Centax Error,
Hopefully the picky American market will like the buggy, too. You'll find that the weight distribution and suspension geometry are completely different than the Mugen MBX-5. The pivot ball suspension and/or the laydown steering servo designs have been in use by other companies for about 20 years (be it electric or on-road designs), so Mugen never originated the ideas...they popularized them, and only in offroad at that. As you can see, it's made for the Chinese market as well as export, which is unusual.
The engine is indeed a .21 by SH Taiwan. They do engines in the US for Megatech, Dynamite, GS, and probably others. Very reliable and easy to start, but not necessarily as fast as an OS or Nova Rossi. The car was designed for beginners, so they don't really need the extra horsepower.
Let us know how the Swift runs for you! It hasn't hit the US shores yet, as it's on the boat still. Should be here in another week or two, however. I'm the only American who's driven it so far. It's excellent as far as "ready to run" cars go, but it still needs a little bit of work to make it a national-level competitor. It's pretty durable, though!
Power Racing (USA) and Nanda (PRC) are the same, btw.
