Remote Control Cars

[rotare]

Draggin it up again..... my son really wants a car for Christmas, now thinking of getting the ECX Torment as a starter to learn and see how he goes (hes 8 so not too fast required). Getting decent 12v capable charger and battery as well. Trawled through the previous messages and cant see anything on these units, although plenty of online reviews say theyre ok value for money. Could prob get for 20 or 30 dollars cheaper ordering online, but cant be arsed and want to stitch up for Christmas. Anyone know anything about these Torments?

ECX Torment is a good car for the money - but my experience is more related to the 1:10 scale, not 1:18 scale.  It isn't quite as refined as some of the bigger names, but nonetheless they are quite durable and replacement parts are cheap (in relative terms!) and easy to come by either in store, or online.  I've dealt with the guys at modelflight plenty of time over the years, and they're quite reasonable and helpful.

sweet, thanks gents, i'm going to run with the Torment (or Ruckas) basically same but aesthetics I believe.

You know, you really should buy two. Your son will love racing you (that’s what you should tell the other half anyway).

i'd love 2, and may well get a second as my birthday in Feb, just struggle to spend that much in 1 crack..... i'm actually looking forward to making a track for them at home, as we have a lot of space.
