Really like the quality of design for an M chassis.
What's your opinion on the build though?
Instructions are poor with no detail or tips for most crucial areas. No details for belt tension and lack of explanation for pivot ball suspension.
No details for a base setup with the exception of camber lengths of which I am pretty sure are incorrect for the rear.
The kit setup for the steering does not work. You do not have clearance for the steering rods over the wishbone...
The spur gear setup does not work and requires shims for belt tensioner clearance.
Sounds like a moan but Xray prices so I expected more.
Maybe it's an exclusive club I just don't get...
Thoughts.
Feel free to call me grumpy.
Well I had mine for three weeks and it is a blast mini to drive ..
this 4wd mini is stupid fast with standard tires and I am killing the 21.5 TC ..no one couldn't believe how fast this mini is and drive like the 1/10 scale TC
Full Tamiya mini hop up M08 or any of them , it is cheaper to buy Serpent mini for less
think about it three wheel base setting .three motor mount position ,three drive train set ( Fwd.Rwd.4wd)
