Bought this buggy after having a positive experience with the Reflex 14MT. Drove that truck really hard for about 8 months and the only thing that went was the servo. Differentials are plastic gears but they last awhile. Like all Associated products, the cars are fun to drive, easy to work on, and relatively inexpensive to repair (when compared to some other brands). The handling and response with the 14B really surprised me. It's a blast to drive. However, and maybe I'm unlucky, but the D115F servo is a major weak point in this line. Unlike the MT, I have driven this car extremely carefully. No big jumps, no hard hits, Dual Rate set very conservatively. Car was running fine. Didn't drive it for a bit, got sidetracked on finishing another kit. Went to give it a run and there was absolutely no response from the servo when I turned it on. Attempted to re bind the receiver and same issue-no steering response. Connected it to a servo tester and verified it was officially dead. I don't usually get frustrated when components break, it's part of the hobby. But when there is no root cause it is really frustrating. Haven't been able to find a replacement/upgrade that will fit, so I had to order another one. Didn't mean to write a wall of text. Recommend the car. Would be 5 stars if not for the janky servo.
Awesome little buggy! Very well built, very fast, and very fun!
This buggy is really fast , has a nice whistle noise going by at high speeds , I just did a few upgrades to the chassis an it’s way better …
great car only problem I had was I bought it without battery it said it took a 2s battery but it's not the full size 2s battery it needs a shorty. But it's a great car and Amain is great and fast.
Reviewers generally praise the Reflex 14B Ongaro's handling, speed and fun factor, and find it easy and affordable to repair. One owner who drove the car carefully reported the D115F servo failing after a short period, describing it as a weak point in the line, while noting the rest of the car held up. Another reviewer said the buggy needs a shorty 2S battery rather than a full-size pack, which was not what they expected. Reviews are few and mostly short, so the picture is limited, though all reviews concern the 14B variant.
- + Fun, responsive handling
