ecx torment, wow
I took my ecx torment to the hobbyshop's track yesturday.
I had a couple of buddies to race with.
Their track is small, tight and technical. Oh, and carpet floor.
Anyway, with the exception that I ran a 2s lipo pack, the torment was stock.
It was a dream to drive. I have had the slash before, and Im sure it can be fast and easy to drive but its not that way out of the box.
The torment's tires gripped VERY well. If I backed up and then punched the throttle it would wheely for 10 feet. Thats pretty good for a 20t brushed motor, even it I was useing a 2s lipo.
Then the handling, the truck leans but you have to push really hard for it to roll. And jumping was pretty nice to. slight nose heavy, but not bad.
I ran a pair of 2s lipo packs threw the truck and the motor only got warm.
My buddy had a slash 4x4 vxl with a 2s lipo. my torment could keep up on this track! Again, it has tight lanes and short straight sections but still its pretty impressive.
Im sure the slash 2wd can handle as well as the torment, but only after shocks, tires, suspension are all tweaked. The torment just seemed to handle well box stock.
I was surprised when the hobby shop guy said that no one races the torment yet.
the slash is waterproof, but the torment handles nice / has better tires (grippy) and is $40 cheaper.
I had a blast with the truck!
