The radio looks like a 4pl

it's a reaaaallllllly bad knock off. banggood carries it also, and has closeup pictures that show the lack of quality on this rig:

scroll about 3/4 of the way down and it shows the electronics in the rig and the cheesy looking shocks.

My only concerns would be the plastic they use, fitment of Vaterra parts and also the shipping. Also like that you can use paypal. I say go for it and test it for us lol

i looked everywhere for that 4pl knock off.. anyone have an idea where to find it?
its a cheap knock off, digital that allows up to 5 cars.. looks pretty neat for a beater radio..

Bad knockoff? The one posted in the op is spot on. The one banggood carries has independent rear and isn't near as close a copy.

Edit: I should have clicked on the banggood link first. Haven't seen that one on there...weird. Only one I have seen on there is the independent rear one I mentioned.

Regardless, looks half ass decent. I'm really thinking of picking one up. For the cost it should be worth it, hopefully.

Fawk that China clone shit.

Wow it sure does.

Both of these bring back the T-Maxx days, iirc it was Banggood that had almost carbon copy of Traxxas T-Maxx and few people who bought them compained that the engine didn't last long, parts interchange with real Traxxas was hit and miss fitment, low quality plastic parts and rough fit and finish. I would not buy this crap.

lol

Obviously...

SO anyone planning to get this one and try? I am planning to get a TH and will be upgrading the electronics anyways... this gives me more budget for upgrades. There are a few available online.

Might be a real wise thing to do, might be really stupid as well lol

Re: TH knock off......WL K949 - $189
 

Is it possible that these are exess stock of the old RTR (given the paint Job) that have been sold off cheap as a "dry" chassis and the 'Chinese" have put cheap shocks and electronics in. I think I'm gunna get one as soon as I convince the Wife that I NEED another car to spend money on??!

Re: TH knock off......WL K949 - $189
 

I was thinking the same!

With shipping the $129 one is $171, so that is still the cheapest out there. I am really thinking about picking one up.

Re: TH knock off......WL K949 - $189
 

Most of the TH owners have replaced the electronics anyways so this might be a good deal. Who will pull the trigger? :)

I really want to pull the trigger on one, but I'm juggling like 5 hobbies now haha and the rest are calling my wallets name! Shock placement would change along with the shocks, obviously. Electronics would go next on favor of some budget brushless setup. Radio might actually stay. So there already I'm looking at a few hundred. Ugh the decisions...

Looks like one I'd get my son to beat on and learn driving skills before dropping big money on one to race.......

Cheapest version they have and it looks pretty similar to the Twin hammer.

Whoever buys one, if you please give us your review and a few notes on the parts compatibility with the Vaterra, that'd be awesome!
