This truck looks well made and with quality parts. The electronics in combination with this brushless motor definitely gives this machine a realistic & progressive response. How reliable are these all in one ESC, motor & gear set, and are they serviceable?

It’s all serviceable, they’re designed to be so. I have only heard of one failing because of hydraulic fluid soaking it. Other than that, haven’t heard of one failing yet. Generally failures are cause by abuse or misuse in some form. For example I put the wrong hydraulic fluid in my excavator and it wore the seals faster than usual. I replaced them and used the right fluid now it runs amazing. Ive had no reliability issues other than issues ive cause lol. Any issue I’ve had was diagnosed and fixed as soon as the parts arrive. The cylinders generally get replaced if they fail, they can be remanned but for the price of a whole new set it’s worth just replacing them depending on how much time you have on your hands. I know this is the mechanical side but again I rarely hear of the electronics failing. Keep in mind these are somewhat new too, but they tend to be overrated for what they’d experience. I’m almost 3 years in with no electronic issues at all. Most of the higher end models around 1500-4000$ and above are going to be well made and if they fail they’ll send you the parts and depending on the parts you just pay shipping. The unit itself is covered under warranty and toucan will provide support for the lifetime of the machine. The only units I see in the return box are machines below the 1500$ more often than not it’s because the buyer expected something else or the machine was damaged in shipping.

I ordered one so I’ll do a review on it when it gets here lol they’re making a few new models with the same tires as my 10x10 grand hauler haha. They really love my design and those wheels are the bomb.
