I tried to get one here in the US. They offered me the nitro buggy, extra set arms and T-shirt for 600.00 Euro. So roughly $714.00 US dollars. Told them no thxs. The buggy looked pretty good, but really nothing innovative or better than other buggies on the market. So yeah curious to see what there price point is gonna be. Based on what they offered me, I can’t see them being much cheaper than other buggies on the market. You also would think they would offer some kind of deal to early adopters or people willing to take a risk on the brand. Really hate to say it, but I don’t see them doing much in an already highly competitive market.

That sure is a big surprise. I was guessing Sworkz for Lutz.

Lutz made it sound like they are aiming for a really competitive price point so we'll see. It will take a lot for them to really get established against the long term players.

For sure, I see so many people buy Losi or Associated just because it’s what they had in the 90s. They don’t even know about the brand and for that don’t matter don’t really care to learn about them.

Was checking out the pictures, always love to look at a new buggy but I wanted to ask George in the pictures you posted the plastics seem to be eye catching different from the ones posted on page one, in particular the pillow ball plastics, arms and the rear hub parts the materials don’t look any bit the same. Check out these pictures.

I don't know if they are any different in the picture but for sure they are some quality plastic. And in general the build quality is excellent.
All I can say is that I have run this car so far 6 practice days and 2 races and there is no damage at all.
And when I say practice days I mean tought practicing from 10am till 3am next day, yes you read right, we practice almost 1 day, about 17 hours of practice every time. Deduct about 2h of rest and eating and some beers at the track you have almost 15 hour of practice wvwry time we hit the track.

looks like any other buggy. price point would need to be lower to attract people to make the leap over. also need to finish above the other top brand to make it known. was hoping to see Lutz with Associated or Back with Tekno. but wish him well.

probably not the best look to have a team manager from the company he was just driving for talking shit about him online after switching teams. Looks pretty terrible for agama, who the f@@k would want to drive for a company thats gonna talk shit about you when you leave. gonna shit on b. rose and tyler jones when they leave at the end of the year as well?
