Horizon hobby review1/22/2024 ![]() ![]() However, we were quite surprised, they were about as drivable on pavement as they were indoors on carpet. On-Road: When we grabbed them and took’em outside, we really expected them to be unusable, even on relatively smooth pavement. If you are looking to go serious off-roading, look elsewhere. Yes, they can be jumped, but they are hard to control when doing so.īumps/Whoops: Hey, they don’t have any suspension, how would you expect them to handle bumps? They did not surprise us here, they were a real handful on anything other than smooth surfaces. And no, jumping is not the forte of the little ECXs, they tend to bounce off jump faces and ricochet off the landings. Jumping: We are BigSquidRC, every review includes a roof jump or two. Keep that in mind when you build miniature Supercross tracks to race on. We would also like to note that both vehicles turned better to the right than the left. Both vehicles like to push/understeer a lot while cornering on power, yet would oversteer when off power. I must also note that neither has proportional steering, they only have full lock left, full lock right, and center. Turning: First off let me note that both vehicles turn almost the same, with perhaps slightly less push from the KickFlip. Heck, we even used the stock connectors and charging system. Set-up Notes: We didn’t change anything out for testing, we ran both vehicles bone stock. Test Venues: A driveway, a Man Cave, and the BSRC conference room. Test Drivers: Iron Mike, Sam-I-Am, Jake, Robby G., T-Money, and yours truly. What’s Needed To Complete: Nothing, nada, el’ zero, everything you need is in the box.īuild Quality: We didn’t find anything loose or strange when unboxing the vehicles, everything looked to have been well assembled. Warranty: “free from defects… at time of purchase” Unboxing Pictures: BSRC Unboxes the BeatBox & KickFlip Are they truly hobby grade? Do they have enough power to be fun? Do they break in half if you slam them into a wall? At just $35 are they worth the cash? Read on to find out… We’ve spent a couple months thrashing the BeatBox and KickFlip to find out everything we could about them. Not only was their small size big news, but also their very affordable price point. ![]() ECX BeatBox & KickFlip Review – Horizon HobbyĮCX made a big splash with the announcement of their 1/36th scale KickFlip buggy and BeatBox truck. ![]()
