Look what arrived today 😀
Haven’t really had a chance to play with it yet. The TX is pretty cheap, and the charger is just a battery box. But the car itself looks to be pretty nice quality. It even comes with 16x AAs.

first up, congrats! you gonna be real happy with that:beer:
the following is from experience, i don’t own one but i played with one.
the tx is a bit clunky but it’s very good quality.
the charger actually is a peak charger, but not a very good one. you’ll get way more runtime and performance from those cells using a proper charger.@merc, the included combo rx/esc is actually pretty damn good! i used my 3pk when i drove one, i was amazed that all i needed to do was adjust the steering trim and it was dialed in! resolution is real good, has a brake (that works in forwards and reverse!) comes with a double stack of fets which you could upgrade with fets used in z’s. (be warned if you do, they used lead free solder on the pcb so you gotta heat it up more. proceed with caution.)
and i don’t think you would need lipos once you see this little bugger in action, it will flip on it’s back with the slipper tightened up! and top speed is excellent, definately above 20kph.p.s., when you bust a tie rod make new ones outta zip ties:topstuff: :8ball:

About $140 AUD.

Yep I’m just waiting for the original ones to break. They’re really really flimsy.

wow,
After the Mini-T (out of the box disaster)
i was expecting some teathing problems on this thing aswell,
But if a “clunky” TX and flimsy Tie rods are the only problems
Then losi should be on a real winner
It wont take long for alloy tie rods to be avalible,
and for the TX do as betty did use another one
