What's the difference?

Well so I looked at the sportwerks turmoil pro and it looks interesting. It has a good price (NEW). Anyone have any experience with this? How is quality? I wonder how hard it would be to make it brushless. I'm guessing I'll have to fab a motor mount.

Otherwise I'll stick to Jammin, MBX5, or Hyper 7 sport TQ.

Another question, if Ofna is importing then I wonder if the makers are selling then on E-bau under a different name.

Turmoil is not a bad car to start with. It gets you into 8th scales at a good price. And you can then decide later to upgrade it, or sell it and go with a different buggy.

The reason the OFNA 9.5/MBX based buggies are so bad is that they have NO upgrade path. Weak shock towers, weak rear/front brace designs, cast steel differentials that strip out easy. They just can't take abuse, nor can they be cost effectively made to handle it. The handling sucks on them too.

The Sportwerks Turmoil is a good car. I have a Mayhem which is the predecessor of the Turmoil. It is one tough car. I did have to make my own motor mount for it though. I think there may be a RC-Monster motor mount in the works soon.
