Holy...they really stressed that poor thing for the vid. I was cringing seeing the wheel flexing like that. Either it'll break in a jiffy, or they've invented some new technology that allows the wheels to lean out of the curve - no, wait, that wouldn't be useful. Yeah, maybe some of the subpar parts could be switched out or make them yourself, at least that's what I'd do.
 
nice

Nice one:cool2: lads ive been looking for some vid on these to see how they are and that wheel problem dose not worry me at all.Just wait till they breack buy new ones.Any way i think it cant be to bad because the mcd are a bit to high in price and no motor no servos rtr it will do me

I can't help with what you would have to change, but I do know that it is possible because I have seen it before. Sorry, but I can't remember where.:(
 
Those wheels do have flex. Can't forget how the baja's wheels flexed when they were first released, and caused a few issues. I wonder what size wheel hexes they have? It would be nice if they had the same size as some other 1/5th's out there.

The price is pretty dang good on these. Just hope some of you who have/ordered one, will keep us informed about the quality of them.
 
new info

hi this i found very intrsting



I have a few of these machines which i imported from china to the UK but they are not branded FS RACING i meet a manufacturer at shanghai toy fair in oct 2007 he assured me that they had manufactured them i have the 2WD buggies and the 4wd monster truck i know its a copy of the MCD but is it made buy the company i meet or is it made by FS RACING? Does anyone have a website address for FS racing? Im pretty sure its made by the company i meet and possible branded as a FS RACING machine? Or have i been mislead and its the other way aroud? Any info would be good on this???

Anyway like i said a have 4 2x 2wd buggy + 2 x 4wd truck we have had them out 6 times now and and they have broke 4 out the 6 times. Firsty on the first shot within 30mins the monster truck when mental and stuck on full throttle ending up in a bush destroyed The is no fail safe on these so a stray signal or low battery can make them go full throttle ahead with no stopping it BEWARE!!!
Once i bashed the chassis plate back into shape and rebuild front end i ran a tank of gas thru without any issue on the next outing the GWS servo failed on both the truck and one of the buggies after replacing agin on the buggy with another GWS it fail again after 1hr use. The 2wd buggy only has space for one servo unlike the 4wd buggy and truck which have space for 2 like the MCD. The trucks arrived with only one servo they definately need two those wheels are big and its a must. So after purchasing 3 nice HITEC servos 1 for buggy and 2 for trucK we realised the servo hole was sligtly smaller and only Takes GWS servos another bad idea there is only 3mm difference so we filed it out and got them in since then the steering servo issue has been fine on both truck and car, might i add the other truck has ran with one GWS and hasnt failed!!!
So back on the track with 2 trucks and one buggy as the 2nd buggy has now been basterdised to death to keep the others running an expensive donor indeed but worth it for the fun factor. These things shift faster than anything ive seen are are quite well made apart from the electronics issues and some minor bad designed bits they have cut corners on from MCD.
So.......sorry am i going on a bit ahahah thought you guys might be interested before puchasing one any so after approx 4-5 hours use we started seeing play in the wheels on the truck which very quickly lead to the whole hub breaking off!!! the buggies are fine but the green monster truck wheels are really rubbish ive contacted my guy in china and they have fixed he mould and made it better the plastic was only 2mm where the wheel hub connected to the wheel you really would have to be stupid to design like this but they did.

So with 2 wheels down it meant one wheel was robbed from one truck to get the other running and the other buggy basterdised then there was 2 so out we went with 1 truck and one buggy after another tank i rolled the buggy at about 30mph it landed on its wheels but the throttle servo stuck on it then went mental flat out and rolled about another 3 times it was painfull to watch and i have it on video so will post it on you tube soon the end result was the throttle servo fail but it held up quite well considering.....The there was one we took it to show someone and fired it up in the street after a few mins again the trottle servo stuck it went on a death trip into parked car and hit the steel wheel and then there was none? When we got it home the throttle servo was burn out and frontend wasnt to bad. So after 4-5 hours we have kill all 4 of them 2 wheels destroyed 2 steering servos and 3 throttle servos various a arms etc but i must admit its been fun All in all with the following changes it is a great piece of it you can get enough off infact its took over my life for the past 2 weeks hence why im on line at 1am looking for info and better bits

So to round up the second generation i have order have these changes
1. New wheels
2. Fail safe fitted
3. New FM transmitter as first version were AM
4 Dual servo on both truck and buggy

I hope you enjoyed my novel have a look at my site www.kooltoyz.co.uk have more on route from china and loads of spares
