Here it is, the first T San RC video product review! Special thanks to Joe Bielski for helping with the camera work and driving during the shoot. The first review is of an entry level short course truck called the ECX Torment. We were actually pretty impressed by the durability and performance of this $160 rtr truck! Despite our rather aggressive bashing, we didn't break a single part. I picked up a few spares from Hobby Hobby before heading out to Toronto for the shoot, but never needed them. The only thing we changed was the battery. We swapped out the 1800mah NiMh battery pack, for a 5000mah LiPo, so we didn't have to stop to charge during the shoot. This may have changed the speed of the truck during in the video.
So here it is. Enjoy!
If you are looking for an inexpensive RTR RC truck, I'd say go for it! I don't think you'd be disappointed! I'd rate it somewhere along the lines of a 7 or 8 out of 10 for a beginners truck. (not being waterproof lost it a point or 2)
Part two of this review will be turning the Torment into a competent racer.
STAY TUNED!

Sick track in the background!
Thanks. :) It's part of a song I wrote several years back. These videos will give me an excuse to play some of my old songs again!
You can hear the entire song here:
