Put all your SuperSlick reviews here.

There are many people out there who like to put up reviews of the SuperSlicks and all, but I thought I'd create a thread where we put em all together.

Let me start: Today I bought the blue skyline (49 mhz) and, to be honest...it's great! Well, for it's size and all. It may not be propo steering, but who cares! (probably oldtamiyaphile, knowing the propo freak he is ) It turns just right, not too tight like a ZipZap if you put in the yellow motor and red gears, and not wide like the cars made by "Awesome RC" or whatever. Speed is fine, torque is awesome. Whenever I hit reverse, it will immediatley stop and go backwards.

I can't drift too good with it, I can only do 180's and spin outs. I even put a thin layer of baby powder on the floor, no drifting, though the continuous spin outs were kind of....um.....nice.

Also, with the kit, I bought the body kit (from 2 Fast 2 Furious) and snapped on the 2F2F skyline. It was NICE, a perfect replica.

The runtime is GREAT.....10 minutes before it began crapping out....maybe it's cuz the batteries have been sitting there for a while.

Range is cool, I could go 15 feet and no problems experienced.

Torque is awesome as well....it will drive on carpet like no BCG/ZZ will ever go, unless you use mosfets of course.

The nifty ramp is nice, but no chance of flying off it unless the car is freshly, properly charged OR upgraded with the motors.

Price is a pretty good deal, 20.00 for a car that is WAY better than the ZipZaps.....and stock too! Of course it uses more batteries so what do you expect.

Overall, it's a great deal, you get all that mentioned above for the same price as a ZZ. Of course, I'm not going to open up the insides, my dad has known me to break 7 mini rc cars doing that, and 1 Xmod with the same thing. I will stick with upgrading the motors, and I already have the coolest bodies. I need no more.

Woohoo, enjoy your SS Chuck. They're pretty cool, hm? If you're afraid to do some work inside, then well, try outside. Those metal bars atop the PCB cover are primed and ready for you to attach a lightmod to. I'm sure you could do some nice paintjobs or other customization too. Anywho, my review: Super Slicks..good, bad, or just ugly? Well..in my opinion, they're good. Quicker than just about any other Micro RC I've owned, and certainly the quickest bang for the buck on the market right now. Yeah yeah yeah, propo can bite me. I know its great and all, but these cars do well without them anyhow. Its not just another clunky magnet driven steering mechanism. Its certainly innovative on a micro car. While some may have trouble with drifting at first (I still do) keep up with practice, and you'll pull one off. (I've done at least three fully sideways drifts). The bodies are awesome, theres certainly a diverse selection, and the detailing is not too shabby at all. These things will run just about anywhere and will for sure climb and jump that ramp that comes with it (The ramp is also cool for you Mini Z, X-Mod, and other small scale RC owners). I think if these cars got a decent following, we'd have one heck of a mini rc. Pros: Amazing speed, level of control, oozing with mod-potential, nicely detailed bodies. Charge seems to last forever..and the things aren't as poorly constructed as other micro RC's on the market, mines survived quite a few steep jumps onto concrete, and still gets up and runs like its brand new. Cons: No propo for the propo nazis out there, but if you learn how to talk to the throttle and steering, it can hang just as good. Car size may turn some off. The stigma attached to it being a TRU exclusive (Just ignore where its coming from, the thing is well worth the money. I tend to have Mini RC's break all the time, this one has survived just about every kind of punishment imaginable, and its still tough as the first day I got it.) Overall, a great car..the market is a bit flooded right now, but if we get a decent community of these, who knows..maybe someday the things WILL be propo.
