[DougStar]

products aren't bad

Lol they make the best 1/5 on the market hands down???

 

[Z.hb71]

This may be true but...... they do have some of the best products on the market

Not in 8th scale, Mugen,x-ray,tekno,serpent,ect are just as good of not better

Lol they make the best 1/5 on the market hands down???

Technically there is no "best". Best value, sure but best overall is vague and can be different from person to person.

when you get into the 1/10 & 1/18 race kits its hard to buy a bad car from the top manufactures to be honest.

I have worked on or owned many TLR,XRAY,SWORKZ,SCHUMACHER,NUGEN, TEAM ASSOSIATED, etc cars and all were well built. sworkz was a bit cheaper feeling than the rest but that's not to say it will be any worse than the rest.

different people have different experiences, my TLR 8IGHT 3.0 I raced for two years and hardly had to replace a single part that's worth mentioning. but others at the same track had big issues braking arms etc which never happened to me. I have a smoother driving style than some
I had suspension arms bend but not brake. things ware out over time but that is to be expected with the amount of abuse these kits get.

if you are not bothered about scale looks than a 1/8 race spec buggy or truggy is the perfect basher.

don't get cought up in "I must have the latest kit as xray bring one out every 12 months with minimal changes lol

Looks like it's in good condition, does the engine run? Comes with starter box ? I'd do it, even if the engine didn't run you could prob manage to get a motor right ? since it's super cheap (depending on what u call cheap, to me 350 is cheap for a complete ish truck with start box)

Guy says motor runs x2 set tires

Is it s local deal or online? Cuz if its local, check the compression, if its hard to turn over by hand via the flywheel the compression is probably ok, but other than that, looks like it's a very solid rig, ESPECIALLY for only 350 ?? the only thing I see that I'd change is the air filter foam but that's like $3.

There was talk that that model wont eccept a pull start engine!

 

[Z.hb71]

Yeah it won't, that's why it includes a starter/bump box for the bump box engine that's in there.

 

[crucialRC]

It will as long as you change the engine mounts, but why would you?

Any batts come with it?

 

[Z.hb71]

, but why would you?

+1 bumpbox is so much better than PS and roto start, less load on the engine, no air leaking back plate since it's fully sealed ? much better, sure you have to carry around the big bulky box but imo it's worth it for less headaches and BS

 

[cbaker65]

Whoa ,I am just merely letting people know ,but I already know about drag ,it doesn't bother me to have a
pull or roto ,I still have my fun!...

 

[Seandonato73]

Yeah I've had plenty of pull and roto starts myself and only ever had issues with one engine and it was just a crap design to begin with. Never had an untunable os or novarossi with a pull start. Just my experience....
