We have a vision – do you?

Of an 1/8th buggy, custom tailored to brushless technology. From the ground up to every tiny detail, our vision of something, that had never been done before now ... materializes!

Think of an 1/8th scale offroad racer. Competitive to boot, weighing in at around 3kg – race ready, that is! Think of a lightweight composite chassis made from carbon fibre with alloy inlays for heat dissipation. Now, add some radically new design choices, like a completely straightened center driveline and a novel approach to diff bearings for supreme smoothness and minimal wear and tear. Of course, radical must not preclude practical: There are just a few screws and bolts to loosen to fully access the drivetrain.

So much for the work bench, now onto the track: Long a-arms and big bore shocks are essential for supreme offroad handling, whereas the included anti-sway bars add to the tweakability.

Uncompromised lightweight design is a key factor in our vision, turned into a host of carbon fibre, alloy and composite parts. Because less weight not only equals quicker lap times, but also less wear on the tyres and more runtime between pit stops, which in turn are kept as short as possible, due to an elaborated “snap in” battery tray for most 2s hardcase lipos.

As for the body, thanks to the heat management integrated into the chassis plate, airflow can be kept at a minimum – with a bodyshell, that closes tight and keeps dust and debris away.
Just as you would expect by now, the rear skidplate doubles as a diffuser for improved aerodynamics and a rear bumper.

Sounds too good to believe in? Well, be assured, this is not only our vision – but it could be yours too!

Highlight features:
- V-shaped Carbon-Alloy composite chassis
- Lowest possible COG thanks to a sandwich-layer design
- Straight center-driveline for minimal wear
- Radically new diff bearing design for supreme smoothness and zero frictional heat.
- Quick and easy access to the complete drivetrain
- Perfect power transmission from pinion to tyres
- New, efficient ball type CVDs
- Bump-beating Eight Inch a-arms
- Uncompromising lightweight design; race ready at around 3kg
- Heat protection system for the motor
- Fully enclosed chassis
- Rear diffuser skidplate
- Snap-in battery tray

Pretty impressive. I think I may have just found my next buggy!
