​​​@@TomleyRC running over stuff is fine in itself (his money, also his content style is durability and viral video style carnage of rc's, what brings his viewers), but as a point to be made yet with an inacurrate reviewing, would see as less than good. i.e. what u said when people mistake quality and price, which are 2 seperate things (kyosho miniz or fms is cheap or cheap price, but still quality). Like when people buy $700 rc and when something goes wrong... they say its normal (ofc ppl will want to fix $700 rcs), but to say junk when its cheaper price and it breaks just as often (or even less often!), a double standard.

Thanks for sticking up for this amazing RC.. I was really disappointed in Kev doing that stupid video, he was a total Kevin.! I absolutely loved mine from day one, it took 5 minutes to snip a bit of material from the rear diffuser & then you can go flat out on 3S without any problems.! It's tyres are awesome too.!! I use them on my other 1/10 road cars now, they're especially good in the wet.! I'd avoid using them on salted roads because the springs, screws & driveshafts will rust quite badly.!.. Or at least rinse it off afterwards.! This car is sooooo smooth, agile, quick off the mark & fast as f***.!!! I honestly can't recommend them highly enough.! I've got a gorgeous Killerbody Nissan R-34 Skyline body in white on mine & it's just amazing.! That happened to my input shaft too, a lack of threadlock... Easy fix.!

True, but I've read bad reviews on the MJX 14301 where some doofus didn't read the manual (most of us don't) and went an installed the gyro upside down because he didn't know you could reverse it digitally. And in the MJX manual, they TOLD you how to reverse the gyro. People don't read things. I've seen bad reviews for the awesome Felony saying "der, um, duuuh, da car don't go straight in reverse, I'm a big fat idiot" Not understanding the fact that no car with a gyro goes straight when reversing. People are idiots, and even when you print out the helpful bits on instructions, 9 out of 10 customers won't read them. People are dumb, dumb as hell.

I don’t think Talbot is bad for RC at all! He may break everything he gets, but he almost always repairs it, and most of the time, does it on video. If you are a basher or looking to get into it, then you have to know that you are going to break stuff and have to figure out how to fix it. What I like is that Talbot shows the limits of each vehicle. He also gives us an idea of what types of landings and bashing is most harmful to the vehicles.

I personally wish you could buy all the rtr kits and build them your self but have the prepainted bodys and radio gear in the box, you could loctite and grease as you built them up and learn a bit as you go along. Presumably this would make the kits a bit cheaper and perhaps a better end result depending on engineering skill.

You do get these problems with dealing with Chinese companies. The company I worked for imported HSP cars which is where this car comes from, we had a batch of nitro trucks and 1 in 4 of them they had fitted the diffs in the wrong way round, so the trucks would only run backwards. It took many emails and a video to get them to understand the problem. At least being the importers we could test every one and rebuild them correctly. And a batch of large scale petrol cars from another company that would unbind the receiver when you started the engine. It took weeks to convince the factory there was a problem, then we had to open each one and swap out the receivers with new ones. I would hope that the new cars you've bought were from the first batch and have been sitting on a shop shelf. Once the problem was discovered I should expect CML to open them up and test that the gyros are set correctly before sending out to the shops, so all models sold after you told them should have been checked and corrected as the cost in time and money is less than the cost of dealing with the customer complaints and telling shops and customers how to fix it.

I am not a fan of KT, he does good videos and of course people love him.. For me I got over the appeal of watching someone treat RC cars terribly and then making a claim that the RC car must be poor because it doesn't survive a 40mph jump 40 feet in the air at a concrete skate park.. However he does have a point, the car should not be like that out of the box and as it is now with the gyro reversed it will be impossible to drive,. As a side note I kept hearing him slagging off the UK and his move to the Isle of Mann which is really just a tax avoidance exercise, if the UK is so bad he can go and go riddance, not interested in all that nonsense, just want to enjoy and learn a bit about this hobby we all love.

Thanks for this review. I was upset after Kevin destroyed them without even considering a quick fix. It's a great affordable RC.

Do Dumbo RC do a lefty friendly controller? I'm one of those awkward people who is right handed but can only use the controllers left handed.

Settings in the receiver are the same as the radiolink gyro receiver settings 🤔 Its worth checking the grub screws etc and putting a dab of threadlock on them

I've liked these since they first came out. I nearly got one a few months back but went for the Rlaarlo 787 instead. Always liked my FTX cars. Got a SupaForza, DR8, Zorrow, Vantage and a Hooligan.

If you're in the UK getting the Dumbo RC doesn't make sense. The Etronix EX6G is the exact same. Same specs, same everything. It probably works out wee bit dearer but you don't have to wait weeks for delivery. Which in my eyes, that a big plus straight away.

What's the name of the song it's pretty catchy and seems like a good driving song to add to the Playlist lol Great video as always, they definitely should have fixed the issue by now because once you pry it up it won't stick down as well. it's something that shouldn't have to be done from factory out of the box. I mean with how it's set up at least right out the box you can't go to fast to destroy it while constantly spinning out lol

I've got both colours too. After your 1st review of it 😂, haven't used the grey one. The red is the abused one, hoping to get build.skme display shelfs in the front room soon get them out the garage, also got the kyosho skyline, not to use just for display as looks great from the outside as you know. But basic and brushed inside

Hi Phil, I have just started to get back into RC's and i have watched loads of yours videos, when i saw the ones on the FTX STINGER that made up my mind to get one and i am not disappointed its fantastic 👌. Have you please got a link for the wheels and foam tyres that you used on it as i want to try mine on 3s, thanks mate keep up the cool videos 👌

Some people may remember the days in the hobby when RTR was a dirty word!! Granted the offerings back then were all brushed and entry level, to get youngsters into the hobby. Nowadays there's so much RTR to choose from, and kits are destined for the traditional hobbyist model builders who have the time to build them to their satisfaction. Also, gyros are good for beginners in RC, but you shouldn't rely on them and not improve your driving skills before upgrading to faster motors and more powerful ESC's.
