Default RE: Schumacher's Newest Rc - Manic


ORIGINAL: Havoc1992

I've had a manic for a couple of weeks now, got it for £395.
The only bad things i can say about it are that i couldn't get it started without having to use a hair dryer to heat it up for the first 7 or 8 tanks. After that it starts pretty easily.
After a run, it had a jolt when i pushed it forward, turns out some mud had got into the rear belt cog and had jammed itself into some of the teeth.
It has had a few flips and landed on its roof a few times and has held up as well as my havoc so it seems very tough.
The engines aren't that loud when compared with a savage x but they have so much power. The acceleration is instant and it gets to around 40-45mph and the brakes are pretty good because the radio gear it comes with has the option of ABS which twitches the throttle/brake servo between brake and neutral when the brakes are applied.
It is a very fast and robust truck and is well worth the money.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask and i'll do my best to help.
how much is L395 in U.S. money dollars?? I have chance to buy one for $475 + $25 shipping. I sold my LST2 to try it out, but still doing research on it, and how parts availability in the US is, since the pulled their US headquarters? Anyone know here there is US parts and hop ups for it??
