Awesome little basher,I love these little machines,you can have fun with them in a limited space and easy to carry around, as always great reviews and great videos, always looking forward to the next one!!!!
Yes! I am VERY fortunate. When I moved in this house, the garage was a mess. Super dark, no lights, no workspaces. But over time I have been able to make some big changes.
I have the Deerc Tachyon and i am very happy with it too. I've played with it every day for 3 weeks now still haven't broken anything its pretty dirty now too. Got mine for $159.99.
I have the brushed version of this platform and I really like it. I’ve always been interested in this one but as you said the price point was a smidge high for me. Even $150 is questionable considering all the great 1/16th and 1/14th brushless cars on Amazon nowadays. Personally I think $115 is a fair compromise between deerc and its consumers. I’ll be checking for this one come Black Friday. Thanks for another great first look.
1st day 1 of my batteries junk but deerc is replacing it but again will be taking 2 weeks for the replacement as they don't have any in stock. The 2nd battery craps out early. I should of done more research before buying it.
@RoadsideRC car will run for 30 seconds and shuts off lights start blinking. Turn power off back on something. Sometimes it'll run maybe 5 minutes at full charge. Other battery will run 15-20 minutes. Wait for battery to cool off then charge again and it'll do same as 1st battery. Deerc is very easy to work with is a plus.
Does this come with 3s batteries ? I’m a novice and don’t know what 3s means but every video I see with a RC car with a 3s battery goes like a bat out of hell
Here is a quick guide for you: "X"s is a cell count. 1S = 1 cell. 2s = 2 cell. 3s = 3 cell. Each cell is good for 4.2V when fully charged. That means a 2S battery charges to 8.4V, while a 3S battery will charge to 12.6V. Clearly - more voltage means more power! Many vehicles can run various batteries. I didn't test to see if this truck would run 3S, but it did great on the supplied 2S.
These are pretty tuff for the price point including that $40 off coupon! to me you get a lot for $140. Another way to go about is buy a Brushed one for like $70-$80 and get a cheap brushless set up which might save you even more in the end! Either may be a great choice! Awesome and fair review Troy!
looks good handy spare parts see pros and cons know your thinking upgrades on test pretty nippy its getting a good bashing you didnt break it *like👍Au💯full view😎have a great weekend🥨👺*

Yes! You got it right.
Thanks Thomas!
Guy, you have a sweet garage set up. Love the built ins and tool chests. I have always wanted a garage. My work area is in my basement.
Yes! I am VERY fortunate.

GREAT! Glad this has been good for you. Thanks for the feedback!

Good call on the Black Friday sales! I will also be interested to see if it drops!
Thanks!
Like button smashed 😅
Great Video Troy😅
Thanks 😁
Can you grab one of those granite groms next and let us know which to buy first between it and the Gorgon? Battle of the 150ish bashers!
That is easy - the Gorgon.
I have tested a lot of small bashers like the Grom. They are fun, but just can't do what the bugger trucks can.
Pretty cool 👍🏻

Odd that the batteries have issues. You just say "junk" or "crap out". What actually happened with them?

@@Godgreenzngunz Probably not a battery issue, most likely a charger issue.
How are you charging it?
@@Godgreenzngunz Can you use a lipo checker to see the voltage per cell?

Nice! Great price!

Thanks 👍
but can he also drive slowly?
A little slowly
@@RoadsideRC The trigger has a large dead zone and a soft start is not possible
@@hansmuller6209 I didn't have that situation on mine.
@@RoadsideRC You don't have a dead zone on the trigger when driving forwards and backwards? And can you drive off smoothly?
