it's a reaaaallllllly bad knock off. banggood carries it also, and has closeup pictures that show the lack of quality on this rig: XK K949 1/10 4WD 2.4G RC Climbing Short Course RTR Sale-Banggood.com 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

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. Last edited by amorton94; 06-30-2015 at 10:06 AM. |

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. XK K949 1 10 4WD 4x4 2 4G RC Rock Climbing Short Course RTR NEW | eBay WL K949 XK K949 1/10 2.4G 4WD Electric 2.4G Remote Control Truck-171.75 | GearBest.com DealsMachine: WL K949 XK K949 1/10 2.4G 4WD Electric RC Car 30KMH RTR Wild Truck (Cheapest at $129 USD) Might be a real wise thing to do, might be really stupid as well lol |

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??!

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

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...

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!
