FRICTION SHOCKS SHOULD BE BANNED!! Bonzai RC LYCAN & INTREPID upgraded!

Welcome back to the channel!

Today we take another look at the Bonzai RC Intrepid 1/14 Truck and Lycan 1/12 Truck!

Both of these trucks were in desperate need of a shock upgrade as they come pre fitted with horrible friction shocks straight out the box which are terrible!

Bonzai RC have sent me the upgrade shocks for both of these trucks and today we fit and test to see if they make any difference!

Do you think these trucks are worth the money?

Once you factor in the cost of the truck and the cost of the upgrade the Lycan is taken into the $200+ Territory which is a huge amount of money for what you get!

See you on the next one!
