Let's Try This Again!! - Killerbody Mercury LC70 Review

[@guest6423]

These are fiddly kits, obviously, but some of the remaining issues are due to the assembly. Your 2wd/4wd servo is backward. Fixing that will put the horn at a more neutral position. See pg.18 fig.9. See how the whole servo moves when the horn is forward? That's because it's binding, trying to bend the rod. That will burn it out. If the end-point adjustments are off -even slightly- on either shift servo, they will die. The shocks are crude, but I think you should have added the diff fluid before being critical of the bouncing. Leaf springs break in over time; if you like them on the first run, then they will soon be too soft. If you haven't owner leafers, you may not have known. To complete the diff locks, it helps to understand cables with a non-compressible housing, like on bicycles. Others have struggled with this part. I know that you bypassed it. RC4WD and RCRUN have scalers in the price range. What's out there that isn't hundreds more? There's plenty to be critical of with the kit, still. Killerbody probably should have made it an RTR, because of the complicated build. Reviews would be much better.

Yeah I appreciate I'm no master builder, which is why I highlighted some of the issues could have been down to my lack of skills. I was hoping it was going to be awesome, but I was disappointed with it, as you could tell. I know I wasn't the only one that found the build painful and had issues, Scale Builders Guild has far more skills than me and even he didn't enjoy it. 😬 Some of the other reviews I watched just seemed to brush over the issues! 🤷‍♂️ I didn't bother with the diff locks as I never really use them tbh with the type of trailing and mudding I do. Once you add up the cost of the chassis, body, electronics etc it's not cheap and you could get a better performing scale rtr or a better kit for less imo. For me personally I think something like the FMS FJ40 is better value for money and performs better with great scale looks or an RC4WD TF2. Hopefully Killerbody will make some improvements and can come back with a v2 which is much better in the future. 👍

Body looks great, chassis is not so great! Sucks it has been so many headaches!

[@DoURC]

Yeah I love the body. Chassis wasn't much fun! 🤣🤦

[@RCBirds]

Great car, I like the body on the body😉 Not liking this weak chassis.

[@DoURC]

Yeah body is great but the chassis is a let down tbh.

[@TerrancePillay181]

Nice vid RC MUD KING 🤴

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate 👍

[@breizhcrawler6639]

Après l’avantage est que le châssis correspond bien au scale les roues ne sortent pas et restent dans l’alignement du Toyota, je veux laisser en 4x4 permanent par contre, donc je pense bloquer certaines fonctions 😊

[@DoURC]

Yeah, but tbh you could get that with a better chassis using the same body. 👍 Would be easy enough to lock it in 4WD, the RWD is kind of pointless imo. 👍
