Great shots blasting through the dirt buddy!

[@Competitionx]

Thanks man! A lot of fun even if it was a bit lacking in power.

[@REPLAYRC]

It's a great rally. I really like rally cars too, so I'm making a lot of rally car videos. Good job, buddy.

[@Competitionx]

Thanks. We love Rally too - ALOT! :)

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Realy loving all these new Rally cars this scale. Fun fun. Time for some rally action races in this scale....

[@Competitionx]

Yes, 1/10 Rally for a fun, 1/8 would be awesome!!!

[@RcBasherBoi]

That definitely looks nice!

[@Competitionx]

It does! Fun to drive as well!

[@socalboomer]

nice tribute to Colin McRae

[@Competitionx]

Agreed. Such a good looking ride!

[@dakk_s3994]

What is your opinion for this car after the test?

[@Competitionx]

It looks fantastic and the handling is good, however it is definitely under-powered. Looking at dropping a new system in here to speed it up a bit. That should boost it's appeal points quite a bit.

[@dakk_s3994]

@@Competitionx ok thks 😉

[@tomp5764]

Can this run a 3s?

[@Competitionx]

The ESC is not rated for 3S so it's a do-it-at-your-own-risk type of thing. However, a motor/ESC upgrade would really wake this car up!

[@tomp5764]

I understand that. I normally upgrade the esc, gears, and other stuff to make it more durable

[@Competitionx]

It works great, just slow. Power upgrade is definitely a must if you want to have fun with it.
