While waiting for the 210 to be released I bought a 22 and was so disappointed with many aspects of that kit, in particular the almost impossible task of fitting in the electronics into such a ridiculously confined space – shorty lipo’s!!!.

I found the 210 build a breeze. Sure, the manual was incorrect, but I just went by the pictures, found the right parts and hey-presto job done.

At a few pounds/dollars/Euros over many of the conversion kits, which also require a donor car, I think the 210 is fantastic value. It works out of the box. OK, there are a few week points e.g. rear shock tower and steering link in particular, which you soon fix with hop-ups. However, I’d bet there are fewer hop-ups which are really needed for this buggy than most others on the market.

Having said all of that, I’d agree that for an extra £10-£20 it would have been nice to have the shock alu bottoms and 410 shock stand-offs as standard. I’d also pay an extra £6-8 to have a TD equivalent for the brilliant Tresrey rear hexes’.
