LRP electronics "Shark 18 Monster" - reviewed

[aaron_]

Hi there!

A mini was all that had been left to complete my offroad-collection (2wd, 4wd, electric, gas, 1/10th, 1/8th, truggy, monster truck) so I decided to go with LRP's new Shark-18 mini truggy.
It's a nice little hopper with quite impressive handling. But when it comes to ruggedness its tiny little plastic-universals let it down quite a lot.
But see for yourself if you're interested in mini offroad-action!

Believe this would be seen under the FTX brand name if ever released in the UK. Also called an Anderson in Hong Kong and a Yokomo in Japan.

And Duratrax in USA, but Anderson are the OEM.
