lol check out the Kyosho radio box in the top pic. Wonder why they got rid of the stock one... :trout:

Looks pretty bad.... single disc brake, plastic spur, totally funky suspension arm design (reminds me of Inferno TR15.. ugh?), and that stock radio box is miniscular. The center diff (if it even is a diff) looks tiny... makes you wonder whats in there.

It's certainly original, but id stick to the ol Kyosho/Mugen/Ofna/GS etc. for now.

I want my hingepins. :

Glad to see you always still have something good to say. If you don't like it don't buy it. I posted this for actually buggy racers and enthusiast to know whats happening in our little world of 1/8 buggies. Please hold your opinion to yourself as I can gaurantee nobody cares what you think not even your mom.

your really predictable as I post something and you post how its not good, wrong, or you know better, there is always a Cliff Clavin in every bunch. I am sure you get "Cheers" in Austrialia so you know what I am talking about.

HB, you have to admit, it does look cheap.

It looks like Legos!!!!! LEGOS!

lol

I like the hopped up one though! Anyone know how this thing performs and/or prices?

Nice to see you others can see what i was getting at.

humbolt - you really got to get yourself sorted out bro. you dont own one so why have a cry about it. it looked a little gay to me, i posted my opinion. my post was about the buggy, nothing to do with you. If someone else had posted it, my response would have been identical.

id appreciate if you kept the little personal remarks out of it - last I checked, this was an RC forum.

jeez you take everything I say as a personal attack - you need to grow up.

I wouldnt say it looks GAY! Just reminds me of legos with the yellow and gray.

I really like the hopped up one though! Seriously, look at the hopped up one. Looks good enough to run for me.

I wonder if the plastics they use on the center diff are like that of RPM's resin blend.

Wouldnt it be cool if RPM made a buggy :bling:

chris - it almost looks as if the grey pieces might be delrin, that super hard plastic that trinity uses on the reflex pro.

That thing is wack. Plastic spur gear... one brake?? How do you adjust the brake bias? It doesn't have chassis braces or even places to put them. :thumbdown

it's not on my wishlist.

If its delrin then we may have a whole different story on our hands.

Like I said, wouldnt it be awesome if RPM made a buggy?

So Derilin is cheap?

It's not plastic guys. Do a french translation of the page.

It doesn't say Derilin, but the pro model it says will have torsen, stages aluminum, crown metal center diffs and adjustable front and rear brakes for a biased setup on the final version.

dont rpm's plastics sort of flex to prevent breakage? on most good buggy plastics, the material is fairly stiff to allow the suspension to work at its best, as well as being durable - so I think what we got might be better. RPM plastic is good for 1/10 trucks, but I like my buggy bits like they are for the most part.

RPM would be good for bumpers and sideguards though...
