This upgrade to the popular 9106 includes new features making it more durable than the original. Find it here And Gearbest mid year flash sales here It's still a large and powerful hobby grade brushless RC monster truck that is tons of fun to drive. Highly dirt and water resistant, it loves kicking up dirt.
Pros
- Large 1/10 scale 4WD car/monster truck. I think this size is best for outdoor fun. Large tires and wide wheel track make this hard to roll over.
- Excellent independent oil dampened suspension system. Really absorbs the bumps in high speed driving.
- 3660 3500KV waterproof brushless motor.
- Larger 60A fan cooled ESC (vs 45A original 9106).
- Large 7.4V 2400mAh battery.
- Enclosed chassis providing splashproof protection of electronics and drive components (original 9106 had exposed components).
- Redesigned/reinforced suspension system with metal bracings and linkages (plastic on original 9106).
- Steel spur (plastic spur original 9106) and pinion gear.
- All metal under carriage plate (original 9106 no protection plate, and motor was exposed in the belly making it impact vulnerable).
- Wheelie wheels on the back (no wheelie wheels original 9106).
- 60km/h predicted top speed (45km/h original 9106).
Cons
- Advertised as waterproof. A better term would be splash proof, meaning you can send it through puddles, but don't try turning it into a submarine.
- A little bit more expensive than original 9106. But the upgrades may be worth the extra cost.
