I could be wrong but im pretty sure thats a 1:1 evolve carbon gtr deck clone~ everything else seems to be relatively unique for a prebuilt.
They probably invested most of their capital in a CNC setup to make the hubs and trucks. And maybe the drives? Nice chunk on cells and pcb’s. Cheap out as much as possible on esc. No custom remote case. Nothing new deck wise.
Motors look like rebranded TB’s to me. The trucks i cant see; but the baseplates look reeeeeeally familiar topside.
Throw in some sacrificed profits to get shit up and going…
Obviously this is all speculation, but theyre actively cutting costs like that, seems reasonable enough.

Yeah, unfortunate. Possible it wouldn’t be too hard to repair tho. Also Hoyt and metro do it too don’t they?

Working on a full review. Wanting to get some more shots and more miles on it to make a call but so far Im more impressed by this board than any other Chinese board Ive been on.

What do you guys think about the 2wd version? I’m never going off-road and I want to have more range, but then if I’m going 2wd I wonder if it isn’t a better choice going for a Zeus Pro (discounted now + codes you can get it for 1600$).
The specs are similar, build quality seems better on the Ares though.

Get the Zeus pro

I wish I could compare the Zeus and X1 for ya but I’ve never been on a Zeus.

Fair

Usually it helps if you actually give a reason

Price/value wise I think Zeus wins though

Zeus pro. The ares only really seems worthwhile if youre going for the 4WD model.

the trucks look nicer then the zeus. but its hard to say until someone opens one of these up and people been riding them for a while. who knows the mystery ESC could have issues.
