Geio Stealth R1 takes us through the tantalizing world of RC vehicles, specifically diving into the debate surrounding the new 1/16 scale Funko desert truck priced at a hefty $1,300. Comparisons are drawn with the more affordable X-Maxx and XRT, both available for under $1,000 during sales. The critical factor of control and performance during jumps and flips is highlighted, favoring the capabilities of the X-Maxx and XRT over the Funko desert truck.
The discussion delves into the realm of customization, citing examples of enthusiasts upgrading HPI models with an 8S system for added fun, showcasing the continuous evolution in RC technology.
