1 / 2
Our Verdict
70 mph on 3S batteries at a budget-friendly price. Most cars need 6S to hit that. The catch is 0.59 inches of ground clearance, so you're locked to smooth pavement. But for budget speed thrills, nothing touches the Vendetta.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- +70 mph on affordable 3S batteries, which is wild for the price
- +4WD keeps it planted at high speed
- +Budget-friendly entry to serious speed
Cons
- -0.59" ground clearance, so pavement only, and it better be smooth
- -3S power means less upgrade headroom than 6S cars
- -Fragile if you accidentally leave the pavement
