ok I understand u have had a bad run, But was that the only one u owned?
does it happen to every spartan??

I get a bit worried when people start bagging a product after only owning one, Its just there are heaps of experts out there giving it great reviews???

Allso whats wrong with ABS plastic???? its one of the most durable plastics????
I cant understand why U dont like it??? motor bikes use it for flearing, cars use it for bumpers/crash zones, plumbers pipe, computer keyboards, airsoft guns, Power tools, computer tablets, LEGO, out door radios, iphone covers, ipod, joysticks, tide on toys etc etc....

So if not ABS what??? wood? fiberglass?

Wonders why insurance companies wont use fiberglass or wood replacement bumpers... or how come 99.9% of real cars dont use fiberglass for front bumpers

IMO dont belive everything on forums, according to forums the HPI E10 is crap, ive got one that can easly out drift the average Sprint 2, and i haveent had anything brake on it in nearly 4 years...

Like I say to anyone, the first thing to do with new R/C's pull them down & rebuild it with love, but then again ive seen people completly ruin simple things like glueing on tyres or setting gearmesh....

hope we can debat this and reach a outcome, personally i know nothing about the spartan, im just trying to wein out the BS
