Default So I bought a $99 Speed Passion RS1

I was in the market for a shaft driven 1/10 on-road and found this on eBay for $99 shipped. Comes with a 3000kv Motor & ESC installed so it was a pretty decent deal. I wasn't a fan of the Honda civic body so I did some minor adjustments with the body post and fitting my 200mm Alfa 8C body along with some 3mm Off set rims/tires I had laying around. My TeamMagic E4FS isn't really the car I want to drive outside as a basher so the RS1 was to fill that space. Only thing I don't like about the kit is it really is a "entry level" kit. ( This means you cant adjust anything on the suspension but the shock bodies ). The Transmitter is pretty decent as its a 2.4ghz radio and they thought to put an LED flashlight on the front of the radio. That is really a great idea IMO and the first in RC that Ive ever seen on ANY Radio. Honestly the car is fun but im getting back into off road RC's. Anyone wants this PM me Im going to end up selling this at some point. I AM going to put this on the Market place but first wanted to see if anyone else has one of these and get their opinions (if any) on this 1/10 on-road

UUUUhhhhhhh

Okay

Nice find!?

Good for you? (not to be mean)



I really do not see the point of this post.

This isn't eBay.

Again - good find and good luck.

You should make sure to cover the exposed wire by the plugs.

Civic body comes pre-painted. Its actually not a bad body im just not a civic fan. Even came with 2 extra wings along with headlight and rear brake light to mount inside of the body, even tho the whole thing is painted?

I'm aware of the wires. Not sure if I have another set of male traxxas connecters at the moment so a temporary mod was in place to get the thing to run.
I use rubber sealant on ALL of my batteries&connecters after sodering

Most Bath tub style chassis tend to have the same look. No one is really making Shaft driven 1/10 electric on-roads anymore. Maybe the Ofna JL 10e[:-]

No offense, but that is an incredibly ugly radio... it's almost as bad as the Megatech rocket radio.

I don't fancy an aerodynamic chromed out radio either. It looks like it was inspired by a Star Trek "Fazer v2.0".
The LED flash light is still a great idea (yes it turns on/off)
