Einzig der Topspeed knnte etwas hher sein.

The best cheap car money can buy. Runs great on 2S and runs hot on 3S. The difference with this car to other cheapies is that the chassis handles 3S and handles well with it. If you are thinking about it, buy it!
