Hi All,

I have been looking at the Castor Racing SK10Pro SK-10 there 1/10 EP 4WD Buggy.

Does anybody know anything about them As the price seems pretty reasonable. There is no distributor in Australia but they seem to have all the spare on their website.

Are they reliable, competitive, do they break easy.

Thanks

Don't do it. Buy a used AE/Tekno/Xray before you go down that path. I used to run Caster way back and it was mostly because I was a poor student and got a huge discount. That SK10Pro is the same as the S10B which was sold here in the states for a while nearly a decade ago.

Compared to a recent gen AE, TLR, Tekno, or Xray:
The arms are floppy plastic that break at the hinge pin on medium hits.
Bearings are too small and wear out fast.
Diff outdrives don't last.
Bulkheads are weak.
It weighs a ton.

Yes. The price is reasonable because it's an irrelevant buggy. It's old.. I'm not saying you have to have the latest and greatest but this will be next to impossible to maintain, if you were to race it. Maintenance costs of 4wd buggies is high no matter what brand. It's just the nature of the class. My advice would be skip that buggy and find something more current. Just for the sake of parts availability, set up info, etc. Just overall brand support.

I bought the nitro version a few years ago. I never even finished tuning it before I threw it in the trash.

I’d go the used route tons of nice used cars out their now which would be way easier to maintain.
