Overall it is great fun, not as fast as the Axiel Scx24 but the 4 wheel steering makes it as much fun for us. I estimate they will take at least 3 weeks due to the current situation, maybe even longer, no matter what their estimation says (if they do get here in the 5-10 days promised, I'll be very surprised and happy). It is small and perfectly suited for indoor crawling, but it can also work well in the garden for some minor rock crawling action. The weather is starting to dry up again, after a sad excuse of a winter with absolutely no snow whatsoever in southern Finland, so it's time to get the cars back on the road. After getting to grips with the Devastator I started to place obstacles around to assemble a makeshift track and to see how capable its climbing abilities would be.
The gearbox is 11mm tall with a footprint of 13mm by 12mm, has a 10mm D shaft and it's attached to a 6V (3-7V) motor. Thanks to it's diminutive size (190mm length, 125mm wide) there is always a lot of space to use the car. Mode 2 where the front and rear wheels turn in opposite directions was the setting that I initially stuck with as it made the turning radius much sharper. Get ready to unleash your racing skills and experience the excitement of off-road racing like never before. Looks to me like it has been in its box position for a long long time and the suspension has leaned to one side and twisted everything out of sync, to me this is because of the mounting position in the box leant over, on one side for what maybe years and the suspension and chassis have had this result.
Drives ok, but really really annoying to look at, and who knows if any problems may arise from it in the future.
The crabbing worked to get the car around smaller obstacles that were blocking the main route, and the four wheel steer excelled when I didn't have much space to turn. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). just now, i want to give it a try, i bought a new battery, asked the seller for a hbx 2098 battery, and he sent me a 7,4v 2s lipo battery with capacity around 2000-3000mah.The difference is quite staggering, as there is now enough torque to go full lock even on sticky surfaces, and it's slightly but noticeably faster too. I steered it towards the corner of the garden where there is a pile of rocks from a failed garden landscaping attempt some years earlier. Here is a topic about a HBX custom build from a German forum back from 2015 ( Google Translate Link). Now the wheels are a bit wider than the standard losi rims but the tyres do fit with a slight stretched look to the sidewalls.
I don't want to spend much, but the original body shell looks like you would have change from a quid to produce it, so I am hoping that an alternative would not be too much for essentially a budget rock crawler.BG have it at 55 quid atm, trying to decide if I should press the button or just wait till HK do another blow out deal on the Basher Rocksta?
One of the main issues is that the battery is integrated so you cannot just pop another in once it runs out. They are small screws that are threaded into ball ends and they could work loose, so I added a tiny drop of threadlock on the link screws to ensure that I would not lose any. Ideal to move around an obstacle but to keep the front of the truck lined up to get the front wheels where you want them. I would advise you to ensure that the screws are all tightened (I used threadlock on the screws that hold the links).
