Ordered my first nitro rc car

[Jay349]

hi while I'm waiting for it to show up i was wondering if anybody has this buggy? http://www.minirccar.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=517
it seemed like a pretty good deal to me and was wondering if anyone has experience with it. Thanks

It's a great beginner car, but if something breaks, don't expect your LHS to have parts for it. You can probably only get parts online. It's best to get a car that you can get parts for easily.

wow thanks for the fast reply. i havnt talked to my lhs about it yet, there cheapest one was 400 and i just not able to do that right now. my biggest thought is are parts for these universal at all? i saw a spot on that website that said all there nitro rc buggys/trucks are made by cen,traxxas. is this a popular buggy with a different name?

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Traxxas is a popular brand that most LHS's have. But CEN, I don't think so. I think it would be best to buy a used buggy/truggy/truck/etc. off of eBay, I was able to get a Savage 25 RTR off of eBay for $225.

one of my employee's bought one and the pull starter broke and he can't find one anywhere....i dont think he looked very hard

It looks cool, I just hope if it breaks that you won't have troble getting parts for it.

funny looks like the same company that made the acme buggy I have. The .18 engin looks the same too.

you can try looking on www.amainhobbies.com
for cars that you can get parts for like the stampede or slash

that's a pretty looking car.

I hope parts don't become a problem for you.

it runs good and seems to be ok. the throttle servo was bad when i got it. lhs had one and everything else is fine so far.
