I'm going to try this little truck out. Brushless too . I know there's a cheaper version but I like the looks of this one more. Picked it up at the LHS for $135 plus tax. They might be cheaper online, but I don't mind. Charger and battery included. It looks like quality stuff. Even the manual is good quality.

Yeah my kid and I want a couple of those, but I think Well end up with the even smaller ones. They look like a blast though!
 
Plastic TB's and all.. Does it come stock with bearings or bushings?
I believe it has bearings. I'll double check
Wow, imagine a drift truck painted in a flag motif and a muscle car looking drifter.... :)

Brushless is nice though.
Yeah they are copying Arrma. Oh well. At least it looks very nice 🤣
Mine is pretty much exactly this, but in a better color :

Much better test. I think this was stock? 41 MPH with stock system?with a lipo 2s that is

Correction. The last video was a modified one. This is what I was looking for. Stock:

 
I have the smaller 1/24 size, and I just got the 1/8 mega but plan on getting one of these 1/16 to finish out the lineup. 😎

Yes! That’s the one we want lol
It’s pretty fun, I had it outside in the dark on the street with the optional drift wheels. The lights are hella bright!
 
I ran this little truck and it's way too bouncy. It's pretty fast and I was able to roll it over. It looks like I'm going to have to upgrade the shocks. Check it out :

Can you keep yours going straight? I guess the parking lot at work is too uneven since I couldn't keep it going straight. And the stability control would make it worse.
Very interesing that some people are saying that the brushed version is way better for drifting since it's not over powered like the brushless one 🤔

OK so this little truck is pretty fun. I bought a couple of 2s zee 1500mAh 60C batteries for it. Compared the speeds and got 22mph with the stock battery and 24mph with the 2s battery. You can tell the difference in performance. I crashed against my SUV tire head on and it didn't break luckily
