Bought this from my local traxxas dealer 1st 5-10 minutes of run already have a bad clicking noise found out the rear diffs are junk from factory so going to be spending money on x01 conversion. Then the next pack few days later just running in my basement the servo failed. Would i buy another one of these no just get a arrma and leave traxxas in dust is all i have to say Worst car from traxxas i have ever had. reason i stayed away from traxxas for 5 years. i decided to get this mini because it had 1/10 electronics and diffs but its worse then i have ever thought. Known issues wish i have known before buying is the bad diff and even worse chassis can snap pretty easily. stay away from this model tell traxxas has a recall and fixes all these issues
Don’t waste your money. Maybe the next version will be better.
So far so... okay. hit a curb going surprisingly slow (like maybe 10mph) and exploded the servo. (even with that servo saver somehow it totally stripped) Bought an upgraded one that's metal geared (EcoPower WP110T) and way more responsive and haven't had any issues since! other general traxxas complaint is how obscenely expensive their proprietary batteries are... instantly snipped and soldered on an XT60 so i can use whatever i want. It really is a pretty damn balanced ride, solid understeer in most scenarios and only oversteers when it's a little damp out (which is my fave time to drive, lots of fun drifting)
Don’t pay attention to the guy that left a 1 star. For the money it’s worth it. If you drive it like a xmaxx your break it drive it like what it is and it’s perfect
You can be sure amain hobby has just about everything you may need. They also take PayPal and offer a credit through affirm. Once you qualify you pick your payment option 6mth 1year. That's the route I went. Will continue using amain hobby for all my rc needs. Thanks. Gary
Reviewers are divided on this 1/16 4WD brushless monster truck. Two one-star reviews report a faulty or failing servo, a noisy rear differential that one owner says needs an upgrade, and a chassis that can snap. A four-star reviewer had the servo stripped after a low-speed curb strike and fitted a metal-geared replacement, after which the truck performed well, and praised its balanced handling. A five-star reviewer says it is good value if driven with care. One review is about the seller's service rather than the truck, so it was not counted toward the product. Recurring concerns are the servo, the differential and the proprietary battery cost.
- + Balanced handling with understeer
- + Good value for the money
- + Fun to drive in damp conditions
- − Servo failures, including stripped gears
- − Noisy rear differential from factory
- − Chassis can snap
- − Expensive proprietary batteries
