Awesome thanks guys. I am looking at getting one of these buggies and have the chance to race one on Saturday. Pretty excited to see what all the hype is about. Hopefully I like it!

Just got done building the car, excluding putting in my electronics, and so far it's very awesome! Directions are fairly easy understand for the average rc builder. Car feels very durable, and for the 4wd class, that's a plus.

Will post how it does in 2 weeks for its first race on astro turf!

That's funny how different parts of the country have different class following...typically here in michigan 2wd buggy has the most entries followed by 1/10th 4x4 buggy the second most. This makes a very competitive and fun class to run.

Minnesota is close to the same here. Stock 2wd buggy in winter is consisantly 20+ entries every Friday. 4wd has a good following with about 6-10 every friday.

I finally had a chance to race, I was a little rusting and off pace a little but really for not racing in a while I think I did pretty good, I finished only 6 sec. behind one of the local fast guys running a B44.3

Well, first time with new buggy didn't go too bad. My set up was deffinitly not 100% but it now let's me know what to do for next time. I tried to run a 2 hole piston set up with 35 in front and 30 in rear, and it just didn't quite compress well with the impacts after landing jumps, made the car want to bounce on the turf. But car was good otherwise! Qualified 3rd out of 8. Had 3rd place in the main with about 50 seconds left, had a flip over that put me on the other side of the loop, marshall flipped me over on wrong side and had to retreat back to corner before loop. Lost 6 seconds in the ordeal, and finished 5th overall out of 8. For the next run we will try an aditional hole in piston to get suspension correct for next race.
