We always have kits first.. advantage of being close to the factory. Sorry!
They're looking nice though!
Dirt edition will probably be in a few months, just like last year.

Yeah, thats what I didnt really see in the manual was flat side out, It;s fixed, and the car after a long tuning session is getting really good. Just need to add more rear suspension, it's slapping pretty bad, have some springs, and the longer eyelets on the way. I'd just like for it to not bounce around so much.

So what's new? Same chassis?

Had the same problem when I first bought the car 5 months ago. Did you try the schelle machined Pistons 2x1.6 and 2x1.7). the stock Pistons require much higher weight oil than I was accustomed from other buggies. With the dirt car I seemed to always settle on 2 dot rears no matter how many different springs I tried.. Some stick with the kit 1 dot front. 2 dot front is good to on high bite. My favorite were kyosho gold fronts, 2 dot rear. Yokomo orange and AE gray are good too with the 2 dot rear. My 2 cents. The long eyelets on the rear helped but with the dirt car I felt it pushed too much so switched back to kit.

Wow, can't wait to run indoor high grip with this new laydown gearbox. I'm glad they kept the chassis the same.

I am trying to choose a new buggy, and while one track near me is going carpet, there is also a dirt track going up. So if not sure which kit to buy, and i'd like to be able to setup car to run either . . . is it cheaper to get carpet and get the parts to convert, or vice versa? To be honest I am leaning towards the dirt version if I can simply convert it to laydown if I need it.
any thoughts?
