Any experience with technicala's RTRs (ebay)?

[Ghost Koi]

Hey guys,

I am looking into buying this RTR from a seller named technicala on Ebay. They seem to have a decent seller rating and the truck looks really great but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them before?

Specifically, what were your impressions of their RTRs?

Here is the truck.

Custom RC 1 10 Jeep Wrangler 4x4 Metal Rock Crawler SWB Short Wheel Base RTR | eBay

They're not showing any real pictures of what's under the body, and imo the price is a little high for an unknown "crawler" that is being sold by someone that seems to know nothing about their product. Not sure, but those kinda look like RC4WD axles? And Axial tires? I wonder if it's just something that's being thrown together out of a surplus of various parts. I sure wouldn't want to be the first kid on the block to buy this thing to find out weather it's any good or not.

I have purchased parts from him. He is a good seller. Not sure about the RTR crawler.

Send him a message to see if he could post a picture without the body on the truck. etc.

Looks like the China Wrangler body and axles and tires that might be legitimate RC3WD components.

Does anyone else have any experience with their RTRs?

You know what they say if it's to good to be true!!!! You are always better off spending your money on a guaranteed item. For those prices you could by an rtf or kit and deck it right out. It would suck to spend that money and only get what you see in scale items and stock electronics etc..... Buyer be ware or scared in this case lol. Good luck

Add shipping cost to that price.

Most of these ebay chinese sellers are not even into crawling, let alone their knowledge about quality components.

People who are only for earning money from this hobby,cannot bring products that add value.

Yea... that is what I figured. I guess I just thought a (near) stock JK two door would make for an interesting model/crawler.

For the record, I decided not to purchase it. If anyone does though, please let me know!

I've seen a few of those, and they seem interesting but I'm not personally willing to take that much of a dive into it.

Also, I think I yelled bulls*$T so loud I tore my larynx when I saw "240 amp esc" in the description.

Totally agree.....to much to pay for some mystery machine which is probably made of the cheapest chinese parts they could find. :roll:
