About this deal

when i connected the battery (battery had been charged a little by the seller), the car can move for about 10cm, and after that, motor wont run anymore, but servos still work normally. There are a few neat mods, such as swapping the servo mounts, I did it on the front as it puts the servo horn behind the profile of the tires. This is a fun little truck, and I get to play with something RC without having to go to the flying field. Not a huge fan of big wheel monster trucks anyway, but this is disproportionate to the point of deformity.

Thanks to it's diminutive size (190mm length, 125mm wide) there is always a lot of space to use the car. I had quite a few topples but each time I got a little further as I aimed to get the truck up the tree trunk.

The 4 wheel steer and build quality are the best bits for us, unfortunately the tyres are the first thing that needs changing and we added wheel weights. One very cool feature is that you can easily switch between four different steering modes, with just a press of a button on the transmitter. The throttle is smooth, there is not a lot of range as it reaches its maximum speed quickly, but with a gentle amount of throttle you can slow the car down for more precise manoeuvres. Overall I have been impressed with the Devastator, it is something a little different with the 4 steering modes and the fact that you can make a course pretty much anywhere ensures that you are able to have fun indoors or out.

Drives ok, but really really annoying to look at, and who knows if any problems may arise from it in the future. Here I started to really see some of the benefit of changing the steering modes as the truck balanced on the edge of a rock and I wanted to turn it to reach onto the dirt. TowerPro also now has the SG92R servo that seems to use the same motor size while being faster and stronger, and to be both it can't be just gear reduction, the motor has to be better too. I found that the rear steer worked well at times when I wanted to get the Truck back on track if the front wheels had slipped when lifting the car.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).

This car can drive forward and backward, steer left and right, the high quality of the car enables you to run on any terrain without damage. Having all of these 4 steering modes available at the touch of a button is something that seems to be unique to the Devastator, and it is something that I am eager to try out! Smooth Ride with Shock Absorbers🚗 Conquer any terrain with ease, thanks to the shock absorbers equipped on all four wheels.

One of the main issues is that the battery is integrated so you cannot just pop another in once it runs out. I then set up a course in the lounge and challenged my Son to see who could complete it in the quickest time (he won). I do have a single cab 1/20 yota body lying around that I never finished years ago maybe pull that out.
