Got a nice shiny lookin' truck Timbo. Lets see how it works out for you when you get it. Report back with what you like and dislike and any others that don't have one in their hands just cut the crap. For $179 its worth a risk to see whats good and whats bad about it. Good luck Tim and look forward to seeing some updates.

I posted once I had received it, a hobby shop here shut down and cleared 4 or 5 of them, I have offered it against the Twin force genuine of mine, and it seems to be a perfect copy, no give in the axle plastics, radio is fine, if anything a better rx box, arms seem to flex the same. Need better weather to run the engine in before any serious bashing though.

if I actually comprehended what I read I would've seen that. Will wait for some better weather. Good luck with it and if you end up with carnage Tim, those pix would work too

I´ve had a Shen Qi monster truck as well, and I really gave it a hard time.
The only really weak point was it´s body shell - it was the Hummer type and waporized by the first heavy crash. The engine was surprisingly powerfull. I replaced the std. lunchbox exhaust with a used 3-chamber exhaust wich gave it more than enough power.
The King Motor Baja on the other hand, I find a bit under powered even with a 3-chamber pipe.
The std. HPI BAJA 5B with the 26 cm3 Fulie engine is underpowered as well. It´s quite expensive in Denmark app. 1200 usd + 300 usd for an adequate engine + another 300 usd for needed hop ups, such as adjustable differential and working brakes etc.
It´s the COOLEST looking largescale Buggy in my book, but it needed an engine swap, to really get me hooked and leave the FG Leopard race buggy on the shelf. It´s still underpowered with a 26 cm3 Zenoah with tuned pipe, but does okay for bashing on the beach. For race purpose, I would choose a Hörmann or ELCON Cleon
No erotic stuff here... hum, maybe for some? :wink:
You like carbon look? Perso, I am not a super fan of fiber glass so I covered my 10L chassis with Oracover called in the US UltraCote. No big money here, just a bit of patience and some hand...

I wanted to start this as a 2-fold process. One, to get peoples honest feelings, and also because I am affiliated with a company that is responsible for selling a product line made in China.
So I know how the discussion of quality and how many of...

Thanks for letting us know about Frank's new job. I'll have to keep an issue of RC Driver in my car while travelling I-91 & I-84.
I just heard about this today. Chinese lunar rover:

Here's my prediction: Made-in-China space components and systems will begin failing a few months after deployment. They will still be under warranty, but the cost of return shipping will be a killer.
I must say at first glance I'm pretty impressed with the look of the T4.2 (aside from the bulldog body) but was surprised to see a crumpled Chinese packing list in the box, the kind you get with cheap crappy Chinese products. I have never seen one...

No matter how nice anything is, I would still want it made in N.A. I'm in the manufacturing industry in Ontario, and high paying jobs are scarce........as the saying goes out of a job yet, keep buying foreign!
I need a new pair of shoes. I've been a long time Adidas fan, and I love my Vision Street Wear low and high tops But, they are all made in China. I was just going to pick up a new pair of VSW low top lace ups, but I can't bring myself to do it. What...
So in the process of moving I busted my old box of 3 rc10s and 3 rc10ts out of storage with the intent to sell them. BAD IDEA. I am now sucked into it again after not looking at a kit for 20 years (well I did get a couple out about 10 years ago and...
