Follow Up Review - HobbyKing Quanum Vandal (also sold as: FTX Vantage, INTEGY i10B, VRX/RiverHobby Spirit, Arrowind - truggy)

Follow Up Review - HobbyKing Quanum Vandal

Intro

The initial review ended with a brushed choice of motor and ESC. They were terrible!!! At first run with 3S LiFePO4 after 20 meters the ESC would stop... And the speed was sooo lame, like 5 Mph.

After this I went back to brushless 3300KV and the truggy body. It was fun to run at the track, and in the park. That is until a screw untightened and I lost a dogbone from the back. That was fun... at HobbyKing it was in BACKORDER, at the local store not in stock as well, a 4mm shorter version from HSP/Ebay proved to be too short after a pack and popped out (lost). The FTX Vantage part from Ebay (FTX Vantage: Rear Drive Shaft (1pc) FTX6214) saved me, as it was a perfect fit :)
