Rad 2

Post by R Cane »

Guy near me has a Rad 2 on Craig's...I really don't know much at all about this model, but it looks interesting and in pretty nice condition.
What's the low down on this vehicle? Was it a decent performer? Break easily? Is his price reasonable?
Thanks!

Think of the rad2 like a losi junior 2. Plastic chassis but good gearbox and suspension. Plastic shocks are fair at best. For the money it was a killer entry level car but they did break chassis, idler gears, and plastic shocks. Good car but not 150 worth imo.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

150 would be a good price if it had the graphite chassis upgrade.
I do wonder what the 'many' upgrades are in fact.

Maybe you can talk the price down if you get him to sell the electronics separately?

I think the gears are still the same on the rustler so that makes the gearbox really good for a vintage racer project
