About this deal

Ideal to move around an obstacle but to keep the front of the truck lined up to get the front wheels where you want them.

I steered it towards the corner of the garden where there is a pile of rocks from a failed garden landscaping attempt some years earlier. The difference is quite staggering, as there is now enough torque to go full lock even on sticky surfaces, and it's slightly but noticeably faster too. One thing to note, 6V and 12V gearboxes don't seem to be compatible, the pinions are different sizes (or at least the 12V 200RPM gearbox doesn't fit the 6V 300RPM motor and vice versa).when i connected the battery (battery had been charged a little by the seller), the car can move for about 10cm, and after that, motor wont run anymore, but servos still work normally.

so here it is, i bought this devastator on 2016, after playing for about 5 months, the battery started showing some problems.

Thanks to it's diminutive size (190mm length, 125mm wide) there is always a lot of space to use the car.The big feature of this truck is that it has a range of steering modes so both the front and rear axles are the same with a servo mounted on both of them. This is a fun little truck, and I get to play with something RC without having to go to the flying field. So as it is not waterproof (like me) I went back indoors impressed what this little truck could achieve. I happened to have a single SG90 of unknown quality (no sticker, could be a genuine TowerPro) and decided to swap the motor as a test.

The shocks are friction shocks but they move freely and as this car is slow and heavy they do not have the same issues as a race car would have. This car can drive forward and backward, steer left and right, the high quality of the car enables you to run on any terrain without damage. Now the wheels are a bit wider than the standard losi rims but the tyres do fit with a slight stretched look to the sidewalls. The run time is impressive with 25-30 minutes being a lot of time available to mess about with it in a lunchbreak or messing around in the pit area between heats.The 4 wheel steer and build quality are the best bits for us, unfortunately the tyres are the first thing that needs changing and we added wheel weights. Not a huge fan of big wheel monster trucks anyway, but this is disproportionate to the point of deformity.
