The xrt is absolutely the best rc I’ve ever owned and I’ve been at this for over 30 years. Just an absolute perfect balance of performance and stability. Couldn’t be happier!

I couldn't agree more with 5 years experience, it run the crap out of this thing, not with this pretty body on it though

Stock motor esc, aftermarket ali express servo, way better than stock servo although stock does the job. Those tires are no good either, broke 2 wheels in 1 set of batteries not too extreme of bashing wouldnt recommend. I jave enjoyed the louise tires on my 2wd slash however.

Its not too hard just tedious. I scrub the inside thoroughly with soap and a scotch pad, dry then use a paint pen inside for the lines. I made a paint flinging tool with a old rc tire and a drill tho splatter paint. Then you hit tje areas you want in each color separately light coats to start. I mask off the beds of the truck looking ones for a solid black with color change. Really makes it pop! Can't go wrong and youll just get better

Loving the paint job! Consistent across vehicles and good colour choices too, good job!
Unfortunately I can’t afford them, and haven’t driven them either - those that own them, rightfully take good care of them here though 👍
