#Ecx torment 1 10 drivers
Power: Our experienced drivers complained that the truck was under powered, while our noobs thought it had plenty of yank. Also, due to their design, they tend to last a long time. Whether it be pavement, grass, blue grooved track, or loamy dirt at a park, the Shootouts always seem to manage to get good traction. They don’t excel on any one surface, but work above average just about everywhere. Tires: We are big fans of the included Speedtreads Shootouts. In short grass life is good, when it gets taller it simply doesn’t have the yank to plow through. Grass: The 4wd Torment has the platform to get around well, it’s 4wd and the stock tires work well in grass, but it comes up short on power to blow through taller grass sections. The Torment is a blast on pavement, albeit low on power and a bit slow on the steering. It turns predictably, it soaks up road joints and rocks with no issue, and it does not traction roll. On-Road: The Torment 4×4 is pretty dialed on-road. You can pound a section of large dirt clods and it doesn’t really get out of shape, and on a track it just blows through rough braking bumps.
It doesn’t bounce around too much, it just seems to soak everything up and keep on trucking forward. The general geometry of the truck and stock shock settings work well for jumping on the ECX, even on really big hucks.īumps/Whoops: The stock set-up of the Torment works well in rough sections. This is a good trait to have as it doesn’t have much excess rpm on tap to help pull the nose up during an endo. Jumping: The Torment 4wd likes to fly neutral, and typically doesn’t need much input to level out in the air. For noobs, the steering is set up just about perfect as they tend to over correct constantly. The slow speed of the servo makes it hard to make immediate corrections or flow through “S” sections, while the lack of torque makes for a wide turning radius. However, the included servo does hold back the truck for experienced drivers. Does that mean the Torment is bad in the corners? No it doesn’t, in fact the front wheels do a great job of going where pointed, while the rear nicely pivots without snapping around too far. Turning: The included servo is a bit slow and lacking for torque. We did skip using the included charger, instead using a Racers Edge EZ80 to charge up the included battery.

Hit the “Read More” to find out… We’ve been driving one of their new 4wd Torment RTR SCTs for a few weeks to see how it stacks up. Their original 2wd Torment short course truck proved to be a capable bash machine, as well as several other vehicles in their line-up.
