It's shares parts with the Sworkz due to it being manufactured in the same factory. However suspension geometry wise it's based on the Kyosho. The C-hub spindles are the exact same offset for one.

It's not very often I give Credit to 1/8 buggy brands but the sparko & sworkz Cars are nice and both drive really well.
Elliots car & setup from his silver state win is still damn good.

Excited to get the Ebuggy.

Side note, whats up with the website?

Once upon a time, Husqvarna was a giant and KTM was just a headache

Cars, parts and upgrades also available at Klinik RC 👍

we were hanging out with Ryan at the US Open and the car was amazing. Ran mine for the first time last weekend and it drives really well.

I really like the car after finally driving it. it had more steering than I expected but I was able to dial it in to my driving style pretty easily. I lead the open buggy qualifier in my first race with it, but ended up breaking an a-arm with no spares on the last lap lol.
