ECX Temper Gen 2 - Trx4M and UTB18 already had 1/18 scale competition
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
With recent big releases by both axial and Traxxas with the UTB 18 and TRX 4M respectively have caused a boom of interest in the 1/18 scale market. In its second iteration the ECX temper GEN two is a very respectable option for $160 Ready to run including battery and charger. Mine has seen a handful of upgrades including hobby wing 1080 ESC, 1.9 inch bead lock wheels and tires, fly sky GT five transmitter, 20 mm hex axle extensions, pen spring modification, steering servo. The temper GEN two is a serious Rockcrawler at heart and responds well to Upgrades.

The Temper is an interesting one for sure! I’m looking forward to reviewing both of the TRX4M models as well. Quite a few hobby shops broke their contracts with traxxas and have released before the Nov 11th date…….we will follow the rules and wait here 😎…….as you said, no special favors or free products means an honest opinion and review. Looking forward to to bringing them within the next two weeks. Thanks for being here, you’re one of the originals 👍🇸🇪🇺🇸

The rc underdog did a good build on a gen 2 temper and put redcat portals on it. Seemed to perform pretty well

That would be a killer setup having all that clearance! I’ll have to check it out 👍
Nice! Agree.
Any issues with axle shaft breakage? Mine snapped the front off where the hex pin hole is.

No issues with mine so far but I definitely think they look thin and delicate. Are you using stock wheels and tires out of curiosity?

@@SonoranScaleStudios It happened months ago but I think I may have had stock gladiator wheels and trail grappler's on it TBH.. 😂 until then though it was a Stout little preformer. Like you said I always felt like it looked like a spider crawling. Glad yours is still A-OK just watch the tire traps! 🤙
Best budget crawler? Ridge rock or Temper? That would be a great showdown.

A showdown indeed. Maybe worth a look however I think at this point it would be easier for me to buy a new one of each and compare box stock vs box stock. Maybe and idea here 🤔
How did you widen the axles?
