Great honest review guys, Im getting a little fed up seeing constant reviewers these days being sent free RC's of late. They have become massive shop windows for the manufacturers, It is so obvious these reviewers are pushing products in favour of the manufacturers. probably hoping to get more free RC's sent to them buy giving pretty glowing reviews on products. Of course every reveiwer that gets a free product points out that they are giving a good honest unbiased review even though they didn't pay for it. Keep up your great reviews guys & stay safe.

Once again AJ you deliver the goods.... You unbiased review of the FireTeam has helped me with my decision to add it to my collection .... with all the negatives you pointed out not withstanding .... I'm still ok with my decision to have one...... Your run footage showcased extreme bashing in my opinion ....but that doesn't apply to me because I'm one of those guys that does what I call terrain bashing where I just run the RC like I stole it on whatever terrain I find to do it on .... I don't do any big air jumps or stunts because honestly ....I don't have the skill set to do so yet... I'm still learning..... maybe some day you could do an instructional video on throttle control.... and what you need to do to make the RC do various things.....either way ....Thank You for what you bring to our hobby.....You're the Man!!!

Agreed. As soon as a channel starts receiving RC’s before launch and for free, I unsubscribe and stop watching. It’s just not possible to be unbiased when it costs nothing and there is an incentive to keep the supplier happy for the next release. I was an Amazon Vine member for about 5 years. I remember having to check myself many times and ultimately stopped my membership because I found myself getting an inferior item I wouldn’t have purchased over a competitors item I would normally purchase, just because it was “free” (free is never actually free though).

First, you are the best reviewer. I hope Arrma, Traxxas, HPI, HoBao, Team Corally etc get that and start sending you cars to review! Of course honest reviews. About the Fireteam, I like it and I don't. The body I feel is too complex with all the parts. Many parts = many parts can break. The hand-break is a gimick, as I see it. A complete extra body is crazy expensive, Jennys RC sells it for near $180 USD. CRAZY! But I guess you could only buy what breaks, but some of the body parts are pretty expensive also. If Arrma release a Fireteam EXB roller, that would be interesting. The wheels looks good, test them on your Kraton and Talion 1/8 6S. 😀👍

ARRMA should have released the 4S lineup or added to the 8S lineup instead of another of the same 6S chassis with a new body that looks toyish.. I guess it will appeal to a certain crowd. Team Corally’s models are becoming quite appealing lately while ARRMA cruises through another fiscal quarter. There are PLENTY of issues with existing models that could be addressed as well. The Team Corally Skeeter will hopefully set a new precedent with manufacturers releasing full RC models instead of 3/4 RCs with 1/4 “option” parts.

They do fit the Talion. And the body does, to some extent, help with debris deflection. However, it also keeps debris inside the truck too. I definitely think it is better than the Lexan bodies for this purpose. Don't forget the extra weight of the Fireteam body, weighing in at 1 pound more than the Talion body. Thanks for asking. 😎👍
