what is the total weight of this buggy and how does it handle compare to other buggies?
Didn't I say that a couple posts up on the weight? Mine was 7.725 without the lightened chassis and full tank of fuel and all electrics. Every person that has bought one has said it was one of the easiest buggies to drive and drive hard out of the box with minimal setup time. To me the buggy is one of the least twitchy buggies out there and the harder you drive it better it is. I never cared for buggy too much before the ZX1-R and always drove truggies, now it is the opposite most times.
I have had people sell there Kyosho's, RC8's, Losi's, and Jammins to drive the Caster.
