Hello RC friends, I'm Jake billing and today we're looking at this product
right here, now this is a Vkar Racing SCT x10 version 2, it's a short course
ready to run RC truck - now if you guys have followed my channel for a long long
time you'll know that I feature a lot of different short course trucks on my
channel, it's also my favorite class of RC - short course for the win! Thank You
Banggood.com for sending me this product for a boxing review today if you want to
have a look at this there's gonna be a link right below, everything you need is in
here remember so if you're interested have a look at the link it'll take you
to Banggood and if you're interested pick one, up it's pretty cool ok. Let's
get straight into this the box took a bit of a beating during the delivery so
I had to take this apart and I've already taken the truck out to have a
look at it just to make sure it's all okay for you guys but let's put it out
of the box and have another look, so I'll just bring you in on this you've got the truck itself there's
a manual and you get a few Allen hex wrenches as well Allen keys and then
there's a little pocket charger for the battery charges 2 and 3 cell lipos
with the mains plug there's a European plug but you'll get a u.s. plug from the
US and you get a three channel transmitter and I have to say this is
actually really nice transmitted to hold that steering wheel it just feels nice
it's got the food rubber grip on it it just feels good good weight to it fits
in your hand pretty well takes four double A batteries at the bottom it's
got a few trim settings and your on and off switch is there nice blue LED so this is
a hobby grade I'll see you guys a straight off the bat you can see
there's the wrap to pull off the body shell let's just go ahead and do that
now
there we go so straight away you can see thebody just absolutely pops oh my
goodness look at those cool printed tires they are absolutely awesome SCT
x10 version 2 now this is supposed to be waterproof but we'll discuss that in
detail in a minute we have a look under the shell you see it's a really nice
looking truck I mean this is about £200 and it's about $240-50 something
like that it's not too bad to take a quick look under this body and see
what's included as standard look at that it's got a dust shroud as standard I've
just clocked those shocks and the shock towers they're adjustable threaded oil
filled very nice can you see them they're blue anodized colour with the
silver white springs and I'm liking these little bash bars on the side so
let's remove the shower cap I mean it dust shroud and let's have a look
underneath what have we got here it's a 3300 kV brushless motor 4-pole and
you've got a 60 amp ESC let's just stick that back down yeah not sure why that's not
stuck down but as you can see it's just stuck in there as it should be now maybe
you got knocked loose during the shipping there's the Radio 3 channel on
top and there's a power switch just next to that as well the steering servo sits
underneath it's quite nice to see and this is the controversial part okay it's
a waterproof claimed system however the receiver system there isn't in a radio box so
when that gets wet I think it's going to lose communication with the transmitter
and will lose control of the truck so I don't know how it can be waterproof but
perhaps that receiver is waterproof and we'll just have to test it and with the
conditions we have in England it tends to be quite wet and rainy most of the time
so other than that I'm not complaining guys this looks like a cracking first
short course truck if you just get into the hobby I mean this has got a metal
motor mount you know a brushless systems as standard it comes to the battery, let's have
a look at the battery all right here we go there's a two cell lipo that this comes
so you can run up to 3s in this which is 11.1volts but
this is a standard four thousand milliamp hour to 7.4v
25c discharge, these are very basic batteries guys you'll probably want to upgrade
this straightaway to a 3 cell lipo and you
find the truck will respond a lot better for you when you're out there bashing in
the dirt but nonetheless a good starter pack you can plug this into your charger
that it comes with and you'll get off the ground running quite quickly so it uses
Dean's T Plug connector for a power connector for the ESC and also notices some foam
inserts so if you want a bigger battery you can obviously fit them in by taking
the foam inserts out it looks like the driveshaft is sealed
and under that center piece of plastic in the middle there and I like these
little chassis braces again I'm loving the printed side wall text on the
tires and the tread those tires that's quite nice actually they almost look
like intermediate tires that are sort of dry dirt they look alright as a starting
point, you could always upgrade them or change them, look at the bottom now you
can see the arms and there's the hinge pins holding those arms on you can see
where the shocks screw into the arms coming up to the main part the chassis
straps there for the battery feeding through, a cut out for the steering servo
again front arms then you can see the hinge pins and the front bumper there
just noticed as well it's got some metal steering arms here at the front of the
truck and also I notice the truck has sway bars now the shock absorbers here are
adjustable so if you want to change the tension you can just screw this down and
the return rate will change on the truck but at the moment I'll tell you what it
feels really well-rounded of course you've got differentials as well in the
front and the rear so it's a pretty upgraded truck just out the box as I
said before short course trucks are my favorite class of RC so the proof will
be in the testing with this thing let me take you out and I can let you know if
it's any good or not but I can tell you straight away it looks promising I'm
hoping it'll be good so this gives a size comparison this is Senton 3s BLX
and this is the Vkar SCT x10 version 2 you can see they're very very similar
sizes if not the same size the wheels the body the bumpers everything is the
same scale that both 1/10 scale so far I'm hopeful this will be a really good
truck so there we have it guys that was unboxing for the SCT x10 version 2 from
Vkar Racing, now this product was sent to me today from Banggood.com
