I'm ordering the Pro bec I want to collect. I'll also be ordering the F8T electric truggy in due time. Normal 1/10 ESC won't be able to take the batteries you use and the amp draw.
Caster racing looks good how much are we talking abt? Pro kit & normal kit?

U have a few choices to get the Caster. Order from Thomas at teamradicalrc in Malaysia, check the casterracingusa.com forum and email the distributors in the list and enquire. They will be delighted to cater to you. You can try Chris from holeshothobbies.com.

There might have been some people who have purchased Caster in the early years when it was still developing and things were crappy but things have turned around with the new owner and support from the drivers who chose to stick with them. Mike(owner of Caster) has committed his time and passion into Caster and changed things around. Join us at the forum. I'm sure everyone there will be able to answer any doubts you might have of the quality of Caster.

Build quality not as good from big names? Sure or not? It's good as good if not better than some of them but sure. Everyone's entitled to their opinion.

I think we all have to be honest and not misleading people who dunt have the chance to view their choice of kit. I chose to buy CASTER regardless of their quality or built. I go for it because of the price and some other considerations.

My principle is that never misleading people coz later they might curse us and we have to answer in the hereafter. Some people do have a high expectation and I dunt wanna mislead them. I just cant. I just couldnt do to others as I dunt want others to do the same to me.

Have you owned BUGGY KIT names like KYOSHO...MUGEN...and many more. I owned some of them...and man...I'm a very particular and will see almost each parts. Their built?...U compare for yourself.

TeamRadical has made a very good statement i.e "TO MAKE IT AFFORDABLE TO EVERYONE"..Cant U see??...They are being very HONEST..thats why I hope they will success in the business.


At the end , buyer will decide .....like I did. I dunt care what people say coz I want it. Haha...BUT facts is facts truth is truth.

I'm very happy with it and will surely recommend to my friends who wish to jump into this hobby. If they asked me this and that.I will tell them the truth no matter what.

In fact I'm thinking of getting another one for my son as..I truly feel it really makes RC affordable to everyone.

I've decided to get the truggy first and be one of the 1st in the world to have it first before getting the Pro later on. I use Yeah Racing 25c 5000mah lipos. They provide good punch and are getting quite popular in the U.S too for its good pricing & quality.
