Ordered flishrc cobra. Communication was great. Ordered larger batteries but they were the wrong size. Olly shipped the right batteries and gave a refund for the difference I paid. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the help with the order.

The seller knew I was after one and very kindly informed me when they came back into stock so now have a Flywing Bell 206. Fantastic bit of kit. Well worth the wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the Smyter DT is ready to run out of the box with a included battery and charger, making it ideal for beginners. However, as a 1/12-scale truck with a brushed motor, it's designed more for casual bashing and learning rather than high-speed racing, so it's a good entry point into the hobby.
A Li-Ion 7.4V 1500mAh battery with T-Plug connector is included in the box, along with a USB charger. For exact charge times, consult the manual, as this varies depending on the charger specifications.
The RTR package includes the truck body, 2.4GHz radio with 2-in-1 ESC/receiver, Li-Ion battery, USB charger, LED roof light (pre-fitted), and front LED lights. The front lights require customer assembly if you wish to fit them.
At 1/12 scale, the Smyter DT is compact and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. For exact dimensions, check the product specifications, but this scale is generally small enough for indoor spaces like garages or large rooms.
The truck has splashproof electronics and a protective gear cover, so it can handle puddles and wet conditions. However, splashproof is not fully waterproof, so avoid submerging it or driving through deep water.
