About this deal

I want to do a little adjustment on the linkage bars, but I can't seem to figure out out to remove them? So I bought a couple of these for the kids way back, they weren’t that interested so they went in one of my drawers.

I estimate they will take at least 3 weeks due to the current situation, maybe even longer, no matter what their estimation says (if they do get here in the 5-10 days promised, I'll be very surprised and happy). vs 11mm) where the last stage gear is slimmer (less contact area) and therefore might be weaker - only time will tell. There are a few neat mods, such as swapping the servo mounts, I did it on the front as it puts the servo horn behind the profile of the tires. I would advise you to ensure that the screws are all tightened (I used threadlock on the screws that hold the links). I don't want to spend much, but the original body shell looks like you would have change from a quid to produce it, so I am hoping that an alternative would not be too much for essentially a budget rock crawler.This is a fun little truck, and I get to play with something RC without having to go to the flying field.

Yeah I saw that, those rocksta wheels look huge in comparison, I wanted to get a set of scramblers but they seem to be sold out everywhere I’ve looked unfortunately. Looks to me like it has been in its box position for a long long time and the suspension has leaned to one side and twisted everything out of sync, to me this is because of the mounting position in the box leant over, on one side for what maybe years and the suspension and chassis have had this result. So as it is not waterproof (like me) I went back indoors impressed what this little truck could achieve. This car can drive forward and backward, steer left and right, the high quality of the car enables you to run on any terrain without damage.

The run time is impressive with 25-30 minutes being a lot of time available to mess about with it in a lunchbreak or messing around in the pit area between heats.I then set up a course in the lounge and challenged my Son to see who could complete it in the quickest time (he won). just now, i want to give it a try, i bought a new battery, asked the seller for a hbx 2098 battery, and he sent me a 7,4v 2s lipo battery with capacity around 2000-3000mah. Yeah that would look mean I think they would suit a 1/20 build a bit better, I’ll fit them to my old beat up twin cab Silverado and see how they look on that, it’s 1/24. The steering speed itself is fine with the kit included servo's, they are quite responsive and they are proportional.

The difference is quite staggering, as there is now enough torque to go full lock even on sticky surfaces, and it's slightly but noticeably faster too. Now the wheels are a bit wider than the standard losi rims but the tyres do fit with a slight stretched look to the sidewalls. I have the HBX 2098B Devastator and although the vehicle itself is alright,I think it looks terrible. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The 4 wheel steer and build quality are the best bits for us, unfortunately the tyres are the first thing that needs changing and we added wheel weights.I happened to have a single SG90 of unknown quality (no sticker, could be a genuine TowerPro) and decided to swap the motor as a test. The plug on the charger is a euro 2-pin type but it also ships with an adaptor if you are in the UK or USA. The aluminium chassis looks great and it feels well made, there is also a certain amount of adjustability available with different link attachments. They are small screws that are threaded into ball ends and they could work loose, so I added a tiny drop of threadlock on the link screws to ensure that I would not lose any. Having all of these 4 steering modes available at the touch of a button is something that seems to be unique to the Devastator, and it is something that I am eager to try out!
