Default ECX Roost Desert Buggy 1/18 4WD

Seriously considering grabbing one of these guys to add to my mini collection! Took a look at one at HTU and it looks like a neat buggy for around $120. Anybody have one yet? They just came out this month 01-2016.

It has a complete roll cage with LED lights on top. I like the looks with the separate body panels and the wing. I think those open sections might be interesting for airflow and cooling.

Check the video too.

To be honest I haven't really had the chance to drive it yet.All I have done so far is fit bearings in the hubs and fitted mini 8ight wheels and tires.I want to shim the diff but here in the UK I cant find the rite sized shim.

The lights are very bright.I didn't realise how bright they were going to be until I plugged mine in.
