My HK Acme Trooper

Well I got another good bash in yesterday, in 25* weather, didnt and havent broken anything yet. I am 100% happy with this purchase! Although I did expect it to be a POS, I am sold on these now.
I wont buy any of their other smaller scale stuff, read lots of bad feedback involving them but if they come out with a 1/8 buggy, I might be tempted to pull the trigger on one of those.

Nice I like it! With those slash tires on it I think it gives a nice looking stance, a little more tough looking if you will. I'm now looking to see if any stores here in Canada have them in stock. Can you get hop ups for it? I'll be following this thread closely to see what else you say about it.

 

[slowngreen]

I'm not aware of hop ups yet, but there might be some. They do have all of the replacement parts though, which is awesome.

Gave my dad his for Christmas yesterday. I'm many many packs into mine without any breaks. The diffs leak a bit but thats the only problem I've had, and I'm running mine in almost nothing but below freezing temps...

That looks like a pretty solid rig SNG, where did you pick it up if you dont mind me asking id like to check them out, after i get my 5b built i think i wanna give electric a try, are they brushless?

 

[slowngreen]

Yes they are brushless and 3s capable stock. I got them from Hobbyking.com from the US warehouse.

We ran head on into eachother on the road yesterday, busted a lower suspension arm on both front passenger, a bulk head on mine and a shock body on his. Not too bad though.

 

[tmaxxfreek]

WOW thats not alot of damage for a head on.....I'm gonna check these out, the more i look at the pics the better i like it.

If you can afford a Traxxas Slash or Associated SC10, that would be the way better way to go, I loved all my slashes, but, for cheap, these have proven to be worth the money so far.

 

[HPIguy]

Sounds like it's holding up pretty good SNG, good to hear that it's a viable option.

 

[tmaxxfreek]

i like the price tag on this one better than the slash.....lol so i will most likely go this route

 

[slowngreen]

Parts had to come from china though, they didnt have any in stock in the US warehouse, just a FYI.

I was wanting to order the truck bu they only had it in the international warehouse so shipping was going to be about $55. How much was shipping for yours? That is kinda keeping me from buying one right now just because of the shipping price.

sorry I didnt see this. I think shipping was prolly around that price for two of them shipped Joey, not one.

Update on quality....about the same. We bash them just like a slash, usually once or twice a week for a pack eachy time, about 45-60 minutes and they are still holding up great. We both lost our servos last night though, but for stock cheapo plastic geared crappers, lasted longer than I had expected.

Good deal glad to hear they are working out. Yeah they were sold out at the US warehouse so that kinda put me out of luck They look like a decent basher for sure.
