Our updated Torment was run through the entire gauntlet. Range was fine for track and general use, but it wasn’t nearly as long as other units we’ve tested.īroken Parts: When we get a legit bash machine to review we immediately start scheming up torture tests to reduce it rubble. The only downsides were getting to the on/off switch via a cover that could be a pain at times, and the range.
The pistol handle is molded plastic and felt fine. The wheel is rubber covered and offers good grip. The trigger had a good fit and was generally well liked. The new transmitter is exceptionally light and worked just fine for us. Radio: The Spektrum unit that was used on our last review truck is now gone and has been replaced by an ECX branded transmitter. No, it is nowhere in the league of a brushless powered truck, but with Lipo it is more than fast enough to have fun with. The good part is that by popping in a decent 2S Lipo power was instantly much better with more low end spank and 5 mph greater top speed.

Power: While using the included 1800 mah Ni-Mh battery pack the power was very, very soft, which is fine for people just learning how to drive. Yes, if you are looking for uber grip you’ll be bolting up a set of Pro-Line tires, but the stockers are certainly quite usable. The foams are quite soft which helps get grip on low traction surfaces like loose dirt, yet the truck rarely traction rolled on pavement. Tires: The included Dynamite Speedtreads Shootout tires worked fine giving decent grip on every surface we tested on. We’d like to have seen slightly heavier compression and rebound damping for more aggressive driving, thankfully that is quick, cheap, and easy enough to fix via heavier oil. Suspension: Works fine for bashing purposes. The Torment was not designed for road use, so no, it doesn’t handle as well as an uber touring car, but for purely having fun it hits the mark. It steers fairly neutrally and glides right over road-joints without issue.
Otherwise, the Torment drives fine on pavement. On-Road: At slower speeds the Torment doesn’t traction roll, but put in a Lipo and crank the wheels hard at top speed then you can get it to flip. If you are a noob it can inspire confidence as it tends to stay fairly straight and doesn’t tend to get too jittery until the going gets insanely rough. Add some heavier oil and it blows through the rough even better. In fact, it doesn’t jump overall quite as well as a Traxxas Slash, but it isn’t as far off.īumps/Whoops: The updated Torment is still under-damped out of the box, but it gets through the rough stuff fine. You might expect a budget priced truck to jump like crap, but that is not the case here. No, it’s not a class leader in the jumping department, but it is predictable in the air and landings are soaked up fairly well by the suspension. Jumping: All things considered the Torment jumps well. Fairly neutral steering is a good thing no matter if you are a first day noob or a 30 year vet. The updated Torment turns just fine, the best way to describe its steering would be “easy to drive”. Turning: Some may vehicles have wayyyyy too much steering, while others hardly have any steering at all.

Let’s find out… Among the updates were- waterproof electronics, heavier drive-shafts, a quick battery charger, and a faster motor. It’s been just over a year since we initially reviewed the ECX Torment short course truck, since then ECX has made some updates to take care of old issues and to make the truck even better.
