This is truly a one of a kind truck.
I bought this off eBay for $135 with high hopes. Bad experience with the seller. Turns out the Rx I got with the truck is DOA. The seller, Hi-IQ refuses to respond to email, has invalid contact information in thier eBay file and won't even talk to Square Trade.
Moving on... I took the guts of another Rx out of it's case so it would fit under the hood and got it going. It moves pretty decent Torque falls short although that is kind of expected. However, I have now fried the ESC (my own dumb fault) and was going to see about putting the ESC/Rx combo from a Losi Mini-T into it as they are going on eBay pretty cheap but have now lost interest.
Someone with more patience and experience in working on these little rigs would be able to do way more with it. I have other more pressing projects to put my time into.
It has been customized with DUAL motors and Dual batteries
Brand new Kyosho AM Perfex radio and crystals
Everything you see in the pics plus some extras that the original QRC had come with
NOTE: ESC is Toast and No Rx (MiniT setup should work nice though)
Here are some pics of it:
Movie of it.... wither QuickTime or MP4
