ORIGINAL: Zonk

My summary of 2 months of ownership.

+It's strong, only broken a few parts
+It is fairly easy to work on
+Diffs don't leak
+Smooth over jumps
+handles well with some tweaking
+it looks good


-stripped a rear diff, no idea how
-exhaust a little exposed, my $100 Nosram pipe has some nasty dents and dings in it
-Stock battery holder is rubbish, was not easy converting to the better Hyper 8 battery box (Stoopid Hobao)
-Bodies a little thin, just ordered my 3rd after cracking the orginal 2 (I do crash a lot though)
-had some oversteer issues that took a while to resolve.

Still a good truggy, better than my HB Lightning Pro R, probably in the same top group as the Mugen MBX5 Prospect and the Hong Nor X1CRT Pro.
I noticed the same thing about my diffs. I went to check the fluids and there was no leakage at all. All my previous diffs leaked a little, but not the Hyper.

I noticed that I had a too much play in my rear diff, so I added a extra shim (gear side).

I have no problem with the battery box. The zip ties work fine.
