Thunder Tiger Phoenix ST II owners,

please post the pics of your car and
tell about the performance facts
<top speed attained, stunts,max.jump hight>
with your stock car
Try if you can post a video as well
because that would be the best way to show your car
Please do spend some times and make a written review on this thing and post here

Divyam.....where are you??

Haha I have a BX 1!  Quite different.. As far as I know, BX1 is the equivalent of the Team Associated RC10B3 and ST2 is the equivalent of RC10T4...

Either ways, I like the car.. Been running strong for a year with almost zero maintainance... Besides, I have not run any other car to compare it to!

Hardly done any stunts with the car, havn't jumped it too much and I havn't measured the top speed!   

Well,I just saw phoenix and guessed it would be the same.

So I guess you have something like a buggy and the topic is about a truck.

both st ii(truggy) and bx II (buggy) are exactly same in case of motor and ESC, shocks, cvd,s servos,etc
everything is the same on both the cars except the shell(body), front tires

first one is BX, second is st ii

Topic Name changed!!!,
now BX II owners are also welcome

hey Divyam, whats your views about the performance and durability of this truck, i heard a couple of people giving negative feedbacks on the front shocks of this car(they leak a lot)

TOO TRUE!!
Had to get the shocks replaced 2 times!! They leak over and over again!
But that's part of any RC car to have 1 flaw or another..

So i guess the same prob exists with the st2?

this prob exists with even a BAJA 5b but the fact is that it is more persistant with the stii and bxii, you though can get over it by using  your extra piston and replacing them, or buying an aluminum shocks will seal the problem forever

i have the tt phoenix st ii
have recently upgraded it to brushless motor and due to this all 3 gears in my transmission have worn out i.e all the teets have dissappeared
also there is a prob with the front shocks as they come out almost every time you dash..

i includes bronze gears.how did they weared out..?

when did u buy this truggy because probably the older one with the AM radio had plastic gears

what motor and esc are u using on it, also mention the place where you brought it from

no they have plastic gears
and if i can get bronze gears for it plz let me know the source
mine is 2 months old
and i dont know the motor and the esc but the car runs longer and faster now!

hai guys my gears for st2 are worn out almost all teeths are gone.. please help..where can i get new gear???

order online from towers, or try finding at rcskyhobby or modelart

Check modelart bangalore na,

Suraj, your car isnt designed to run brushless. Your diffs will go for a toss shortly.

Tower doesnt sell TT stuff, Try modelart or Rotor Chennai or Singapore.

I seriously suggest not to upgrade to metal spur gears. The spurs are plastic for a reason. Metal spurs will transfer all the force to the drive train and other componenets.

I see many people converting plastic spur gears to metal. Unless your drive train, transmission is metal, its a waste. For example Revo guys convert to metal spur and the transmission which is plastic takes the load.

You mesh your motor/engine right, no need to upgrade to metal. My Revo still has 90% of the spur material intact.

so what am i supposed to do?
cuz if i keep plastic gears then they are going to wear again and again

3 things, I can think of:

1. use plastic gears and keep changing them often

2. Use metal gears and keep maintaining the other components which are more expensive than the spur

3. What I would do. get a brushless ready car, like minimum, a TT sparrowhawk and use the existing combo on it.

i have a phoenix, lat month i bought associatedrc10t4 optional metal gear and got them on my phoenix, and they are going good,what ajo said might sound theoritically very sound but practically i haven't faced anything even close to it

i have contacted rcskynobby... if they have metal spur then i might go for that...
