On a scale of 1 to 5; 1 being the lowest and 5
highest, here's my scoring...
Steering/Control (Score: 1)
The Muscle Machines uses a Motor for steering, but it's a sort-of hybrid
between motor/gear driven steering, and still uses the centering spring
(like from a Bit). Out of the box the car steers HARD to the left, and
even using the trim all the way over doesn't help. It's going to take
some modding to get that steering working properly.
Styling & Looks (Score: 5)
Very nice detailing, both on the chassis and the controller. The mark
of good detailing is how close can you get to it before it doesn't look
so good anymore...Get right up on this Charger and it still looks REAL
nice. Also, these cars look like a shrunk down version of the real thing,
no distortion in scaling here. Only negative thing I could say is that
the blower on the hood of the chassis is a bit overkill for me, but
since it's screwed on, it wouldn't take much to redo the hood.
Portability (Score: 3)
These Muscle Machines R/C cars have a nice little feature with the Controller/Charger
(more details will be seen in the pics when I post them). The kit comes
with a battery case with a power port on top. When charging the car,
the power port plugs into the bottom of the car. Then when you're ready
to race, pop the batter case right into the controller. There's no mounting
the car to the controller to carry nor a belt clip on the controller
though.
Packaging (Score: 3)
Nothing particularly outstanding, but nice.
Speed (Score: 4)
This thing is putting out a good amount of speed, very satisfying. Unfortunately
the shotty steering ruins it.
Overall Score: 3
I can't give a higher score because the steering is just horrible, if
you're intent on just looks though, then I have no problem recommending
it. Pictures coming shortly. |
