Title: New Trunigy 1/16 Brushless 4WD Monster Beatle w/ 25Amp System
Post by: gbisht on November 03, 2011, 11:28:39 AM
Hi
I have got my new Turnigy 1/16 Brushless 4WD Monster Beatle w/ 25Amp System It is good in that Price, speed is awsome, may be because this is my first 4WD and Brushless Truk.
It Cost me 110$ including few spares and 50$ For HK-300 3Ch Transmitter with 2 Rx. I think is is good deal for starting in RC CAR....
Car is really fast, I drive it in Grass and it dont stops anywhere

I was planning to get the buggy one for my son to play with. How is the plastic quality? Is everything put together well? At $50, it looks ok.

What spares did you order? The Buggy is $68. Need to get the Lipos and radio. This is a copy of the Associated RC18. Nice to know it works well. Would love to see your detailed review.

Post by: mail4ajo on November 04, 2011, 06:27:52 PM
Yes, RC18. They are twins, buggy and truggy. Now its coming in RTR also. I am not sure if the parts fit. Check and buy. Caster racing also makes the clones.

I think Turnigy is better then Associated RC18, 1. It is Brushed 2. Comes with NiHM Battry 3. Less in Length 4. Cost around 165$ + Shipping (Checked in Blog) 5. Spare is costly in campare of Trunigy 1/18 6. 30Km/h and 40Km/h Difference
I dont think Turnigy 1/18 is copy of Associated RC18, all parts are different, and I dont think any of them are interchangable. We can say copy if we can use parts interchangable, i.e HK-450 and Align 450 mostly parts are interchangabal. and in the sense of outside structure, I think you can get any model in different brand, i.e all Buggy are almost similer in all brands.
I assume you are a begginer in cars. Associated literally started RC car and racing about 47 years ago. Nothing more needs to be said about Associated and its quality.
Yes, Turnigy is way cheaper and is VFM for that price. They have just copied the RC18 concept and made it bigger just like the others. Maybe using different parts. But heard that Caster racing cars can accept RC18 parts

Anything can break, be it an AE or a turnigy, what matters is that how much value for money is your car, if you pay only a quarter of a AE car and get something which is even half as durable compared to original, i would definitely go for it, i can buy heck a lot of spares in that another quarter amount and would still be saving half the money.

Now this truk (1/16 Brushless 4WD Monster Beatle w/ 25Amp System) can be more durable as Hobbyking added its spare parts in Glass Fiber and Aluminum
So if I hit it I can upgrade its part from Plastic to Aluminum at cheap cost....
but I have run it lot but Hit 2 time and break only 2 parts (very less cost) (Front Lower Suspension Arm & Rear Hub Carrier )
and I have huge inventory of its spare so I am ready to run this anywhere... ;)
I must say, this car is Best Car in this Price Segment (in turm of Performance and Durability).. {:)} {:)} {:)} ....
Hobbyking/Turnigy :salute:

Im sorry but theres no comparing hsp and associated .. only few will get what im saying . Hsp is pure VFM. Good for beginners .. for example i havent broken a single part in my losi in a year . Though i have spares enuff for a shop . Dats where losi, asociated, etc are . Pays off in starting early.
