Default rock force

Was at my local hobby shop the other day and saw the rock force for 269. Good deal? any complaints on this crawler? Ive heard some horror stories.

$269 is a lot better price than I paid ($389).

I personally would still get an AX-10 or maybe a Losi Comp Crawler. AX-10 would be my first suggestion though.

Either a Mamba Max or a Sidewinder would be my personal choice,hard to beat a Castle ESC.

The Rock Force will require a faster motor set up,therefore,you'll probably see higher amp draw. The Castles would be better suited for that IMHO.

Nevermind Mr. Anti Kyosho Harley up there....

The Rock Forces can be set up to work fairly well and a guy can enjoy the hobby. It does require a bit different set up than most platforms run though.

I hope you plan on not running a dig.

Harley does know his $hit ( he has more time and rig's than we all can even have time for.) If the Rock Force was what I thought it would be Harley would not bash it. He would be comping it. So would I.

I think you would be better to buy the Losi over this Rock Force. (for the money it works)

But all in all the worm gear set up just sucks.
