Santa did good this year, and my son is tickled to death, especially since I was good too and Santa brought me a similar truck to drive with him.
Didn't get much test time with them, but what little I did get, they are just what I wanted.
I did purchase 2 8.4v NIMH hump packs, I didn't realize at the time they were hump packs, but that's what you get when your in a hurry.
Yeah, I know they aren't lipo's, but baby steps.
I must say with the 7cells, and 8.4v, they hump right a long.
I have noticed a couple of things that need addressed, at least for me.
Mine is an older version, Gen 1? so to speak. It has insane front wheel walk when reversing. I also noticed on my sons brand new truck the steering is mediocre at best.
The front ends on these things are fairly light compared to the back. The radio steering end points are set to max, but the wheels don't turn very sharp.
You almost have to hit the brake to get the front end to drop to get it to turn easier.
Also the shock oil in the new one, must be very light oil, not much damping, need to tweak them some.
The cost and effort was well worth it. Upgrades to come. As will more questions.
