anyone know anything about these, bought one last night, not a clue why, but it looked like fun and was cheap :)

anything that needs to be sorted ie any known problems

trinity spyder pro 1/18th scale two 1200 mah battery packs, servo, mini t sport motor, reedy mini max modified motor+blue alu heat sink, rc18t oil filled shocks fitted + stock shocks and full ball bearings. This car is like new only used a few times comes with instructions and original box


for the grand sum of £31

looked cheap enough to take a risk and if its pants let the dog chase it round till it catches it and eats it :)

Hi Tony,

I've not met anyone whos own one.....so can not really comment of whats what with the IB Spyder

The IB Spyder was not a very popular Micro :( I think it got a bad rep from the peeps over the pond....and it never really took off over here!

I take it it's the version that uses hump style packs?

Sounds like you had a proper bargain :D

Have fun

Lee

yeah thats right got hump pack cells, last time I saw them they were7.2v 1100mah and in my old tamiya hornet, that was about 20 years ago LOL

oh well its more for fun than anything else, but thought I would see if anyone knew anything about them

As far as im aware the Pro is actually a good bit of kit and highly under-rated.
I think the Yanks actually like them (from a racers point of view)

As Lee says, The Spider was VERY much over looked and under rated here in the UK, therefore you may have issue with trying to find spares.

Any RC for £31 is a bargain though lol

ok thanks for that, I doubt it will ever get used for racing etc butwill bear the spares scenario in mind when crashing it about :) LOL

really is like new
so funny to see the size of it compared to what Im used to racing.

the motor is tiny
