Just got an ECX Roost

[Reefguy89]

So i just got a roost for my bday. First impressions are its pretty sweet and the light bar is bright as poop. Now i havent been able to run it on a full charge because the charger it comes with takes 9 hours and i dont have a connector for my other charger yet.

Looks awesome, hope you had a good bday, cheers.

Nice truck! @Reefguy89 How does it handle on grass and dirt?

 

[Reefguy89]

Affter running ut the other day the only complaint i have is the shocks suck. Both rear shocks pulled free from the cap. So those are getting upgrade with something as soon as i find out what size they are. I think i can use parts off the ruckus for it.

Sounds like a nice little truck, I have a 1/18 ruckus. So far, I've only had to replace the servo.

Got my new shocks today. I went with the hot racing ones for an 1/18 ruckus. First impressions of them are they are really nice. Love the adjustability of them. I put softer springs for the fronts and stiffer in the rear. Then i filled them all with 50 weight oil. Now i gotta test it out.

Hot Racing makes some nice stuff. Be sure to let us know how the shocks hold up!

 

[i_r_beej]

Yep, would definitely like to know about the performance of those shocks.

 

[Turtle24]

I agree with i_r_beej i would like to know how the shocks perform, looks like a cool little car.

 

[Reefguy89]

Well so far the shocks work great. Now issues with break and it helped me gain a little ground clearance.
