ok went to burlington today. got a clone.

Image

for the price these things kick ass.

Image

how can you go wrong with such finely detailed designs and decals saying
"farfamed" "nicety" "apparition" and the best and most controversial "white unique power" as well as "top flight super"

Image

as you can see we have your standard clone in a dome here. now with these thunderfighters(my 2nd) you have a shitty ass body and a really good chassis/electronics/motor.

Image

49mhz

put her together charge her up and nothin. battery charges, but nothing on or off the controller. D.O.A. beyatch. im sure it can be fixed(pcb swap) but since ill be a block away waitning for a bus i may as well go get another they have a ton.

sooooooo lesson learned today: clones are like russion roulette

they are pretty torquey but id guess its pumpin about 30k. a perfection motor would beat it in a 20foot but a 10 would be close.

i bought another one and it works fine. its like a thunder charger motor

"pink clone motor" but this is the "whitish grey clone motor".

they look a lot like zip zap motors. they really like dual cells.
