For me it ran around US $150. I just checked on AliExpress and it's over US $300(depending on the electronics) for RTR. I know different sites may have it for under $300, but even if they go for around $250 that's a big save either way. Mind you that I didn't go for the top quality electronics such as hobbywing and other such brands. Also. I already had transmitters, extra receivers, batteries I used. so that also saved me $$ Prices may have been different too at the time I bought the kit and the electronics. But I feel you would still save around $50 if you had to buy every single thing. For me I wanted the joy that came with building/putting it altogether and learning from the experience. I got the kit and the electronics from Taobao as their site had them for the lowest cost compared to others I checked. And the shipping was reasonable as I don't live far from China.
I was really impressed with this car. I did hear tho from a guy who, after watching his videos, said the diffs are a weak point for this specific car. I Haven't had such experience yet. The spur is plastic, which I only recently upgraded to a steel one, but the plastic was still fine when I swapped it for the steel. The body is trash if you don't reinforce it. I haven't broken any parts, mind you I'm not an extreme basher I just do the average stuff. It backflips well too. It has done plenty of cartwheels on crashes and no breaks.
MaH stands for milliamp. And connecting two 2's batteries to achieve 4S is known as a series connection not parallel and also you need to learn how to edit your videos so that when the music comes on it doesn't wake up the entire household. Until you can get these things figured out nobody will watch your videos
Well you learned people to always look at motorshaft sizes and compatible pinions. It's a mistake all of us make in the beginning
So all in how much this project cost? Kit and electronics? Is it cheaper then RTR? Just wondering i don’t own anything VXR? Hear they are decent
