First off, I know most of you think "save your money and buy a Mini Z".Fact is I own a Mini Z,T-Maxx as well as a lot of Bits and clones.
I have been enjoying this hobby for 20+ years.What caught my attention about the Tokoro "Palm Runner Knock off" was the price and ability to get my friends interested in new things.Some friends look at the Z with all my hop ups and think thats a lot of money.
Now for the review:
Cost---$15.00
It has a working front suspension which can be changed out with the Mini Z springs.
Features a rear suspension as well.
The wheel base is adjustable for all the bodies that are available.Mini Z bodies and Tokoro's can work on each other..
Wheels and tires from the Mini Z can work on them...
You can use an X-speed motor on them as well.
Yes the throttle and steering are not proportional, however it is still fun to run.... and cheap.
Like most I get tired of breaking parts on my big RC's so its nice to have something you can mod that will not cost a lot.Plus at the price I have been able to get some friends involved in the hobby.Can make for a fun guys night, drink beer shoot pool then race...........
PS.
Just because I can and had the extra parts laying around I hooked up 2 extra AA's to it for a total of 4, and lets just say she moved very well.......
Just an FYI for those looking for some cheap fun in this hobby of ours
