Price is on par with other brands so no advantage in that area.

Always glad to see new buggies in the market, but in the case Sparko, I don’t think they are gonna be around long term.

So the arms are not breaking, and that also includes the soft arm option which are holding up perfectly fine without carbon inserts. Most run them for cosmetic reasons lol has nothing to do with breakage. Sparko isn't going to fold, the E-buggy is just around the corner, and they are backed by Jetko tires. There are over 100 kits just in Taiwan alone, and that is a conservative number and Kyosho Europe have done a fantastic job with distribution. Sparko doesn't need a top driver to sustain itself. The MY1 is a good example, they don't have any big drivers, yet it is not only popular, but the Tawain national champ drives the new MY2 from Ming Yang. Have they gone out of business??? They been around since the late 80's, the MY1 was introduced in 2016. They make the HB, and other brand cars on top of that. Sparko isn't owner by some regular dude, it's owned and ran by a group who has been in the RC business for decades. Sparko is just another brand, and another venture from a company already in the RC market lol. Your free to share your opinion, but there are no facts behind them, only assumptions. What I am stating are facts as I own the car, been running it prior to it's release, and know both the owner, and designer personally.

Before our track renovation I made a video showing parts we were working on for the car. You will see I don't use the carbon inserts, nor will you see them in any of my previous videos, or photos on our FB page. The only inserts I have ever tried was for the front upper arms, however I removed them after a few tanks as I found it made the car a bit less forgiving. The arms are more than strong enough to be ran alone as I have been doing for many many months now. I am also not the only one, as when the car first was released it was not even a part yet available. So everyone who got kits before the worldwide release, and pre-production have been running the same arms without inserts. The only people who had inserts were the designer, and owner. I purchased a kit prior to it's international release, and again I only got my inserts last week as they sent me some for free as I did some work for them for their website. I was lucky enough to travel to Taiwan for a race, and see the car in action before it was officially released or even talked about. It was then I expressed my interest in purchasing one when I met the designer, and owner. They had already been testing the car for awhile when I saw it in person, and quite a few guys already had them. So seeing the car in action, and up close at the designers shop sold me on it.
