Once the setup on my truggy got dialed in it was a blast. Good to go out of the box, i used 37.5 front and 35 rear and handled excellent. I also geared down to a 16 tooth for a carpet track session to keep it cooler. The pro kit went togther easily. The instructions could have been a little better for someone as small part challenged as me:)
Overall, this is a super fun little truggy for bashing and racing and handles weell evn for an old school racer who has high standards. I also got the shock tower brace, ti skid, and springs. Now I want to build a 14th scale track. Top speed pavement runs are impressive and probably close to 35mph🏎🏇, even the crazy cats🐈‍⬛️ around my neighborhood are scared of this thing🤣

Looks great! With the 17T pinion, we clocked ours at 43 mph on 2S out of the box. 🚀

Ordered the EMB-TG pro kit it was a little challenging for a first time build but with some research it was pretty easy. Any questions or recommendations I emailed tech support and Chris responded with answers and recommendations. Truggy is a beast highly recommend. Just ordered my slicks to take it to runs some laps at the track.

Super fast shipping. Surprised on the quality for cost. Amazing little truggy, will buy more kits. Sincerely happy

Was really surprised at the fit, finish and build quality of this little kit. They're a blast to drive on a mini-b sized track!

Just received my LC Racing 1/14 EMB-TG Brushless 4WD Truggy in the mail. This thing shipped so quick, It showed up early!!
This thing is big for a 1/14 compared to the Associated 14T. Exactly what I was looking for. The quality looks great and happy to add this Truggy to my fleet of RCs. Built a nice track in my backyard and this is going to be perfect.

After I got this thing trimmed out it was smooth as butter. Jumps nice and with the new sensored set up it is really easy to control. The perfect size for my backyard track even though at some point I am going to try the 10th scale! II have the truggy also but you can't beat the look of short course.

This is my second review of the LC RACING EMB-TRUGGY.
First off, I absolutely love the concept of improving the platform over the years rather than reinventing the wheel all the time! Not only is it cost effective for the manufacturer, it’s also great for retailers and lastly, for the consumer!
This platform rocks!, SERIOUSLY! Of all the small scale RC cars I’ve purchased, (I have large scale RC cars and trucks as well), THIS TRUGGY is the only small scale RC car I would absolutely purchase again!
It’s built so well and it handles like a dream!
Yes, I had a bit of confusion with the manual with regards to the upgraded diff., but I figured it out! And, by the way, I’m thrilled that they upgraded the differentials; awesome!
Scale Speed RC has been my GO-TO distributor for the LC platform! Great customer service and fast delivery!
Keep up the good work and I look forward to incremental refinements of the LC RACING EMB-T TRUGGY!
I can’t recommend it enough!

Apparently I received a kit with an outdated manual. Step 1 page 1 was incorrect and had to wait for customer service to respond to me before I could even start my build. When they did respond I had to go online to print out the correction. Not a first great step from the 1st page.

Oh no! Although LC Racing didn't include the flyer (like they do on the 12B1) explaining that the diff is now the upgraded version, I don't think that makes the whole vehicle valued at a 3 out of 5 rating. It's a fantastic platform! We tried to make the potential differential differences known by adding a note (and link) to the product page: 'Refer to the new HD Differential instructions when assembling, if you are confused by the included manual's potentially outdated differential assembly process. There should be an insert including this new process, or even the newest manual that describes it, but if not, refer to the HD Differential instructions above.' Unless we open every kit we have in inventory, we can't be sure they have the latest manual. We have nagged LC Racing about this repeatedly and they have updated their manuals, but existing kits have not been opened and re-sealed at their factory. We're going to print out and tape the instructions physically to the outside of every single kit box just to make sure everyone is aware to avoid such disappointment. I apologize that our 20-minute reply on a Friday night was inadequate. :( We will do better.

I think it should be included or mandatory that the hex transmission screws are provided, I’d also like to have the option of purchasing the dust cover like maybe a little list of recommended items like the correct size the servo amount, etc. otherwise I’m more than satisfied with the vehicle. I absolutely love it. Chris was very helpful, I appreciate you!

Planning on a recommended upgrades article soon! We will recommend to LC Racing to change their mold for larger holes and include Class 12.9 screws by default based on our experience. We don't want to sell the upgraded parts, we'd rather it be built into the way they come standard so all are reliably equipped from the start.

I have had and built everything made back in the 80s-2000's, Tyco, many Tamiyas, the Superchamp, all the Kyosho, Losi, Associated cars, and then dabbled a little in between. I have built several cars recently after getting back into the hobby from a RC10 24, a rock crawler, and a Element Apex2. I have also bought several RTR's cars and done some work on them. I have even went as far as building a track in my backyard. After realizing my backyard track was probably going to be a stretch for 1/10 scale I started looking around and buying some RTR's cars in the 1/14 to 1/16th scale. The LCR Truggy is by far the highest performer and most well built of the bunch. This thing handles like it is on rails, and is a rocket with the pro upgrade. Zero issues and I am not easy on it. My only recommendation if you buy one is to get the bumper set for the short course truck. The truggy is really well built but the bumper is magnificent for deflecting bigger hits.

Great service from Scale Speed! Order arrived quickly and well packaged!
I bought the EMB-T PRO KIT. The build was very good, a few minor issues, but nothing that diminishes the high level of quality in this kit!
This Truggy rips! It’s also built like a tank!
I highly recommend this kit…let’s be honest…who doesn’t love a Truggy?

I have been wanting to get back into rc after a long hiatus from racing eighth scale nitro, and I wanted something that looked and acted like a 1/8 race vehicle only smaller and more affordable and after doing some research I found Scale speed and the LC racing lineup. I purchased the EMB-T and I loved it so much I bought a EMB-1 to match and. love it too!

The owner Chris is very helpful and coming out with a ton of scale speed upgrades for the LC lineup

C
Charles H. (United States)

To whom ever is questioning the legitimacy of scale, speed RC, I can assure you they are a great company with great service. I have ordered numerous things from them and always received fast and efficient shipping. Also, they have great customer support as Chris responds to emails quickly. I will be continuing to use them for all my LC racing needs. Support the little guy.

I can't wait to take my new car out on the track and she what it can do, they're a bit smaller than I'm used to. So I'll have to get used to this smaller car, but that's okay, something something new

I love LC Racing RC’s. I have the entire 1/14 lineup. I was hoping they had kits. I found scale speed on Facebook. They are an amazing site with a great group. They respond almost instantly with an email. Great shipping prices also. Great product from an awesome site. Thanks again.
