Hello readers, heres my 2 cents of the Tower Terror.

Good:
1 it has a .25 engine with lots of power for it's size
2. big gas tank, so you don't have to keep fueling
3. does willies like it aint no thang
4. nice body that looks like a mini savage
5. comes out to 270.00 because of free shipping and 30 of the 299 price


The Bad
1. the thing is built like a cheap toy, the tires dont have foam in them, the rims are flimsy plastic and odd 19mm. intake filter looks like it came out of a quarter machine. I ran into a curb and the bumper shattered into a hundred small pieces, the front knuckle broke, and the rim broke.
2. it has no roll bar, so when you start it with the pull start you have nothing to grip on to and your engine scrapes up when flipping.
3. parts are hard to find on the website and if found many are on back order (my cars in the garage and cant be used)
4. there is no hop up parts available!!!!
5. if you break something (which is garanteed you will because of cheap material) you cannot go to your lhs
From my expirience, the hit I took on the curb should not have messed it up that bad. but it did, the sad part was that I was breaking in the engine. true, it will go fast and handle good ( if you get good tires with the foam in them) but the durability is horrible. I feel like garbage because no that I think about it I could of bought a Savage x ss for a bit more cash and been happy. I bought it for my wife so she can join me while I bash my savage, now I have to wait to get it fixed. Big bummer!!!!!! listen to me!! do not invest in this vehicle. research and find something that is known and that carries parts. I wish I can go back. now I wish HPI feels sorry for me and sends me a free truck...........I WISH!! What have we learned today kids???>>>>thats right.........Don't buy a Tower Terror
P.S does anyone know if there is hop ups for the tower terror???

Try sending it back to tower, saying how dissatisfied you were with it. Or fix it and sell it for what you can get out of it. Were I live roughly half if your lucky.


Good luck
