I just got one of the Palm-Runners off ebay in the mail today.
Thunder-Mars. Made my HeiPao. Non-propo. No front syspension. The diff is notchy (probably a sprue they didn't clean up). The tires are harder to make hook than you'd believe. The remote is uncomfortable. The steering wheel has about half an inch of travel, with 3/8" being dead-zone, the throttle has more dead zone going forward than it does reverse. The foam wheel cover on the transmitter is loose, so it needs glued. The battery sticker in the transmitter is incorrect if you follow the battery pic (it has + and - drawn backwards) And it's in a bizarre freq. (45 mhz) so I can't tell if it could be propo if the transmiter was better.
But, for the price it's pretty cool. It's a little slow for my tastes. But with the amount of wheel-hop it gets.... And on hardwood and linoleum, you can drift it pretty well. Turning radius is a little large for my tastes as well.
I'd say if you absolutely need to get one of these low-end clones, go for the ones with mini-z style tx.
