Stupid cheap hobby grade rcs from Jegs.

[slick2500]

Both are RC10 clones of some type, they look decent and seem to be worth the $49.99 each.

Stinger 1/10 2wd Buggy https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/44100/10002/-1

Holeshot 1/10 2wd Stadium truck. https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/44200/10002/-1

The versions with a nimh battery cost $50 more, totally not worth it for those vs these.

$14.99 for shipping though.

They also have rebranded CEN straight axle brushed monster trucks for $99.99 which would be pretty formidable with a brushless system

Not bad I might have to snag 10-15 of those suckers

Found the OEM https://ameblo.jp/g-forcehobby/entry-12748209728.html

Only released in Japan though.

I love how the prepainted body costs $43.49.

You could drop 200 bucks and get the buggy, convert to brushless, some oiled shocks maybe, and some wheels and maybe have money left over and you got a fast buggy for under $200.

It comes with oil filled shocks.

It comes with oil filled shocks.

I meant upgraded shocks because to be honest, there’s no way shocks that cheap perform well, let alone hold oil without leaking.

These were originally priced at $167.99 when they were first released months ago. I saw these and actually posted about them in another thread where I was looking for a 1/10 scale buggy. They are on sale for $49.99.

I'll try to do an unboxing when the Stadium truck comes in, I only have my phone to record videos and I don't have a tripod so I will see how it goes.

 

[RCbuzz]

Thanks for the share Slick!

I am leaning towards the stadium truck! Looks like alot of fun for the price. Probably not worth it if your planning on upgrading, the Typhon 3S was just on sale for $230.

Parts support always a worry too for these off brands.

 

[arrmadillo]

At least they fly the Jegs colors.

The Stadium truck looks like an HPI Jumpshot ST. The shell has HPI's design language all over it.

 

[RCbuzz]

I thought that too until I saw the chassis on the Jumpshot.. I am guessing the provider of the Stinger made them a special stadium truck as well.

So uh, anyone else see the estimated ship date for the stinger buggy? 6/23/23? Cool as heck for $50 though.

 

[KnowAir]

The ST is available for immediate shipment though.. definitely cool for the money but parts? IDK. I just scored an xl5 bandit for free from my brother. Even gave me a vxl3s system with it. I can't believe a $170 brushed buggy comes with bushings instead of bearings in this day and age? Wow! Talk about greedy,LOL.

I think Traxxas still uses bushings in their brushed stuff too.

The Stinger looks like it went back to regular price on my end.

The XL-5 equipped 2wd vehicles are indeed still equipped with bushings. Only the VXL models come with bearings. It should be noted however, that the transmissions are bearing supported regardless of model.

Yes the TRX brushed stuff still comes with bushings unfortunately.
The Stinger is still available with radio for $50 but unfortunately they're backordered till 6/23/23.

That's good to know. I've already installed the vxl system but with the brushed gearing it's a bit slow.. I'm thinking of putting rustler arms and tires on it and keep the bandit body.
