Found another RC started sale in market year 2002. Not that famous when it sale, people on that few year always looking for HL518, HL vantex or Mantex for driff.
Is a RTR set come with body, remort, charger, tools and manual. With HL SPEED 540 motor, only using Nimh battery.
Another sunken rc collection. Buy for Rm150, saller from kajang, cod Bangi kip mall..
This units use a basic ESC, AM receiver, motor and given a lipo 3S 11.1v battery can't use power to strong for this 7.2v esc. Front camber hub change to aluminium alloy. Chassis colour heavy coroded due to battery acid. Lhs wheel crack, steering can't turn, but I happy own this China made, looking almost 2 year in Facebook sale.
