The Ruckus seems to be a durable little 4WD monster truck, but it's a bit slow.
Enjoy!

i just got this car recently and for someone going from toy grade to hobby grade this will seem like a rocket. now, i have driven many rc cars that are hobby and toy grade for over 8 years. so in my opinion this is a great little car for the money and is defenitly fast enough to be fun on all surfaces
I'm liking the new varied reviews. Who the hell would dislike this so soon?
Jordan O'C Lots of sad haters here in UA-cam land. Oh well, I don't take it personally... just makes me feel sorry for people that feel the need to dislike the (free) hard work of others. :/
Flyin' Ryan RC Yeah, I agree on that... Such a shame. Maybe UA-cam should only let you dislike something if you've watched more than a certain percentage of the video? That will force people to watch it and reconsider maybe? :D
Jordan O'C I have sent them that exact feedback many times. They really don't care, I don't think, since a view is a view, and they get their ad revenue either way. :/ And, actually, even dislikes count towards giving my videos better search rankings. Any "voting" activity counts, so even the haters are just helping my videos get better rankings. :)~ I have had several times, though, where a hater clearly went through and disliked numerous videos of mine, one after another, and clearly couldn't have actually watched them. But I also think some people use the voting system to comment on the product, not my actual video. So, if they think it's a bad product, they will dislike the video. I wish people could, or had to, pick a selection from some sort of drop-down menu about why they disliked the video.
Flyin' Ryan RC Oh right, I didn't know that. That's pretty cool! Well... As "cool" as someone disliking each one of your videos can be haha. But yeah, UA-cam really needs to implement at least something to prevent spammed dislikes.
I remember having this as a younger kid so much fun to drive when that time lasted
I have this truck and it is fun. I ran it till I blew up a motor and had the wheel bushings worn out. Upgraded to ball bearings and replaced the motor and covered it with hosery for going in water. Great video. The batteries are the same. 😁
If I'm not wrong, I think it's recommended that NMih batteries be charged under 1C @ 9 hrs., for the FIRST only initial charge, with the use of an old fashion wall charger. This "break in charge" is to slowly charge a new battery so that the next 1C and above faster charges , off a hobby grade charger, will allow the new battery to have a longer run time. ... (You may want to call the Tech Department at Horizon to confirm this. ) This process is something similar to the first initial charge of a new 4 or 6 C NiMh Receiver battery pack, which is also recommended by Hobbico and Futaba to charge with a wall charger for 23hrs !
That rating is the battery’s capacity. 900 milliamp-hours (900 mah) means you could draw 900 milliamps of current for one hour before depleting the battery. With a 1,200 mah battery, you can draw more current for the same amount of time, or 900 milliamperes for slightly more than one hour. You are looking at a marginal improvement going from 900 to 1,200, so it’s unlikely you’d notice a difference in operation (maybe one more minute of operation on a full charge). That is to say, they did not misprint the label on the packs.
With that comes longer charging times, of course.
Additionally, increasing capacity does not necessitate making the battery physically larger.
Nice review!
Hey Ryan im glad you have started reviewing cars i love that keep it going man!
monkeymaster26 Thanks! :) Trying to get more coverage of all things RC. :)
I drove this thing around my school. Got caught only once.
Many of those spare parts are small clips that you put on the shocks to make the suspension stiffer, and I think I say pistons for the shocks, those change the speed at which the shocks will go back to their normal state after being compresed by a jump or bump
Before ending watching this video, one WARNING -> NiMh batteries has tendency to reverse polarity when fully charged! If continuing charging, voltage will continue to drop and batteries become very hot - DO NOT continue charging if batteries reach or cross 60 degrees Celsius !!! Not only it may destroy batteries, it may catch fire if charger is powerful enough (has enough current to do it). Use only specialized charger with thermo-probe for temperature measurement! If you damage one or two batteries, that is one thing - but if you burn your house... no good...
EDIT: It is better to be at 'conservative' end; do not charge if temperature reach over 45 degrees Celsius. This is because thermal mass and inertia... when charging stops, temp may continue to rise for a while.
Thank you for your attention.

Thanks for the information because all of my rcs
use those batteries.
Huge Lugia You are welcome. It is my pleasure to help other people, as I got help from others. Please provide simple 'thumb up' (to my first comment) so that it stays relatively on top of the comment area - many other people may find it useful too. Cheers!
***** Maybe my poor English. For Imax B6, it is LM35DZ - three pins, +ve, +vout, GND. This +vout gives you output voltage proportional to temperature, IIRC 10 mV per degrees Celsius. Find datasheet about LM35DZ probe. Some clones of ImaxB6 ("LiPro charger") has three pins inside, but not connected anywhere, some has - as is the case with original "SkyRC" charger.
***** Yeah, I got the genuine SkyRC imax B6, was harder to find than the fake one. I dont have the temp sensor cable but Im gonna check temps with my laser termometer. It seems that charging at 0.5C the battery doesnt even get warm.
logitechz3 Yes, the lower the charging current - more charge can be storred in the battery. Usually I am charging with 1C, but if needed 2C maximum. Very rare charging over that rating.
Hey Ryan! Great review. I agree, leaving a battery on a charger for 9 or 12 hours is out of the question. A hobby grade charger would be a must. Thanks for sharing and happy RCing!
georgesjunglerc Yeah, this charger really worries me. Very bizarre call on Horizon's part. Pretty irresponsible, actually. :/
I had a ecx smash 2wd I put a 8 volt helicopter battery it went so fast I beat slashes at the track but I fried the esc/reciever with it it was great
I bought mine and happy with it but bought mine used for 40 dollars so pretty good just for starting off I guess
Really? I just paid $155 for mine, but I bought an extra battery that's better than the original and also an upgraded charger that charges both batteries in 30 minutes. Wow, that was a great price for yours. The car itself was like $100
For a small inexpensive car it preforms well. I agree with you about the battery compartment. Some brainy engineer came up with that design.
The esc battery connector slips through the slot up top behind the left tie rod. And then u use the battery door in the bottom. Cuzz now the connector will be accessible. No need to take the shell off. And turning on is just a slip finger through side of the shell
I have a 1/8 scale nitro I really love this brand of rc it is durable and worth the money
EverThingOutDoors I think traxxas is better Durable ey, my brother hit my $450 traxxas Trx-4 bronco and the body cracked and wasn’t even going half throttle and a u joint broke after first day and shock cap came off. Luckily I fixed everything except for the body and the receiver is held on by a sticky pad so that cane off still haven’t fixed it my trx4 bronco didn’t take any damage
I'll consider it. I have a 1:10 ECX Short course truck called the Torment but it needs some work.
TomBom292 I've got another one coming on Friday... the Dromida DB4.18. :)
Flyin' Ryan RC Oh! That sounds great! By the way, A request for a review: the Interactive Toy Concepts Neptune N2 3ch Helicopter.
I got the 1/24 ruckus and it's very fun but the one weak point is the steering pushrods but u can cut a credit card and drill holes and it works fine and is much more durable but I haven't broke one driving yet only when taking it out of my pocket lol
thanks Ryan, not a bad starter truck of me :)
im thiking of getting 2 of these for my girls they seem to be like you said fast enough to be fun but not fast enough to hit something n destroy it like I did with my iron track 1/10 spatha. broke the bottom front a-arm clean in half by hitting a brick at 80% throttle lmao I temporary fixed it wit hotmelt glue until my parts arrive it really works quite well lol
Remember when the traxxas stampedes went 18 mph, and that was blistering fast? now 20-25 is slow for a tiny truck! lol good review, might pick this up to bash in a tiny part of my yard my rc10t3 cant fit in.
jbatacan2 My Stampede 4X4 VXL certainly goes faster than 18mph! :)~
I am really sad, my ruckus does this thing that it drives but I dont do anything with my remote control. It just drives out of nothing. It then also turns to the right out of nothing. And that goes on for half a minute or so. It happens really often. Does anyone know how I could fix this?
Good review. Maybe the intention is that the battery remains in its compartment and is charged in situ. I'm surprised it's not using LiPo batteries though.
The truck looks to be fairly tough and fast enough for a younger use.
Also only use my hitec x01 on the battery. If the inner parts of your rear diff start to grind, hot glue gun the inside of the planetary gears. You can get the bearing kit as well as a gearing kit. 👍
Great review. Even though it's a little slow, it looks like you had fun with it.
ThatsBS RC Yep, though, to be fair, I can have fun with nearly any RC. lol :D
Flyin' Ryan RC Sooo true for most of us. Haha.
Durable ey, my brother hit my $450 traxxas Trx-4 bronco and the body cracked and wasn’t even going half throttle and a u joint broke after first day and shock cap came off. Luckily I fixed everything except for the body and the receiver is held on by a sticky pad so that cane off still haven’t fixed it I also use a tenergy tb6b fast charger and get a full charge in 10 minutes
Nice RC! Good for the money you pay!
get a plastic welder,weld the bottom shut,then cut the top of battery compartment open and its fixed...easy to care for and swap batteries out.
these rc cars are now customizable, with aluminium parts and brushless motors. not recommended to upgrade though
bought mine yesterday im happy with it
The lead is supposed to go down thru to the battery tray Ryan.... cmon man lol where have you been?!?!?
nice little monster truck my friend nice review as well have fun RCing
Hey Flyin,
When will you be reviewing the NEW ARRMA 1/10 Granite MEGA Monster Truck???
Thanks
Tick Tock I have been thinking about getting an Arrma, but I haven't looked into what all they have, and which one I think would be the best to review. I'll check it out when I have some time. :)
Interesting. I just bought one of these, but my remote is slightly different? I paid $155 out the door for mine with an extra better battery and charger that charges batteries in 30 minutes. The upgraded charger charged the original battery in 30 minutes BTW. Yup. Hobby grade charger too. It's plenty fast for me as a noob and my 3yr old son. The upgraded battery is also supposed to make it faster too by 2 miles or something like that.
I'm getting for Christmas this will be my 4th rc car/truck
But my one is going to be slight different
This one:www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Horizon-ECX-1-24-Ruckus-4WD-Monster-Truck-RTR-Black-White-RC-Car-ECX00013T1-/311474619296?hash=item48855583a0:g:AWAAAOSwhcJWMjaG
+COSMO-THE-DOG I am considering review that smaller version too. :)
In your video the ruckus does look a little slow I have one and mine seems faster u do have the duel rates for the throttle maxed out at 10 right cause that will improve the speed signifigantly
Ben Pyka Yep, I had the rates maxed. It probably just seems slower on video. :)
I have a suggestion, maybe if you can mention the product that you will review next video or maybe a hint or something I'm pretty sure your viewers will be more exited for the next video you will upload and wait for it :D
I can't do that because of the way I film. I only film reviews about once a month, and I review maybe 15 to 20 products at a time. So I really have no idea what order I will release them in at the time that I am filming them.
Ohh now I understand :D
I am new to this, what kind of charger do you recommend?
OCEANLIFEZ Well, if you plan on sticking with the hobby, and accumulating a lot of different types and sizes of batteries, you should get a nice hobby-grade charger, like the Dynamite Passport Ultra that I recently reviewed. There are hundreds of options though.
+Flyin' Ryan RC hey Ryan do you know what connecters those are ?
+jerryleelewis92 matt kirby I own this truck. the connector for the battery is called (EC3)
HOW TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC BUSHINGS WITH BALL BEARINGS

The mAh isn't dependent on the size of the cells. It's about the cell composition. You can get battery cells from 300 mAh all the way up to 5000 mAh without changing size. So if the battery says 900 mAh then it probably is 900 mAh.
While that is somewhat true, it is not entirely true. No way you can get 5000mAh in a battery cell this small. But, sure, give or take 100-300mAh it could possibly be the same size cell.
+Flyin' Ryan RC Of course, I was referring to Sub C cells for my example. I bought some 1200 mAh 2/3A sized cells, which is what that pack uses from a supplier so I can make my own packs. I believe you can get that size up to about 1500 mAh if you don't mind spending too much. Unfortunately the most common size is 300 mAh as this size is most commonly used in cordless phones.
I've seen the 2/3rds A NIMH cells rated as high as 2000mah (but that was really a stretch of the manufacturers imagination). The highest rated pre-made pack I've seen is 1600mah (by duratrax) And op is completely correct, it's a rating of how long the cell will hold a charge at a 1 amp draw. Has nothing to do with more batteries, unless you were to hook up two packs in parallel + to + and - to - With a y connection like the monster trucks used to do before the age of lipo. If they were to add an extra battery it would be in series (+ to -) giving you 8.4 volts Instead of the 7.2. With just random bashing, you may no notice a massive difference in run time between the two like you would on a track. especially as I doubt these are high quality packs (anyone remember matched cell packs?) , the pack is only as good as the worst battery.
All that said, been looking for a good starter for my kids so I don't have to worry about finding replacement parts for my aging rc18mt. I think I'll order one of these and give it a shot. Thanks!
The ESC cable goes into the hole of the battery compartment, if you keep it there, you'll only need to replace the battery from under and no need for removing the bodyshell.
Is that correct? I am thinking of buying it.
+FEDERICO DEVOTO Hmm, I can't remember if I tried that, and it was too short, or if I never thought to try it.
I purchased one and the connector does not fit inside the battery box together with the battery, so yes you need to both open the body and the under tray to swap battery. I only have one battery so what I do I just disconnect the battery from the ESC without removing the body and put it to charge while still in the car.
How do I fix mine it won’t drive forward or backwards I’ve only had it for a few weeks and it doesn’t drive anymore
Mc Lx my Roost just did the same thing. I think it’s my drivetrain or pinion/spur. Something like that. Did you ever figure out what happened to yours?
Why not stick the wires from the ESC into the hole for the battery? Then you can change batterys from the bottom
+Garrett McQuade Yeah, someone else mentioned that, and I honestly can't remember if I tried that, and they wouldn't reach, or if I completely didn't think to even try... :/
Does the charger have an LED on it? Some of them do ......sometimes it goes out when the pack peaks, and sometimes not, as you know.
+Trapper Crumet Nope, no indicator whatsoever. :/
+Flyin' Ryan RC That's too bad, at least for the newcomer
I just got one and the canopy removal to plug it in frustrates me to no end.
err... feed the truck battery connection INTO the battery bay maybe? ;)
Very convenient if the door actually stays closed.
What charger did u use because I'm thinking of getting it but if the charger doesn't look safe then I wanna get another
I have several chargers. I have reviewed them all too, so check out my Charger Reviews playlist for some ideas. :)
I bought a 1/18 ruckus and the battery also said 900 mah so I dont think they mis-labeled it
I have a question can you run a 2 cell lipo in it
CORN DOG yeha
Flyin Ryan,
Which MT do you prefer the Redcat Volcano18 or the ECX Ruckus18..??
Thanks
+Tick Tock The Volcano 18 is more fun for me, but I think the Ruckus seems like it may be more durable.
Does it have any parts to replace on ebay for it if so how much
Between the ruckus and volcano what would you think performs and handles better?
I got this for 2017 Christmas best Christmas gift ever mines go 45 mph
MrTlove87 unless you have upgraded the engine,batter and ESC then no it doesnt. 25 tops
I can only imaging how many rc toys you have :).
+AweSomo84 Too many. lol
Ryan I have two questions what kind of battery is on the la traxx sst and can review the latraxx sst and rally they are both nice affordable rc cars
Watch the review of the latrax teton. They are exactly the same, but with different wheels and body.
I noticed you reviewed the ECX Ruckus and the LaTrax Teton. Which one of the two do you like the best?
Nice review! Congratulations! Vs latrax teton? Most durable rc car? Most durable esc and servo? Pros and cons?
Hey do you know where I can get Cheap rc car I just want to know because my parents don't have enough money to buy me one that expensive
Check out Banggood.com and GearBest.com They are both Chinese stores, and they have a ton of cheap RCs.
Hi just brought one I found it doesn't steer straight
Nice review! The one thing I will point out is that that number in the battery is the capacity. (How long you can run the truck)
Yeah, that mAh rating is essentially the "gas tank" size.
Flyin' Ryan RC Yup.
-note- do not drive in tall grass and try to turn because I did that with mine and it broke the steering servo..
TGR FLUX might have broke anyway. probably a dud that you recieved.
Jkou Files no, my truck wasn't a "dud"
it was a lemon
Obviously it was a dud
lemon
hi ryan !
between ECX ruckus and Redcat volcano 18, which one would you prefer?
+Sports Highlights Channel Volcano 18 seems faster to me, but the Ruckus seems more durable. I am not sure if those are just my perceptions though, or if they are true. So, which you choose would probably be based on whether you want speed or durability, and/or which one you think looks cooler.
Flyin' Ryan RC thanks for sharing your view! :)
I think i'll go with the Ruckus, its durable and got all the trimming and stuff in the transmitter and it looks cooler than the volcano
:)
because you don't can upgrade them ?
i think the battery thing is like that so if you go in water the battery dosent get wet
Amimal Jammer That's not what it's for. It would have the same amount of protection if the battery bay was on the top.
Hey Ryan how much do you have to charge it for how long
I am try to get into the hobby what do you recommend that Is not to high in cost but durable to play with my nephew
That is really too vague of a question for me to be able to answer. I'd suggest looking through my playlists and see what catches your eye, and seems to be within your budget. Maybe narrow it down to a few choices, at least, and then I could help you from there. :)
Mine is making a weird sound I don’t know what it is
Cool video!
hey the charger you were talking about... where could I find that?
Thomas O'Brien This is the one I use: ua-cam.com/video/lWQr7TV3H7Q/v-deo.html
Battery is there to lower center of gravity
so ryan would you suggest this or the RedCat Volcano 18 to buy if you where to only get one
HOBOkiller15 I personally like the Volcano 18 more. If you are young, or an inexperienced driver, you might find the Ruckus easier to control though.
i'm 25 and i've been looking at them and i like the brush less version that ultimaterc reviews a little more expensive but i like the speed and i can use existing batteries for it as well thanks for the help :)
11 minute run time .. He'll no... I know nothing about rc cars ... I want one for no more them 300 $ ready to run 20-25 mph and half hour running time .... Any suggestions would help??? Thanks
I do not believe such a thing exists. 30min run time is insanely long for an RC vehicle, especially if you are going that fast. You would surely overheat the motor.
well not going 25 mph but my stock Axial Deadbolt with 35t motor and 5000mah battery does 2 hours.. the stock moter that came with kit was easy 45 min. believe me,,i was shocked at this going from racing to crawling.
s legar Oh, indeed, crawlers get much longer run times because they are barely using much power unless you're constantly going up a huge incline. :)
Which one do you think is better. This one or the redcat volcano 18?
I think I enjoyed the Redcat more, for whatever reason. Not really sure why. I think it seemed faster at least.
man ryan you need to stop doing these it makes me want to get them :P
nice reviews as always :)
HOBOkiller15 Hahaha! :)~
Flyin' Ryan RC and it's official i just got iron track spino brushless version of this and it should be coming Thursday thanks for the review Ryan i'm way exited to get it and try it out
HOBOkiller15 That's gonna be awesome! I love this truck, even with the brushed motor!
hi flyin ryan i bought a teton an i was wondering if they have led light bar for tge teton do you know any web sites for led light bars for the teton
There isn't an official one from LaTrax, so you would have to find some sort of custom one, and figure out your own way to mount and power it.
Alright bro thank you 😁
That might be fun to put a small FPV rig onto. Fast but not too fast,
That would be fun! :)
What other charger do u use for 1hr charge cuz i came up to just charge the ecx ruckus for 3-4hrs with the wall charger using a timer or r u just saying u still use the wall charger for 1hr
Adrian Pantig I use a Dynamite Passport Ultra for charging at 1C, which takes about an hour.
Thnx
I just dont want to be bored because its a only 1 use each day to play with
Adrian Pantig You could buy additional batteries. ;) Though you should let the motor cool for 15min or so after each run.
Is the Prophet Sport NiMh 35W the same...dont wanna spend that much money
Flying Ryan were do you buy the Flying 3d x6 because i try to buy from banggood but this guys don't want to ship the to Puerto Rico.
I got mine from Banggood. I don't know who ships to Puerto Rico.
Nice what's it
Like owning
So many rc's
Very nice review. It seems a little slower than the Dromida. Maybe it is geared lower as the motor is bigger on that. The charger seems to be the weakest link! Also I am testing the upgraded brushed motor today in my Dromida since my first one went out and it wasn't the esc!
The RCAddict Yeah, this is probably geared for more torque, being a monster truck. Man, your Dromida has been a handful, it sounds like! Did you break the motor in?
Flyin' Ryan RC Yeah, the pinions on the mt are 12t and 45t. the other models use a 13t and 45t. Would I be able to put in the 13t for a little more speed? Yeah, I guess I will just stay away from grass :/ I broke the old one in for 5 minutes and have done the new ones five minutes forwards and have done about 10 backwards so far
The RCAddict You should do it much longer than that. I run my entire first battery charge down by running at as low of throttle as I possibly can for the entire battery duration.... which can take 30+ minutes. I stop and let the motor cool for a few minutes every 10 minutes or so. As for the pinions, I think you can do that, though I'm not really sure, as that's not the sort of thing I mess with.
Flyin' Ryan RC I ran it forward for about 15 total and backwards 15 so I think I am good now but I had it upside down going outside so it wasnt loud inside and when I came back 20 mins later I saw it out in the middle of the yard in the grass just straining to go at low throttle. I went out and the battery was dead and it was so hot it had melted the hot glue I used on the on off switch, put a small bubble in the esc plastic, and when I put some water on it to cool down it boiled it for second or two...I hope I didnt just ruin another motor and possibly the esc...:((((
Aren't the NIMh battery packs the same size for most Mah?
+Everything I suppose that can be true. But, my charging measurements are what I based my info on to determine that the batteries are the same mAh rating.
What is the pinion gear in it
Hey flyin Ryan I want to buy a plane wat do u recommend or quad copter
The indication is that if the battery is hot
Would be great for a small kid 5-8 slow enough
Hello,
What is the voltage on the battery??
Thanks
Tick Tock You can see the voltage printed on the battery in my video. Or you could check the purchase link I provided in the video description... I'm sure that covers such info as well.
I have the same one and I think you you need to have a full charge to get its full potential speed
+THE GAMING PIG'S The battery will provide full power down to pretty much the last minute or two. And I did start my run review with a fully charged battery.
+Flyin RyanRC It just seems like it's not getting full speed mine goes at a pretty fast on the flat road
+Flyin' Ryan RC and have you thought that it may be a 900 milli amp and not 1200... It may have been mixed up
+THE GAMING PIG'S mAh rating has nothing to do with power output. That is basically the "gas tanks" and affects how long it runs for, but not speed. It is probably due to it being harder to judge speed on video... it looks faster in person.
Flyin' Ryan RC I do agree it does look allot slower on video
Brushed or brushless motor?
cut the battery-case on the top and fix the battery with some rubber...
How many kilometers Speed？？
1/18 ruckus and Teton
It goes like 12 mph
I got that 2 days ago and I pruned my amps up on it and charged it and I changed it in 45 minutes
Pruned amps?
Can u do a video showing all of ur rcs
how do you take care of a nickel metal hydride
www.batterystuff.com/kb/articles/battery-articles/proper-care-and-feeding-of-a-nimh-battery.html
What's the difference between brushed and brushless motors
Brushless motors are more powerful and have a longer lifespan than brushed motors. But they are more expensive .
Flyin' Ryan RC thx for letting me know I'm new to the rc world so yea thx. Have you done a review on the wltoys l939??
Hey Ryan...Iam a great fan of urs and I love watching ur videos...😊
BTW...can u tell me which one is better - LaTrax Teton or ECX Ruckus 4WD
My requirements : 1.Best off-road capability.(Waterproof,Run on thick mud)
2.Speed
3.Tensile Strength(if I crash)
They are pretty comparable. I think the Teton is a bit faster, but the Ruckus seems like it may be a bit more durable.
+Flyin' Ryan RC ...please see my requirements...
I think I covered your requirements in my reply, didn't I? The Teton is better for #2, and the Ruckus is better for #3. And, if I recall, they both cover #1. You would have to check my reviews to see if I mentioned if they are both waterproof or not... I can't recall for sure. But, be aware that running in mud is a good way to overheat the motor and break parts.
Now working?
There definitely is upgraded metal parts for this truck
Not from ECX themselves. Maybe 3rd party parts.
what do you like more the volcano 1/18 or the ecx ruckus 1/18
Volcano seems faster, but Ruckus seems like it may be more durable.
What name of the charger that you use instead
I have several chargers I use. I have a bunch of charger reviews, if you want to check some out.
2 things...is it water proof. and what's the top speed
I can't recall now off the top of my head, but I surely covered both of those in my review.
Flyin' Ryan RC the reason the battery compartment is at the bottom is because you can pull the plug threw ever time you change the battery. meaning so you pull the old battery out with both plugs threw the hole and unplug the then cram it back in after you put an new one in
Kolby Johnson It's been so long since I had this truck, I don't quite recall now, but I'm pretty sure the plugs didn't fit through the opening or something like that. I know I tried figuring it out, and couldn't seem to get it to work.
Flyin' Ryan RC all right I'll try it when I get mine
I enjoyed your walk and terrain change :)
I've got a pretty decent "RC park" all around my neighborhood. :)~
