Associated Reflex 14MT

First impressions & drive with the new Rexlex 14MT! Got off to a rocky start, but it ended well. This is a longer than normal run. The beginning of the video is the first impressions, the middle to end is the driving impressions.

[@RazorRC]

Thanks for the shoutout! Nice run, great overview of the truck, fun little ripper.

[@GreatLakesRC]

Your welcome! Appreciate you watching 😀

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

You still running this Aaron?

[@GreatLakesRC]

Yep! It's still in the collection

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

Really cool looking truck. It's weird that at that price they couldn't have included metal gears, and an unlocked esc with a programming card. When are we going to see a mini e-revo on the channel?

[@GreatLakesRC]

Thanks Jason! No plans for a mini e-revo. If I get another driveway ripper it will be an LC racing truggy. They make a kit version, so maybe a winter project. I kinda want to try your most hated full size Revo 🤣

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

@@GreatLakesRC I am a huge fan of the Revo. So I was super disappointed when the 2.0 came with that garbage esc, I one day will pick up a 2.0, and swap the esc before the first run. And do a few other things.

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

Now saying that. You should try out a Corally. Had the Shogun out the other and what a monster.

[@GreatLakesRC]

@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs I do want a Corally. It's got to be different than what I have though. Another truggy isn't going to hold my interest. That's why I am super curious about what they have in the works. An Asuga would be an option too. Parts support is my biggest worry, but I can get over that 🤣

Hello! I have just got my hands on one of these, so am curious if ther are any "must do's" prior to running it hard - eg change to metal shocks, change to metal spur etc. Thanks!

[@GreatLakesRC]

Only issue that I have had is with the spur gear. It's already starting to wear down. It's been a great little truck!

[@stevec9704]

I have the 1;b gamma, pretty much the same vehicle, the speed control needs to be reset and at times the set button can be altered by accident when switching the car on. It took a while to get it squared away for me but once it got dialed in it work great. You can change the settings with the button on the on/off switch. I also took the receiver out and replaced it with a spektrum.

This thing rips pretty good Aaron, also seems to have decent air control. I too , tend to mess with smaller cars with the kids, just seems easier. Your son's beggar seemed quick also. cool vid

[@GreatLakesRC]

Thanks! I think it's a pretty decent little truck! I don't even remember what brand truck my son was driving 🤣 Might have been a deerc 🤔

[@CommanderAstigRC]

That's a Cool MT to rip around the pavement Aaron. That's sucker rips! Looks so much Fun and seems to last a long time. Sweet deal Bro.

[@GreatLakesRC]

Thanks Chris! It's a pretty good driveway ripper 👍

[@rccrazy]

Oh yeah and personally I would drop to like 3500kv if I was to run 3s which I would of course🤣

[@GreatLakesRC]

It would be outrageous on 3s 🤣 Plus those plastic gears would not hold up well. I did find out that team associated makes aluminum gears for this car. Kinda destroys the value though.

[@MRBRUSHLESS]

Awesome video my friend nice 😊 share good score on the Reflex.. good review on it and good runs great job thumbs up 👍

[@GreatLakesRC]

Thank you!

[@HL-OOI]

Plastic gears are ok for 2s..even some race kits comes with plastic gears..😂 AE is all about upgrading to Factory Team parts.. 😂

[@GreatLakesRC]

That is very true! I did see the upgraded gears on their website. They must have just taken a bit to get around to it.

[@rccrazy]

Man I really wanted one of these they look awesome but they are SOOOOO expensive here in Australia😱 Maybe one day when they are on sale😅 Awesome man!

[@GreatLakesRC]

Really? How much are they in Australia 🤔 You have a pretty nice stable of small cars, this would definitely fit in nicely 👍

[@rccrazy]

@GreatLakesRC I've tried twice now to send a reply and it's failed😅 So I checked and it seems the MT version is not in Australia yet but the buggy version is still around 350aud or like 230usd. To kinda put it into perspective a wltoys 144 1/14 brushed is as low as 80aud on ebay Australia and it has all metal and alloy parts, and they do like 70kph on 3s Perfect for yard bashing👌

[@livegood9876]

I second the request for the mini - E Revo 1/16!

[@GreatLakesRC]

Ah geez! 🤣
