Hello, I am new to this forum, I do not own any ARRMA rc's YET. But I have had my eye on the Raider XL BLX for about a year.
However after watching and reading many reviews, I determined it wasn't quite worth the money. I was seeing far too many disappointed folks. I heard of electronics issues, dog bones being too short, parts of the car being assembled incorrectly from the factory, etc. BUT, they have re-released the Raider XL BLX with new electronics just like their other 1/8 scale cars, and I also noticed some cosmetic changes, ( like the aluminum roof now appears to be plastic, and the aluminum TVP's are absent). The price I see has been dropped to $250.
I have tried to do additional research on this 2nd gen version of the car, but there don't appear to be any NEW reviews out yet. Can anyone tell me, if ARRMA also corrected some of the other issues I read about? I am not into digging through grass to find a dog bone my car tossed away......
The price is right for me to purchase it, especially with the towerhobbies discount, I would just like a little encouragement that it won't be a dud.
Thanks in advance to any help and I look forward to participating here!
