This is an interesting little car: performant, good looking, lots of upgrade parts available. It's fast and you can manouver it well for an RTR at this price. I personally find the ground clearance much too low. It's great for a racing track or totally flat appartments, but I bought it for our flat in an old house with door sills (little steps) and other small cars so better in this category. I have got a few upgrade tips: * Get bigger wheels - you'll see 30mm wheels with aluminium rims on my photos. That give a bit more ground clearance (but still not enough for me) * If you want to drive in your flat, better get a smaller pinion and a slower motor. I got a 130 motor with approx. 2/3 of the original RPM at the same voltage and a 13T pinion - now it handles much easier in our little appartment. * Search on Youtube for Beaver's Hobby. He's got a series of improvements for this car. I'm quite new to RC, so I'm not aware how common undervoltage protection is, but if you want to give such a toy with a LiPo to a kid, I think it is important. Just a few hours ago, I forgot to switch the car off and when I came back it said nothing. Checking the battery it has only 4,6V in total, 1,8V on one cell and 2,8V on the other. The charger doesn't want to charge the battery anymore, of course, because it would be dangerous. (This cars has a 7,4V LiPo package consisting of 2 x 3,7Vcells) I think there shoud be a protection that switches the power off if the voltage drops too low or at least gives a loud beeping or so. In summary it's a nice car with great potential, but with some backdraws, depending on the intended usage. PS. In the photo you see a door sill that it manages to cross if you take it at an angle.

Q: does this have reverse or brake?

Asked by Jojoaerohobby on 2020-01-26 06:22:15

Domi7 1) bi-directional= forward and reverse. 2) Brake - Yes, and I like the amount of brake. I have other ESCs with a too strong brake for example, but this one is just nice for my liking.
