Werkstatt-Check – Tests im Spiegel

Werkstatt‑Check Tests im Spiegel

Our column – new every Sunday: we gather what the independent tests say about a model – in our own words, with sources – and compare it to our follow-up-cost traffic light.

Werkstatt-Check: E-flite Apprentice STS in the test mirror

The standard trainer with SAFE is considered almost indestructible – so why is our follow-up-cost traffic light on red?

Model: Apprentice STS 1.5m

Werkstatt-Check: Axial SCX24 Deadbolt in the test mirror

The mini crawler is considered the perfect cheap entry. We compare tests and owner reports with our follow-up-cost traffic light.

„Ready-to-run mini crawler with long run time and cheap parts – follow-up costs low, upgrades purely optional."

Model: SCX24 Deadbolt

Werkstatt-Check: Traxxas Slash 4×4 in the test mirror

What do the independent tests say about the Slash 4×4 – and how does it fit our follow-up-cost traffic light? We pull it together and put it in context.

„Rugged all-rounder with a strong spare-parts network – follow-up costs mainly from speed tuning."

Model: Slash 4X4 VXL
