    • @urineanimal
      @urineanimal Před 5 lety

      Only versatile due to a similar psychological process of sexual repression traits driving people with 1 extra IQ point above average to moddify these weak platforms to come 1% closer to everything else that is way cheaper, far more durable and faster out the box. I really wonder.... what level of financial fraud the parent company engages in to keep from going bankrupt. Maybe not.... after all, the customer gets what they pay for lol.

Its a great basher with a few upgrades (shock caps) and can be fun for spec slash racing. I own a brushless slash 2wd and its good fun. May not be the greates track car but it is a decent basher.

    You had me all the way up to drilling holes in the top of the body for the speaker mount. I would’ve gone with Velcro myself as well as Velcro for the body mounts for a more authentic look. It’s too bad there isn’t a way to narrow the front end for a more realistic drag work and getting rid of some of the negative camber on the front end would be ideal.
