    I got one when they first came out. Put some sc5 FT shocks on it and an sc10 body and raced it. It’s a great truck.

      Awesome man! At the price they're blowing them out now especially they're a great deal for a great little truck Thanks for watching 🤙

    Thank you and Simon, for the rating per category breakdown.
    I received mine this past January and between my Arrma Vorteks 3s, Traxxas Stampede 2wd, my Trophy Rat's my Stable King! It does the best Hill climbing, and stunt jumping! The only thing I might do to alter it is what you said (heavier shock oil) plus a couple of bodies. The electronic setup in this is dead reliable. I don't need to change anything. I'm looking forward to trying a 3s lipo. I read too many inconsistencies on forums.
    Today, I spoke with a Team Associated Tech' Rep', and he confirmed, no modification to the gear setup needed, in order to SAFELY run in 3s. The inconsistencies were forum members saying alterations to the gearing need to be done in order to properly run it in 3s (WRONG). THAT'S all i needed to hear!
    For my applications, there is PLENTY of speed.
    Sorry that you went through your electronics issues, I would much rather go through my single issue when I initially bought it, the common leaky shocked, I just had to wait for the rebuilt parts and I was off to the races! I haven't had any problems since then. 🫶🏽
    I do plan on having all of My RCS controlled by a radiolink radio. I'll have to say, you got a good ass deal. I paid $300.⁰⁰ RTR, Amazon Prime help with that free shipping.
    Again, Great Review. You should show some of Simon's Race/Competition 🏁 footage, with the 🏆🐀 Rat! 🤘🏽

      @@adibee88 Thanks for watching I'm glad you like your Trophy Rat and haven't had the same issues with it. It really is a great little car. Have fun on 3S I bet it's a monster just watch the motor/ESC temps. I do definitely plan to get race footage as well as lots more reviews and comparisons of big and lesser known brands,. Big plans for the future stay tuned and keep the shiny (or in this case patina) side up. 🤙👊

      I forgot to mention... You said Radiolink. I've been using a Radiolink RC4GS for the last few months for my race cars I'm planning to film a full review either today or tomorrow so be on the lookout. I won't hold anything back so you'll be sure to get the bad with the good to make an informed decision. 🤙
