Thunder Tigers new buggy is done and is scheduled to hit hobby shops in September!!!

[Hypedonrc]

You mean Europe has it, and we don't. I thought it was to be released here first. Not that I have the cash at the moment, but I want to see one bad. I wonder if there is a "contact us" thing to E-Mail the crap out os TT USA, and say what's up we want the S3!

Okay, this thing was supposed to be out in September, hit European hobby shops in November, and I have yet to find a single link to a place that sells it. Plenty of articles on it, but no one seems to have much more than a story.

Any ideas? Has anyone seen one (aside from pictures and articles), yet?

I found a place that was taking pre-orders for $200 and if I remembe correctly they were saying they we're gonna have them in Dec. some time.. could abe wrong.. lemme see if I can find the place

I think this is it...Evolution Hobbies

Sweet. Thanks Lessen.

no problem. I've been all over this one. I don't have a buggy yet but the TTRS3 is gonna be my first. Dunno when I'll get it but just have a good feeling about it for some reason.

What a great choice for a first buggy. Watch this one guys, mark my words it will be the front runner. Regardless of past discussions I think this chassis and shock layout is really revolutionary to an almost unchanged chassis in the last 6 or so years. And of course it came out in Europe first, most buggies do. Europe is way ahead of us as far as buggy racing, it's crazy popular over there. Look to see this buggy winning and then look to see it copied.

Sounds good to me! I really like the shock thu the A-arm thing. Hopfully safe some shock shafts. The chasis looks good, and rigid, but do you think it will be stiff? I mean there isn't anything bracing the front, and rear suspension assemblies to the chasis like the traditional chasis braces. Mayby the Pro will have braces front, and rear like the XTM has in the front. You know from the upper deck to the upper deck of the center diff. I don't know. I guess we'll have to see. That chasis might be stiff enough on its own.

the way that this chassis is made, the entire center channel is the brace. id say this is set to be the stiffest buggy chassis ever made. if you look carefully at the pics, you can see where the top part of the channel bolts up to the front and rear diff housings/bulkheads.

The 2004 UK National champion has signed up with TT to race the new S3 in 2005 (he ran a 777 in 2004). No confirmation as yet if he will continue to use the OS VZ-B mill.

any1 remember when the rc10 team car had a shock tower w/the shocks behind it.
