Default Build pics and thoughts.

Well I got the kit all built up. Didn't take a ton of pics though. Got caught up in the build.

The kit is great quality and plastics seem really nice. Used the stock caps and bladders for the shocks as well as stock diffs. Everything went together great and shocks and diffs are smooth. Instructions are a little lacking. more or less just parts diagrams. Pretty straight forward though. Front and rear skid plates are included which are nice. All in all this is a great kit and is on par with all of the top brands.

Thanks I did it myself with rattle cans. The A8T comes as a nitro so it will have to be converted. I used the conversion kit offered from Agama. It says its for the buggy but works perfect for the Truggy as well. There is also a conversion kit made by RC Monster. The kits are available from 4 different places Hobby-Pro Usa(USA distributor for agama), Amainhobbies, absolutehobbyz, and eazyrc. The Agama E conversion kit is available from Hobby-Pro USA and eazyrc. The rcmonster kits are at Hobby-Pro USA and RCmonster.

I got it out for the first run today. I was able to run 1 practice round with it before racing started. I TQ'd qualifying but ended up in second in the main. The truggy handles very well. Very smooth through the bumps and very easy to power it through the corners. Has loads of steering. It is a top notch truggy in my opinion and is as good a quality if not better than the top brands.

Not exactly what I was expecting for my first run with it. handled really well even with the extra weight.

Nice ! Im curious of why i never see this brand of the Truggy or Buggy at club tracks ? The quality looks much better than the Losis !

Only thing im curious about is why did Agama deside to use straight cut diff gears ? I found the sprial cut diff gears are smoother/quieter and stronger.

Im guessing to keep the price down.

Probably never see them because they are newer and people haven't heard of them yet. Check out hobbyprousa.com they are looking for sponsors as well. The quality is excellent. The spiral gears are smoother and quieter but in the end the straight ones hold up fine and work great.

Yea thats what it seems like. For $519 is not bad at all for the quality and you can get the parts on Amain the parts are pretty reasonable price wise. The Electric conversion kit is nice too although a bit steep price wise.

I am very satisfied with it so far. Nothing broke yet and it handles like a dream.

I agree on this one, I love my Agama truggy so much it almost hurts

One question:
Is there a suitable plastic center spur gear available?

I have heard the Losi plastic spurs work but I've never tried them myself. What I'm looking for is some mud guards.
