The mugen mbx6 frot center cvd fit prerfect on this kit. Just want to add that. Nice video!

Nice one Rich. Great car, but you'll need to lower the chassis and raise the body. Bin the tyres and the crappy Deans plugs then you're good to go. Well, tyres will hold on 4S, but you'll destroy them on 6S, they are too soft. Oh, and you'll need some thicker oil in the centre diff.
Good to see you with something different and I look forward to seeing your videos on this one. Cheers.

That 150amp esc is a option norm comes with the 100amp. I got the 150esc sent from Hobao. This rc is tuff as nails had mine since its first release. But the tires no good on 6s. Just use the grp tires. I switched out bodies. Stock loves to catch wind and go air born..Proved that for poop's n grins in one of my vids. Yet you can slap all the way up to a 30T traxxas X)-1 pinion gear in this with either a simple mod of motor mount of if feeling lucky run with one bolt on the slide. Great Rc good review!

B great to hear the body shell scraping on the road

[fondfarewell]

looks like the esc is 3s and up, i know the old 150a was 2s capable. use to run them in short course truck on 2s and it works good.

Hi RC Network, could you please do a video how to raise the chassis height so it's not too low to the ground.
Thanks

[dannywilcock]

[rcjunky]

Nice car Rich, I hope you give us an idea of the top speed. I am really looking forward to the running video.

[ashirwadanand]

[jonathansalabarria]

on towerhobbies they have the hyper vte which goes for 489.99 and then they have the hyper vt for $739.99. what are the differences between the two? I am looking to purchase a 1/8th onroad.

thanks!

[wilsta]

why dont they use a two speed gearbox in the electric cars.

[HelterSkelter]

Wonder if they just copied the old airtronics 75mhz mx-3 or actually bought the molds.

Having a rpm of 2000/volt for this price range seems like a low blow.. or am I wrong here?

[NOFEAR]

Water proof reciever case? NO! Splash proof? Maybe, depends from the conditions you drive and the whether. And i am sure because i have Hyper SS Truggy witch use the same reciever box like this one. I wish it was water proof. But it isn't!

Nice video

Ehh... Not impressed. I'd rather just convert a 1/8 buggy. The drivetrain looks ok but the bod and the wheels are hideous.. I call it the Fugati!!!
