Rip Off?
 

Is http://www.rchighspeed.com/shop/item...id=202&catid=1 a rip off or is it a good bargin?

Well i cant say that I have ever heard of that truck so I doubt it would be worth your time. You would have to do alot of work to maintain it and im willing to bet you LHS doesnt carry parts for it. But its up to you. I sent you a PM.

I wouldn't touch one of those with a 10' poll. I work at my LHS and we see quite a few of these. They are JUNK, you can't get parts, and everything breaks, the motors blow up even when they are tuned properly, the clutch bells become warped after 2 runs, and plastic is really brittle. Everything is Junk... So yes, it is a rip off

I would save up and get a RTR from Traxxas or HPI, parts are easy to get, there made with good materials etc...

stick to a good brand!!! traxxas, hpi, associated, etc. you can easily get replacement parts for these. and, you cant determine anything about that truck in the link, from one picture, and a few words.

I bought a truck off e-bay built by Highspeed. It was called a tyrannosauras it was a POS!!! I learnt my lesson. Dont make the same mistake i made!!! :flaming:

for that kinda money i would risk it on ebay for a decent hpi or somthing? :nod:

you can find a POS for much cheper if you want a POS that you will most likely spend more time serching for parts,than driving. my first rc was a smarttech,it actually fell apart driving stright down the paved road. :rolleyes: if this is your first rc,it will most likely upset you and you will soon buy a real truck,which at that time,you might find some usefull screws,or nuts from the broken Conquistador that may fit on the traxxas,or losi. remember Conquistador@$270+traxxas rustler@$330+/- =$600 you are only $50 away from the Rippin :sneaky: lst2 :sneaky: (best of the best) good luck.

Put it this way.. i ahvent herd one good thing about that truck.

POS POS POS POS POS
Get a used Revo and it will stop that new thing into the ground for the same amount of money:nod:
