This thing is sweet!

I already have some mini crawlers that I modified. I just wanted something box stock to play with that was brushless. It’s super fun, ESC has a good tune on it out of the box and it comes with the programming card. The lights are awesome. Been driving it abunch no breakage!

Would be 5 stars, but I was not aware the brushless system did not have the ability to free wheel for running trails. I picked up the flux because all reviews were showing it would trail excellent. I have to replace the esc so I have that ability available. If you do not mind having a very strong drag brake at all times, then this is just fine. I should have done my homework as I do have the same system (furitek Venom pro and venom motor) installed in a few crawlers. That system is great for crawling. On the trails, if you let off the throttle a little, it has immediate slow down, and if you let off to neutral, it comes to an immediate stop. Even adjusting the esc programming and using dip switches 3 and 4, you can not turn off the brake.
The front bumper sticks out a ways, and is not adjustable. Approach angle is limited. Overall crawling ability is about what you would see with a bone stock ascent 18 scout, but take away 3/4 of the approach angle and add straight axle design.
I would recommend the truck, it is pretty sweet Overall. But for the use I have intended for this truck, I will be spending an additional $120 for an esc. This brings the final cost very close to alot of 1/10 rtr trail trucks, so...not a good deal now for me. Live and learn.

I bought a second one and that should tell you it's good? Best bang for your buck by far! You won't spend this much on any rtr RC with this performance, buy one and thank me later!

I got my new hpi Toyota hylux today. It’s so smooth and everything feels well built but after about two minutes of driving it I’m my kitchen the steering servo locked up. I emailed the customer support and they got me all fixed up. Thank you amain hobby I look forward to my next purchase.
