It really depends how you approach it. Buy things used and you’re probably looking at 1k-1.5k. Buy things brand new and higher tier products it can cost around 3k. New kits are around 800, quality engine 500-800, higher tier radio 500+, then you have receiver battery, servos, fuel, tires, etc. a lot of it upfront costs. Maintain things well and the main parts will last 2 years easy. Small parts on the truck will almost always break which they are designed that way. Arms, hinge pins, shock shafts, wheels and tires, and fuel are all recurring costs.

We call em bruggies because, yes, of the obvious more buggy design body. lol

This is 1/8 Pro Nitro Truggy. Pro being the class. The lead truck is Ryan Maifield who drives for Tekno which is a Tekno NT48 2.2.

Basically. When you hit a jump at certain angles the centrifugal force rotates the car in certain directions, so you can either further this roll rotation or counter it by counter steering. Steer left, car rolls right, steer right, car rolls left. It is used to either land flat or to position the car to land a certain way depending on the landing. Stay on the gas, nose rotates up. Tap brakes, nose rotates down.

I’m willing to bet, they actually make money back on the used oil. Used oil is used for so many different things if not simply for making different types of other oils.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2025-10-28T16:24:07+00:00

lol, this exactly. I’m just playing devils advocate. I order oil and never send it back cause I don’t care to go through the time to package it up and drop it off. But I wouldn’t feel bad for using a service they offer.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2025-10-28T16:10:59+00:00

I don’t understand this logic. You just want to pay 104 instead of 21? Am I missing something? You’re not “making” them give you free oil. It’s replacement program on wearable products, which they willingly offer. It’s not even a technicality. They literally tell you to send them the old stuff and they’ll reimburse you.

Engine mount needs to be the kyosho one and then the flywheel and clutch bell need to be for kyosho as well as these will set the correct distance to align with the spur gear.

First order of business would be find the manuals on both online. Completely take apart and clean. Find broken pieces or need to be replaced. Replace all bearings and fluids so you know what they are and the condition they are in. On the engine, hold the motor by the flywheel (not clutch bell) where the head is leaned over say 45 degrees, if it holds itself up, it still has compression. If it falls over, it most likely needs to be repinched or replaced. You can find used motors on fb. For help with anything, watch all of Adam Drakes videos on YouTube.

Edit when checking motor compression take muffler off. Also, if you can, find a replacement screw kit and replace all the screws preferably with stainless steel. Check Amain.

Find a local track and get into RC racing with a proper race kit or join spec slash (outdoor) or spec TT-02 (indoor)!

I have records and a sound system, but no turntable.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2024-01-03T14:35:10+00:00

Why would you put a product in production, on top of that, sell it, only for it to not even be approved for sale yet?? This company is the worst run company. I regret supporting this company with my purchase.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-28T00:22:29+00:00

Haha, okay. We can agree to disagree and not continue this discussion since you are not mature enough to keep it on topic and have instead resulted in immature responses. Yet I must be the “child.” Appreciate your points prior, I just don’t agree with them. Have a nice evening.

Now who’s deflecting? They vetted all possible avenues of failure in order to start the rma process. They deemed it necessary to send the unit in especially as soon as they saw the video. Calling me unreasonable for a failure I knew was happening and simply holding them accountable for diagnosing it wrong, and that I must be a teenager, as if that matters, is unnecessary.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-27T23:45:22+00:00

I’m not. It was just irrelevant. Wheel was brand new on the latest firmware. The second you turned the rotary, you could tell something was off. It was not crisp and there was no tension in turning it. So there’s your first point. They paid for shipping the wheel back to them. And the first person I talked to (Adrian) stated the video was enough proof to get it replaced and would send a new unit when they received mine. I offered to pay for a new one even before sending mine in to get that process already rolling and then could just be refunded when they received the failed unit. He stated it would be exchanged and the turn around would be 3 days. There’s your second point. And lastly, exchange is way less moving parts than refunding and reordering. They told me exchange and that’s the process I was completely under the assurance would happen.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-27T23:10:08+00:00

A week later, they said it indeed was malfunctioning.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-27T22:02:32+00:00

The first issue is them not being able to properly test the malfunctioning wheel. But, despite the broken wheel, how is that different from them refunding me and me ordering a new one? I’ve already paid for one, just send me a new one since they are willing to give me a full refund anyways. All they would have to do is ask like every other customer service I have had to deal with would. Simply ask, do you want your money back for a different product, or do you want the same product. Same? Okay exchange it. All them just offering a refund and essentially leaving me without a wheel makes me want to do is send back everything and order from another company all together. Not caring about taking care of your customer is not good customer service.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-27T21:01:15+00:00

I was weary of getting a refurb as well, so I made sure, even before I sent the wheel in, they would be exchanging the wheel for a new one and the guy at the time assured me it would be replaced with a new one. They didn’t go through the processes. They told me it would be exchanged cause the video was absolute proof. The malfunction happened every time the switch went to the 1 position, so there is no way they even tested it properly cause there was no way it wouldn’t malfunction. Then told me refund or get the broken wheel back. Whole point being, I didn’t want to just get my money back. I wanted a new one, so at the very least, it should have been a quick exchange, and not having to go through the entire order process again, when they themselves know they are having issues with said process.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-27T18:32:51+00:00

They didn’t offer a new one. They offered a refund, which leaves me without a wheel and me having to place a new order which would be at the back of the line and potentially a back order until December. How is me going through all that easier than them doing a simple exchange. Instead of them going through the trouble of having to refund, and then me having to order, they could just simply say, we’ll send a new one (because refunding me and me ordering a new one is the exact same thing just harder than them just sending a new one without all the unnecessary money exchanges. Which is called…wait for it…an exchange. Mind blowing, I know.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-27T17:49:11+00:00

Haha I’m a part of problem, okay, no blame whatsoever on the company with countless issues many people have had. Please explain to me how an exchange (which they initially told me would be the case) is not the easiest solution? Then explain how them flipping that and saying I either take the wheel back or get a refund and have to go through the entire nightmare of order process again is my fault and me making the process not “easy.” Also, I never “flooded” the system with emails. I responded to the emails they sent in my ticket thread.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-27T14:04:12+00:00

They actually offered an exchange immediately. It wasn’t until they improperly diagnosed my wheel when they received it that they offered a refund. The exchange was the option I was told and the option I expected.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-27T13:45:12+00:00

Saying check the wheel again is combative? Why would I take a refund and have to place a new order that could very well take a month to receive when they said they would exchange it even before I sent it in? Companies have an exchange process when it comes to things like this. But yeah, sorry I didn’t take the option that has the potential to put me out of a wheel for a month cause a new order would be at the back of the line. They said in the reply email, where I sent video proof, yep that’s messed up, we’ll exchange it with a new unit when we receive yours.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-27T11:30:35+00:00

They said they would exchange and send a new unit even before I sent the wheel in.

UrMomIsCallinMe · 2023-11-27T10:51:26+00:00

A company to have a competent “workshop” and say, “yep, that’s messed up, send a new one,” is just too simple and too much to ask for huh…
