Car came in perfect condition can't wait to take it out... currently snow is everywhere
I have the Apex2. I love it! The dog-bone does fall out. I've crashed it twice already, and my servo has been twitchy since the crash. So, I'm not gonna replace the car, I just need the servo replaced.. But Great design! Let's get the dog bone issue solved for the front steering! :D
Breaks, all the time. For the price point you'd expect better durability, some adjustability, but nope...You're just paying for the name here. Every race a wheel hub snaps or a dogbone pops out. EVERY. SINGLE. RACE. I'll be selling it after this week most likely. For 180 maybe, but 350? A waste.
Three reviews with mixed views. One verified owner reports frequent breakage, including wheel hubs snapping and dogbones popping out during races, and considers the price too high for the durability. A second verified owner reports the car arrived in good condition and is eager to run it, though the snow comment gives no performance detail. A third reviewer praises the design but reports dogbones falling out, a servo that became twitchy after crashes, and says they still plan to keep the car. Dogbone detachment is the one issue raised by more than one reviewer. The sample is small.
