I'm liking the 8th scale buggy as well. The 2wd is going to make it a very interesting ride to play with. That crawler/buggy hybrid looks pretty good as well. Has some utility as a crawler and a buggy which could make it fun...

Cool , a new scb, and the twin hammers truck is definitely on my want list. Hopefully they sell kits or at least a bind and drive.

The two speed and 4 link on the Twin Hammers is really catching my eye. I dont currently own a "Play" vehicle right now. This will definately be a want when I get some cash.

Yea the 1/8 scale 2wd Buggy is around $439 RTR not to bad . I would think you can run it on a track and it would be fine just change the servos and tires. Its very realistic to a real one for sure !


The Crawler i think will be a hot seller because you can run it on diffrent offroad surfaces not just rock crawlering.

I would have liked a dig instead of 2 speed tranny. But I'm sure someone will swap it out w/ a losi crawler tranny soon enough.

I got a 1/5 savage flux conversion. fun, but this scale kind of fits the just right size.

Drove a Twin Hammers today for a couple minutes, cool car. But that battery is pretty small and when a brushless system goes in MAH may be a challenge, it does look like a shorty pack fits sideways. But that whole articulating thing is sweet, it crawls right up vertical stuff and has a nice looking ride, jumps ok too. I must say though the paint job is awful, ugliest rtr ever. Good thing new bodies came in too !
I also saw someone with the rally car and he was thrashing it on an indoor track, massive hits on everything but it kept going !
