Nice looking buggy, I don't own one so I can't help ya on that but you can go to the radio forum and read some threads on the Lynx 3D radio. there are several members who have one

Check ALL of the major screws in between tanks for the first 10 tanks or so. The RTR's are notoriously "screwed together loosely"....and the buggies with all that power and such little suspension travel pop them loose quite easily! I lost three screws on my GS Storm after the first few tanks.

Buggies jump like nothing...but the landings are HARD on them. Some will tell you that's why the skid plate is so strong - big jumps are like belly flops for buggies, go easy on it!

Street tires! Doing a four wheel drift on the street with a buggie is a riot! It's great for tuning too - better than shredding your dirt meats.

Thanks toxic avenger,I've gone over the screws with loctite but i will keep tabs on em,what shock oil do you use?

CONGRATS! Nice buggy! I dont have a buggy YET but working on it.

As far as the radio goes, EXCELLANT CHOICE! The menu can be a little cumbersome, but, once you get beyond that, its pure heaven. Especially at the track. While everyone scrambles for crystals you can sit back and say OWNED to all the channels hehehe

And if you are ever out bashing with a CLOSE BUDDY who has an FM system as well, you can always 'dial a crash' and have him scratching his head for days!

Chris,
Be careful with that. The buggy might not be the only thing getting bashed :trout:

I recently got a buggy, here is what I've found out so far...

ITS A BLAST

Shock Oil?? Can't remember what I put in!! Pretty sure it's got 60wt in it. I put shock boots on them too - I get tired of rebuilding shocks all the time. All of my toys have shock boots.

Are the diffs sealed? Can you put diff oil in them on that kit?

Thanks all.matts this is the new hyper 7 rtr with the 2.5 hp 8 port hyper included woo hoo.Still breaking her in so i will let you know what the outcome is.I filled the diffs today with 1000 rear ,7000 centre and 5000 up front and I'm runnin 20 w in rear shocks and 25 up front .I love this radio and i'm nearly up to speed on how to use it now
