Progress update...
The BX II is awesome! By far the best £120 I've spent in a very long time.. quick too
I've had issues with it already though. Firstly, the rear shocks were leaking when I opened the box... and after two short runs, 1 up and down the street, jumping off kerbs and the other in an open short grass field, the front shocks started leaking really bad too. The front left also locks in the fully compressed position leaving me running on three wheels. In truth, I knew I was going to have some problems, but I didn't think it would happen so quick, but the boys at Modelsport are on the case and have offered me replacement aluminium shocks free of charge.
As for the Master Smacker, I haven't had time to work on it too much other than building the front and rear diffs. Saying that, I have to strip them again as I didn't add any grease
Quality of the parts does seem a little better than the Phoenix, but the chassis has much more flex to it. Only time will tell how it performs, but for now I'm quite happy popping wheelies in the BX II
