Nemo Racing posted a short video of the buggy on their Facebook page. Sadly, the resolution isn't great and no close-ups. These stills are the best I could get.

The flatter front end also allows for a proper wing to be installed (Tenth-Tech Predator style) which will hopefully signal the end of those hideous cab-forward bodies and a return to sleeker bodyshells.
Regardless, kudos to Agama for daring to innovate.

Those Agamas look like quality buggies but man, everyone’s out of parts.

Anyone that runs this car a lot , I have a question!

Looks like most run grey arms front and rear with no inserts ? Is that correct?

They are pretty soft with a lot of flex, just wondering how durable it is without the inserts.

Thanks !
