Finally got mine to try
Ill be honest its No durango and it has not been made to be. Its meant to be a good introduction to racing. And in that sense it is way beyond its remit
There is alloy where there needs to be, no fiddly eclips. Whishbones pins long screw and bolt type. Totaly secure ! everything looks purposefull and will do the job.
I junked the standard radio gear of course. But looking at the one that comes with the kit I am amazed at the settings you can adjust ??? EPA adjustments throttle hi points etc WOW !!!. Im sure the speedo and battery and motor will make it zip nicely.
I threw in my LRP speedo and for now 8.5 X12 and one of my Lipo's. I changed the pinion but as soon as i started the car it made horrible noises. Im not sure but i think the pinion and spur are the old .6 module type. A little thicker and more robust than a .48dp. We shall find out. It might be an easy swap to another manufacturer. I put the kit pinion back on and the car was now smoother and quieter. Its a little noisy compared to a ball diff car its about the same as a durango. It did get smoother and quieter near the end of the pack.
Handling is really good for an out of the box RTR ill go out on a limb and say its not far off my durango but we will have to wait and see . The big shockers really smooth it out. It I had to tighten the slipper 1/2 a turn and after it shoots off like a errrr Durango ! I just love geared diffs
braking was excellent and as time went on it became smoother.
It was dry outside on the road and dusty so I couldnt really judge the turn in but I never struggled around my usuall lap around the lamposts!! HEHEH
I felt like a kid again for 20 mins before the speedo told me the battery was ready.
Nothing fell off or came loose and the kit tyres are awsome. Some to try at all tracks especially Robin Hood !!!! going to do a strip down tommorow and changed some oils.. Roll on Sunday !!!! the 410 is ready in the wings but im not worried about blooming drive shafts anymore HEHE
And unlike me when racing I gave it some right stick everywhere !!!!
