Default RE: Does anypone own this 1/5 Monster Truck from Hobbyking?

My Rovan monster truck showed up today,

I took to tearing it apart to check every thing out,

Mine came with alloy engine mounts, cvd's and ball drive ends at the diff cups,

The belt drive system is well greased from the factory and the tires are gonna be real hard wearing,

Probably won't ever need a new set,

I have noticed one of the front upper arm adjusters slightly bent, and one front and rear hub don't have the bearings seated properly,

The clutch bell gear is steel as is the spur gear,

I have noticed the plastic is pretty strong and has some needed flex to it,

Won't know how it drives until after I rebuild it, but the tuned pipe is huge and has a good finish to it,

Il post some pics tomorrow.
