SG PINCONE FOREST 1002S 1/10 4WD Short CouRse TRUCK REVIEW

This large scale 4wd Truck from Pinecone is well made and true to scale but makes for mixed performance results as an RC version which makes a hard sell at this price

Like:
+Amazing scale function for body, driveline and suspension
​+Good brushless motor and ESC on RTR model
​+Very Durable
+Strong drive train

Don't like:
-Stock wheels look cheap and tyres are too hard 
-Rear suspension has weak dampening
-A lot of money to part with for an relatively unknown brand
​-RTR version Doesn't include a battery

I ordered the SG Pincone Forest 1002s 1/10 scale 4WD SCT from Banggood as a Ready to Run model. They also sell a kit version without electronics. Try code BG523f89 at checkout for a 8% discount

SG / Pincone Forest is perhaps best known for the budget small scale drift cars that were so popular around 2 years ago, one of which I reviewed here: SG1604 / 1603 These little 1/16 scale brushed drift cars were low cost and a lot of fun but pretty cheap in build quality. The brand SG also appeared on the SG 1601 I reviewed here which was a rebranded HBX 16890 - brother of the HBX 16889a pro I rate so highly. These cars share no similarity other than brand and I can say this is the same with the 1002s SC / trophy truck as reviewed here too - this is a much higher quality build that reflects the much higher price point, a significant departure from the cheaper cars they've dabbled in before.
