Yusa buggy?

[stampedeproject]

Just received the Thunder Tiger EB4 S2 "PRO" RTR from RC Car as payment on an article. This looks pretty much part for part a Yusa. The bad news and very sad part is that the Yusa is a much higher quality build. The EB4 doesn't even have sway bars, or adjustment nuts on the links. It's like Thunder Tiger took a decent cheap roller chassis and then stripped it of everything good.

Feel I got a better deal on the Yusa's by the moment.

Post some pics if you can.

didn't one of the rc car mags do a test on one this month and said how it was set up for pavement and was horrible on the dirt? They had to change quite a bit to get it to handle on the track..

Uhhh, yeah... as brutal of a review that was they were being kind. With one way grub screws as links and without dual threaded adjustment nuts on any links the Thunder Tiger it was/is a nightmare to tune, so much so that at a point they kind of just gave up on trying to tune the thing. It is tunable, however it's a pain and the factory settings are just stupid. I also forgot to mention it has fixed tension on the servo saver - which sucks. Someone early on said they wouldn't waste their money on a Yusa , I would say unless you are desperate, strapped for cash, and have an anything will do just get me a buggy mental moment, the Thunder Tiger is a poor choice. Honestly I am not really sure what Thunder Tiger was thinking.

Last night I did a partial tear down and side by side with one of my Yusa rollers. The problem as I see it is that other than the Aluminum front hubs everything else would be a downgrade if I started moving parts to the Yusa.

FYI - RC Car floggs their test vehicles viscously. The Thunder Tiger unit they sent over had a bent deck, front shock tower, caster link, both front shock shafts were bent and the tires were bald. I of course straightened everything out and will simply just flog this thing until something breaks and sell it on ebay. I should probably continue this on some other post....

Yea I know. I used to work as a writer for a small time automotive mag years ago so I know how it works:)
anyway.. I was wondering IF the Tigers aluminum hubs fit the Yusa(Mine is due in today:)) and I think you answered my question.. Now I have to find a Thunder Tiger supplier for em..

I would use parts from the Katana.

Hit Ebay and search for Katana Buggy.

I thought the katana by Power Racing was also a plastic knuckle. Only the Tiger is aluminum.. no?

BTW- I did get my Yusa today. WOW. This thing is built well. Im very happy so far,. Im fitting the engine as I write this.. Got a Team Infinity .27..

Yeah sorry...Yes the Thunder Tiger knuckles will work however I wouldn't use other parts.

Also FYI just fitted a Proline Crowd Pleaser Mugen MBX Body and it fit PERFECTLY.
