Status: offline 		well, since my other post was very rudely removed with no explination i will start again. I have the right to voice a warning about bad products...

Shortly after january i bought a 1/8 titan because it was an afordable solution to my boredem in the winter when i cant fly, break in goes fine, after break in on the third tank my bearings in my diff are toast(they came out of the sockets and got wreaked) and my pull start busted off, so i replaced them, on my 4th tank my steering servo strips out, so i order a new steering servo, then on my 5th tank when i finally have everything good and spend a good hour trying to get the thing running attempting many different needle setting, untill the pull start busts off again, after that i took it inside and at closer look found my needle was all messed up. i have now put more money into this thing then originally bought it for, and the thing still isnt working as it should. i though a remember the box saying ready to go nitro truck, haha.... i guess that was a joke... i get it know.

this is just a warning about the poor quality of these machines.. this is going to be the last time me or anyone i know has any dealings with exceed rc.

Status: offline 		yeah i have to agree these things are very addictive, but unfortunately you do get what you pay for and as much money as i have into my piece of crap exceed i could have bought a revo rtr and an associated kit by now, having said that when the piece does work it is fun! But again i would have to agree go with a reputable brand, yeah maybe pay more initially but enjoy the quality for much longer!

Status: offline 		lol. one thing, when u bought ur new pull start i doubt u bought it from exceed cause they dont sell them. if u broke to pull starts from two dif. companies that means ur pulling to hard. i agree w/ the difs. tho because the rod that the universal cup hooks on is to short so it falls off. or maybe u could use locktight. dont buy exceed servos buy fatabu or something because theres are high quality. u maybe put $80 dollars in to it so it is still cheaper than buying a $500 car that i could break in 2 minutes

Status: offline 		mhmm its got 2 9252's on it now, i had afew left in my bin luckily, i got the pull cord from one of the companys that deals exceed brand..

its not so much 1 of these probelms, but all happening so close to eachother when the truck is still nearly new is what is so bad, ya parts break, but in the first 5 tanks, replacing half the truck is not right...

Status: offline 		mmhm, i have had problem with the oring to. i think it just need a bigger one b/c mine was ajusting buyitself to. as for quality of these mahines, its ok. my freinds has one of there buggys. i would have to say he dose go though alot more parts than me but he also only payed $200 for it, i payed almost 400 for mine. im shure he is well over 400 with all the parts he has had to replace. i think there ok for someone without alot of money, trying to get into the hobby. .there basicly the same but i perfer redcat over exceed. better parts and support.

Status: offline 		hey I got a problem...
I got my Exceed Hyperspeed in Feb and everything has been running fine, since I live in Chicago haven't had many chances to get out with it maybe got 10 tanks through... Last Sun we had a break in the weather and it was like 50 degrees out so I went to get my buggy... when I turned on the servo nothing happened so I thought my battery was dead so put some new ones in the buggy... Still nothing is happening no steering no throttle... the last time I ran it everything was working fine even after I cleaned it... can anyone give me some advice on what is going on is this a problem with my servo’s of receiver?? I am getting a little discouraged especially after reading about problems that other people are having with there new cars

Thanks
Another new beee

Status: offline 		I pulled the Crystal and the wires out to make sure that they weren't lose and they seemed fine is there a connector on the servos or are the wires hard wired in????
