RTR Buggys, Which?

[Got Nitro?]

Downgrading to a lower size engine allows you to stay lighter,rev,and use the overall engines powerband on the track,that way your smooth on the gas instead of on/off the throttle all the time.

most .21 engines are far better built and are much faster than the large bores like the .26 and the larger engines used in RTR's, also some tracks
only allow .21 in the 8th scale buggy class. On the other hand most of the good .21 engines cost quite a bit more than the large bore engines making it more practical and cheaper to use the bigger engine in the RTR buggys.
the price of the matrix is still very good, comes with nice features and good radio. On the racing side of the world I have found that just about any RTR
buggy with an economy mill just doesn't perform as well and doesn't have the longevity of the upper class .21 engines. it's not that they are garbage they are usually reliable engines that suit people on lower budgets or newcomers just fine. but in our case we wanted a motor that was a little more user friendly and had a bit more power
