I grabbed a roller and threw in a legit HW max6 1650 combo and I love it, for what it is. My only complaint is the body is made of very brittle plastic. Basically only gorilla tape and edging holding the back half of mine together. Needs reinforcements for sure. Working on that, but honestly it’s more of a novelty. I bash more with my other trucks that are made for it. Light truck and it jumps great, just have to land properly…every time. Looks awesome!

Love the ZD racing brand, I have 3 for the price of one name brand! I can't afford Arma or Traxxas. I've never had that much trouble getting parts. They take a pretty good sh@t kickin'. Good speed, good jumps, my dog chases and bites it, smashes it and tosses it around everywhere. **You need to shim the play in the diff shafts on all ZD or you will smoke the centre diff or diffs. The only time I killed one is when I misjudged and ran into a soccer post like Kev. If you run directly into something over half speed it will break. It can cartwheel pretty dang good without sbapping. I'm very happy with my ZD racing toys and my dog loves them too!

I think that was the worst possible crash. So other than the body, I think it looks good durability wise. With the way it is tuned. I would say it is more of a really rough wooded area and mud basher. The suspension and slow but strong steering and brakes makes me think that is the area to really find out how good it is.

The diffs aren't shimmed well so if you have any problems with diffs you tube how to shim em. Aside axles and arms ours has been great. Welcome to the hobby, its great 👍

I think the impact was pretty tough going and could have been unlucky to break it, and could have possibly broken many other make rc's. Maybe a re test once rebuilt. For me I think slightly over priced for what you get comparing to the arrma and xmaxx, but looks a fairly good car.

You might be able to use the smaller hobbywing program card that comes with esc's, that one somehow supports more esc's. For example on my kraton 8s the bigger one you use in this video doesn't work, but the smaller one that comes with esc's does. You just have to ignore the settings on the program card as they might be different but just check the manual which should have a table with the settings for that specific esc, so use that instead.

Your car took a ton of damage while the X-MAXX had very minimal damage after hitting the pole and bouncing off then landing on its wheels. Kevin that car you have is still awesome and you have not yet had any problems with the chassis yet and the wheels look very nice as well as the body. The whole car in general looked nice.
