MRC/ZD Racing 1/8 scale ZRT-1 Truggy. Like it was said way bay when in the TEC forum...quality control of parts not being up to par.
I bought in 2010/2011 three RTR ZRT-1 truggies on eBay (Christmas present for daughter with spares) when they were in the "promoting this item mode". I had winning bids of $100~$110 for each one. The daughter and I were saying to one another, "Holy crap! Put the dog and sis' inside 'cause this thing is way fast and heavy, that it would seriously hurt or kill one of them if they were to get hit." After about a weeks time we were busting front universal shafts every three to four runs on that truggy. Luckily I was getting a deal with online parts. The dude (thank you Bruce) was giving me 2 universal shafts for the price of one 'cause of a technicality of pictures and wording that the site had for the item. I was going through four universal shafts a week sometimes.
The ZRT-1 is tough as nails except those darn universal shafts up front. The thing takes a beating and comes back for more...until ....snap..another broken shaft
. I am much happier with the Evader chewing up tires every month than working on that truggy every other day. Don't get me wrong. I like "wrenching" on RC cars, but this one "took the cake".
