I just wanted to say hello everybody. Cam,ed,marcus and anybody else with team caster or with this thread that I might have missed. I'm new to this thread, and I'm very curious to see what the future holds for caster racing. I see them as being a major player in the 08' season. Good luck to ALL!!! Troy

Sounds good Ed. I've been in contact with cam and he's been really telling me some great this with caster. It looks like I'll be putting the buggy and truggy to the test in 08'. I'm really looking forward to running both in this years east coast pro series as well as any other major events I can fit in my schedual.

hhmmm... feedback eh?
hiya folks,
i can't say ima a huge fan of the caster buggy. i have an early pro model and everything about it was wrong.
it could only go fast (i agree that it does go faster then my mugen, with same engine and all) as long as the parts held up, and they didn't hold up very long.
I've had to run mugen diffs, mugen cvds on the buggy cos even the holes in which the drive-hex pins go into were drilled off centre!
I've always thought of giving it another try, but the prospect of buying more parts (which may possibly be ill-machined or of inferior materials) gives my wallet the spidey-sense.
all in, there are claims that caster has better materials and better machining now... but really, do you wanna risk your money?
i hope that caster did do a good job, i did enjoy my caster buggy while it worked, unfortunately, it was a money sink. the more parts i bought, the more it broke down...
and that's my honest feedback, until i get new parts to test it out.
cheerio!

Sorry you had a bad experience with the older buggy. You must have had one from like 1-2 years ago, because the new pro buggies and now the new factory buggies are top notch as far as the materials are concern, and that is my honest opinion as I have never ran the older versions of the buggies. Lets just keep this forum to the newer products that he has out and anything anyone else can think of. Also, anyone can contact me at 5154323715 if they want to order from the usa, and the website will be done by monday with all the correct prices in the system.

In the last 7-9 months Caster has been under new ownership and they have made a concerted effort to improve the products and boy have they done a great job.
Keep a eye on this thread and on rc news, its a new day for Casterracing.
