ECX (Electrix RC) Circuit RTR stadium truck reviewed

[jeremycollins09]

IF YOU PUT A BRUSHLESS IN IT, TRUST ME YOU WILL NEED THE METAL TRANS UPGRADE

[reizp]

i just got this truck but just a roller its actualy going brushless in a few days good truck

[rickygrerwe]

I have one

[RobinnTech]

Nice videos (y)

[ruberducky0]

the reason why its slow is only the cheap battery that comes with it

[xXStupidAssXx]

I have one

[seankwon123]

an you do a review on the Torment PLEASE???

[flufy5890]

Where did you but it

[drayclay1000]

monster xx

[slash4x4lipo]

how much are crystals? i have a lot for sale i dont know why...

[7982rick]

this car i am getting 37 mpg with a 7.4 lipo u have to change a few things like the trans putting metal gears in learned that after 4 trans i will post some vidoes soon

[fuel4sandman]

The car is slow with the stock engine like he said but I swapped my 20 turn dynamite with my method I suggest doing the same a lot more power and faster

[raingingbungholes]

do you think this car is as good as a rustler?

[7982rick]

@raingingbungholes  no trans are better in rustler

[TheFlippo123]

@raingingbungholes well this is much cheaper 120 and the rustler 200 and the speed is not a big difference

[Idontreallycare80]

@TheFlippo123 No, speed is a big difference nowadays. With the traxxas 7-cell and stock gearing, the WATERPROOF rustler will do 30mph, while this does roughly 17 mph. Not to mention the rustler comes stock with a 2.4.GHz radio.

[Mautty]

@Idontreallycare80 Only the VXl comes with the 2.4GHz the Xl5 dose not.

[TheFlippo123]

was this made by dynamite because the battery looks like it

[MrTacman7]

i got that truck and it cost me 159 canadian dollars i wish the battery lasted longer for more fun but over all the truck flys.

[StormtrooperStars]

i got the Ruckus and i was wondering how to make it waterproof and go faster. can you make a video of how to do that

[StormtrooperStars]

how long does the 12 turn motor last?

[TheFlippo123]

which one o you prefer this stadium truck or the duratrax evader ext2?

[13kawasaki13]

Thanks also would this be a good truck just for bashing?

[13kawasaki13]

To me it seems like the dinamite motor in it isn't very consistent from truck to truck like the one in this video was slow as balls but I see other videos on YouTube with the same stock truck and stock battery and they seem descently fast

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@13kawasaki13 I haven't seen any videos that show a stock one looking any faster to the trained eye. Horizon's own video makes it look faster, but that's through the use of a lot of zoom and a dusty track that accentuates movement. In my videos I don't try to make my vehicles look fast, as I'm not trying to sell them. I let folks see how they actually look.

[13kawasaki13]

@jumalco they are the exact same vehicles hljust different bodies and a narrower front tire

[poppopscarvinshop]

Thank You for Being Very Honest! As This Will be my First RC of Any Type, I Think it Will Get me Started Quite Nicely!

[jumaclo]

hi jang i really like all your videos im a begginer at hobby rc cars im wanting to buy the electrix boost buggy if you have time can you please make a review of it

[gatzuberserker]

hey jang, can you please review the rc cars from nitrorcx, im really skeptical about them and i want your opinion which is always honest, thanks.

[MrAxmea]

they have aluminum shock for sale now I believe.

[blacksmith311]

i juat saw this at my LHS and was very curious to know if it was worth buying for my 13yr old cousin. Thanks, he will be getting one soon!

[synkro834834]

t wrench 4 nuts! lol!

[pretzil16]

is the motor a 540 or 550? thanks

[Carlos16valvole]

@pretzil16 540

[dfoose1]

Why do u guys review such cheap no name brands?

[TheMoDzNaTiiON]

is this upgradeable(probably)

[dj27nitro]

i have the rouckus CAN THIS GO THRO MUD cuz the ruckus FAILED!! the ESC got wet and went on fire! Ruckus may2011 to april 2011...

[TheBrushlessracer]

almost toy-grade rc car

[Elkhunter6c]

Hey jang could u please do a electrix ruckus rc review I want one and I want to see a good review thanks big fan

[fdelapena001]

I just got this RC vehicle, so far I've already upgraded the radio to a 2.4 Ghz Spektrum Radio, and added anodized aluminum adjustable camber kit. Overall this is not a bad RC vehicle for the price. In in the process of upgrading this to a brushless system as well. Overall, this is a tough truck considering I've already smashed it directly into a tree, Flipped it over pavement twice in a row, and it is still kicking.

[nicholas2090]

you should a vid on you collection of your cars

[derbyboy18]

hey i got something to ask you i was wondering how u know it can handle a 12 turn motor just wondering and would i have to buy a pin for it and a spear gear for the 12 turn motor

[derbyboy18]

hey do i have to break in the engine

[twade33]

how much faster does it go withe different motor?

[twade33]

Jang, Witch do you think is better, the electrix RC circut, duratrax evader, or exeed sunfire?

[twade33]

should I buy the electrix circut or the evader ext2. Im looking for a cheaper car because i'm a beginner.

[johnmw13]

im thinking of buying th duratrax evader ext

[garagecrap]

Great review!

[MrGrapebook]

i like your shirt

[TheHuntingTerminator]

will the ESC handle a 12t 550 motor or only down to a 12t 540 motor?

[steemy2]

Nice review! A friend of mine picked this up as his first hobby-grade truck and it's definitely worth the money!

[GJCrawler]

a cheap upgrade is the Titan 12T,it can be used with the stock ESC and works good for me,you would need a bigger pinion gear and smaller spur gear to keep the 12T from getting hot.

[KTMBOY1112]

if i put a traxxas xl-5 ESC, 12t 550 motor how fast do you think this would go?

[hondayamahafan]

what is the difference between this and the duratrax evader ext

[OPTICTester1]

How Fast Does It Go?

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@OPTICTester1 Answered in the video. It's about 17mph bone stock.

[thatoneguyra]

@UltimateRCnetwork

Jang ive been watchin your vids since you where making that...uhh i think it was diablo stadium truck, idk it was all red with red anodized aluminum, and i still watch your reviews. but i think you should do a review on the electix ruckus, i think its a bit quicker but idk, i know it doesnt keep up with my brushed 15t pede but off the line it takes me by a foot then i fly by.....but i want a pro to do a review so i can really understand the truck lol...

[XxQuAdRiDeRjxX]

@OPTICTester1 20mph

[MBfishboy13]

R u gonna review the electrix rc ruckus ?

[wiibert]

do you have any word on the durability after driving it? I've been disappointed with cheap RC's looking strong but getting beat up quickly. If you do a brushless review also you should talk about how the transmission and driveshafts hold up.

[peroxidal]

check out mine.. i upgraded to 5800kv brushless and i run 3800mah nimh

[chenainai100]

Please can we see it with a brushless motor?

[91Mudflap]

Don't get it if you want speed. My friend got on a week ago and he's done every possible upgrade without switching to traxxis parts. The 12 turn motor heats up very quick and the gears are shit. Hes gonna switch to aluminum gears. Since he's bought it he had to replace the gears six times. Forget about the speed just don't buy it. Save up for a savage

[chenainai100]

@91Mudflap I'm new to the hobby so excuse me if this doesn't make sense, but on the electrixrc site there is a 15 turn motor.

[bemeu2]

I have been in RC a lot longer than Utube. It took me a long time to figure out how to review your videos that I have been enjoying for quite awhile. I have several cars run tham frequently. A lot of kids in the hood are interested in purchasing one. This looks like a winner for these guys. Thanks for the great review and you have helped me a lot as well.

[stw9495]

I've got one of these, and I love it. It's taught me a lot about stadium trucks, and it's plenty enough truck for me, so I don't get while people knock it so much. Going to get a 12t 550 Titan this weekend, lol.

[FRYEGUY247]

couldnt u use t4 or losi gears on this to go brushless

[Slovflyer]

I have been missing my Rusty since I took it apart for my Slash. Maybe this will fill in my ST role now considering it's so inexpensive and my LHS has these in stock! Just hope spare parts are supported in the long run! I'm thinking mild BL motor on 2s. Let's see that brushless review!

[chenainai100]

Could I use any other parts on this from other companies, i.e. change the motor and that stuff?

[bubu8947]

This is the one of thee best show ever on youtube. Great job cant wait for the others...

[allthatstuff35]

looks like a rustler

[tw8e60]

Great review, there is a friend interested in RC cars, I'll be sure to recomend this one...

Thanks

[pagakpak]

jang, can you put a brushless motor on this truck and make a video. i wanna see the comparison on handling between the rustler and this truck. TY

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@pagakpak I'm definitely going to have to try that!

[arcadeidiot3]

@pagakpak i have the velineon 3500 on mine its uh alost the same as the rustler....as far as speed if you dont want wheel stands all the time use a 23t pinion on stock spur gear it still does wheelies but you can control it ill have a video tomorrow

[austinkx09]

did you just run it with the stock battery pack? i bet you can get more power with a battery pack and switched the tamiya plugs to traxxas or deans plugs

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@MTBbikes Most of the things I review I buy with my own money.

[RadioactiveLegos]

Gear diff or ball diff? Seems sorta like the next Evader ST :P which is a good thing...

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@RadioactiveLegos Gear diff, but plastic transmission gears.

[rccrazer]

the style is alot like the kyosho ultima rt5 too!

[wormy456]

ok sounds good.. but hows the parts support?

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@wormy456 HorizonHobby has 'em all and they're actually shockingly inexpensive; cheaper than parts for just about any 1/10th scale vehicle out there.

[Hughes4508]

@UltimateRCnetwork i have had horrible luck with finding parts from horizon most suspension parts are now on backorder and cant be had for 2-3 months , as i mentioned in my other post , has anyone had as bad of luck as i had ? I cant even get a front Bulkhead/pivot plate , for the thing , and most parts from other cars won't fit it ! so if anything breaks i guess Were S.O.L ...no more ecx for me .

[timidbuck]

their is a reason losi strike is so cheap.BAD KIT!!

[wirelesscps]

looks liek a Traxxas rustuler

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@wirelesscps Far more advanced & modern design than the Rustler though.

[stampedevxl]

I would rather get the duratrax evader ext2, and jang, why don't you review higher level stuff? Your buying all this low-class stuff that a lot of people don't care to much about, we all appreciate you, but why don't you review kits like the hpi cyber 10b and some kyosho kits?

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@stampedevxl A lot of people don't care for lower-cost kits, true, but the majority do. Low-cost RTRs outsell racers by a huge margin, so I review them because so many people are interested in them, and not enough people with experience take them seriously for reviews.

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@stampedevxl Also, proper testing of racing RCs requires comparing each vehicle, on the track, after days or weeks of tuning, head to head against ALL major competition to give any truly *useful* info. Most folks just say "oh its fast its planted its awesome" in reviews of race-level kits, or run them solo or with minimal tuning, which IMO defeats the purpose.

[thecoolkid102]

@UltimateRCnetwork i love this car got it yesterday perfect for indoor races i was taking out slayers with vileniums

[austinkx09]

@stampedevxl dude if its stuff you dont care about dont watch it

[18SHYBOY18]

@stampedevxl yup the evader is pretty awesome looks great and its fast for being brushed oh and it sure can take a beating too

[TecIsAwesome]

i have it at my hobby store and its 149.00 but if u get the 200.00 dollar one u get another battery and a onyx 250 charger aha, but my dad wants one for my track to compete with my slash, would u get this or a rustler, because i think im going to get the rustler just because it willl go pretty fast, and its 179.99 at amain what do u think i should getg

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@TecIsAwesome $150 is a total rip-off -- your hobby shop is asking way too much! If you have the money for a Rustler it will be faster in stock form and have a lot more upgrade parts support. The Electrix RC vehicles really aim for the lowest price point available, not the highest performance out of the box.

[radmaxxxx]

@TecIsAwesome You got ripped-off, Dude! The Electrix Circuit is supposed to retail for $119. Hobbytown USA sells it for that price.

[deadeye120596]

great truck..but the body is a litlle to big for the tires that are on it...but some bigger tires and that will look great

[TheArceus911able]

how fast water proof or not ?

[theeviloneohyes]

agreed , nice priced truck there but you get what you pay for , nice for beginners but not for me sadly , awsome review by jang there , way to go bro

[traxxasslash26]

What! $100-$120 o.O WOW thats a steal!! :D

[HPIxDrift]

@traxxasslash26 no...120$ Losi strike is a steal. it may not come with crap battery but it does come with a 2.4 system.

[TecIsAwesome]

@HPIxDrift but will it even go fast worth sh*t sorry fo my language
