This buggy is going to be awesome. I'd really like to see other competitors offering similar setups.

Really want one of these and didn't want any more bidders if it comes to that. Hadn't heard any offical work for the U.S. though.

well it had 6 bids when I posted the thread so I honestly don't think it'll make a difference :P

DJ works at Ofna, and he said on the Ofna forums that it should be available in the States at the end of April.

1/8th brushless class will be at the silver state this weekend, with losi,AE,kyosho mp9 proto hotbodies d8e proto and the hyper 9e it should be a class to watch, does anybody think kortz can run up front with this rig? this buggy looks like the only ground up brushless chassis so far the rest are simple conversions. i just wonder/hope will this be worth it for habao?

I guess brake bias wasn't that important

Lol... Of course, the argument will be that they would have been getting 34 second laps with electric AND mechanical brakes. Who knows.... all I know is that it mechanical brakes don't seem to be that big of a factor from the results I have been seeing. Each to their own.
