RE: my new Smartech 4x4 truck
Unfortunately I havn't had a chance to give it another run since my first brief run as my car spat a water pump and timing cover and its taken all my spare time for the last 1 1/2 weeks to fix it.
Only issue so far has been the throttle servo stopped, turned out to be a wire inside came loose easy fixed. The steering servo is a bit iffy when you first switch it on but comes good after a few cycles. I've ordered a 5745 to replace it and I'm fitting a decent radio as I've got a decent one to fit. Nothing really wrong with the stock radio though. The Rx switch is in an impossible to reach position, have to use a stick to operate it, I moved it to the top of the radio box easy fixed.
It comes with an engine that I think is of Smartechs own design. So far it has run well, nothing spectacular power wise, I'll try an x-can at somestage and see what that does.
