Great buggy! Only problem is you'll want to upgrade it, and it will need it. Here's a list of must haves (IMO):
-aluminum shocks
-front and rear hinge pin retainers/support blocks
-slipper clutch
-adjustable turnbuckles
-front CVDs
-aluminum front steering blocks

With those items it's very strong and handles pretty well. But honestly, you're better off with a higher quality buggy from the start, 'cause you'll save money overall.


SH Z-Car, Custom Crawler, 8s Savage, 12s XTM XLB 1/7 buggy, 4wd 4-link rear/IFS Pro4 truck, Custom Hyper 10 Short Course, Belt-Drive Mammoth ST 1/8 truggy, 4s 17.5 MM Pro HPI Blitz
