I have a Cyclone S and love it...

E10 = Biggest piece of Crapola ever created.. a Drift King is more reliable!

Looking at the E-10 reminds of the TT-01 but backwards. Why is the E-10 so bad?

I think hpi stuff is a bit overpriced for what it is.

They have interesting videos on their drift site.

The Chassis is Ok but the Quality is just plain crap.

The Centre propshaft slaps around like mad with more then 19.000rpm.
The Collar Bearings pop out on the Bevel gears making the E10 loose Drive..

The diff and bevel gears have such poor mesh that one gets chewed after each run or dont mesh at all and you loose drive..
The Motor mount is Hopeless and doesnt allow good mesh so your car sounds more like a coffee grinder then an RC Car...


Did I mention it has intermittent AWD???
