Radient reaktor brushless review6/13/2023 It certainly soaks up pot-holes and road-joints very well, but generally it was hard to drive. On-Road: Overall, the over-steer of the Invictus makes it hard to drive on-road and in the corners the rear end likes to slide out. We found the spring and damping rates worked well with the chassis, just point it and pin it, it will blast through the chop like a champ. Once again those large diameter tires and ample wheel travel can soak up some very rough terrain. For example, when jumping off a second story roof the suspension/tire combo soaked up the ultra high impact landings arguably better than many other vehicle we’ve recently tested.īumps/Whoops: The Invictus is a beast in the gnarly stuff. The big tires and all the travel can soak up crazy amounts of airtime. Otherwise, due to the large tires and decent suspension take offs and landings are a joy. A slight stab of the brakes on a 2wd barely nudges the front end down, on the Invictus a little brake drops the front like a brick. If you are coming from 2wd or from 4wd with a center diff, the Invictus is lots of fun to backflip but for normal jumping the lack of a center diff makes the truck ultra sensitive to trigger input. Leave the gas pounded off a jump face and the Invictus loves to backflip, even on small jumps. Jumping: The Invictus is a backflip machine. In a typical corner the Invictus plants hard at turn-in and the rear starts sliding around. The front end is overly planted making the rear very loose. Turning: Just like the rest of the Helion line-up the Invictus has a LOT of steering, in fact too much on high bite surfaces, and so much the truck is hard to drive in a straight line. We used a Hyperion 720iNet3 to charge both the stock pack and the MaxAmps. Set-up Notes: We ran the Invictus bone stock initially, then went to a 2S 6500 mah MaxAmps lipo with Traxxas connector adapter later in testing. Test Venues: RC Outlaws in Collinsville IL, Cliff Cave Park in Oakville MO, CostCo parking lot, and a backyard. Test Drivers: Cubby, Brian, Tim, Sam the Noob, and Iron Mike What’s Needed To Complete: Four AA batteriesīuild Quality: We saw no leaking shocks, nothing was binding, no excessive flash, camber/toe settings were in the ballpark, everything appeared to have been assembled correctly. Primary Competition: Traxxas Stampede 4×4 Top Speed (measured by BSRC w/ 2S Lipo): 26 mph Tires: Helion chevron pattern, foam inserts Speed Controller: Non-sensored brushless, Radient Reaktor We’ve been trying to destroy the new Helion Invictus 10MT for weeks now. One of the latest entries in this product categories comes from Helion, a division of Firelands Group and an exclusive product at HobbyTown USA. Monster trucks are the weapon of choice for a true basher, their large tires give them plenty of ground clearance for grass driving and driving over large clods of dirt.
