it doesn't look that good at all.

dont say that man, thats a little on the ruff side, hey they say you get what you pay for. i have seen them, they look cool and they have alot of alloy on it and it looks good. but dont expect ultimate reliability and performance.

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
Hmm, I don't see anything so very wrong with it's design.. looks like a heavily built 1/8th scaled down to 1/10th... so yeah it might be slow.. but then my Feigao 9L on 3s would take care of that....... And then not crashing and needing parts will be greatly needed...

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
I've got one. It does looks an awful lot like the Redcat Tornado. The first one that I got (http://www.nitrorcx.com) was broken, but the replacement one they sent works fine. It's a lot of fun for $100. Parts are modular (servos, receiver, ESC, axle hubs are 12mm hex). Be careful of the battery, though. Mine got really hot the first time I ran it and I had to re-solder the leads. Also, the instructions are incomplete. Does anyone here who has one know how to set the speeds on the ESC or how to turn off reverse?

I wouldn't buy it unless you can get parts for it, Otherwise it is just a waste of money..........................

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
Its the same thing as the redcat tornado. www.redcatracing.com has parts for them. Also I was at a hobbytown last week and they started to carry the redcat racing cars. Dont know if all their stores do though.
I have the redcat Tornado XL (shockwave), its a nitro RTR buggy with the same suspension setup as that one and its very nice for the $$. But the front and rear shock tower are super weak and bend easily. They sell upgraded ones for $30 for the pair. Other than that it has been an awesome truck.
Not too shabby for $100 RTR nitro buggy
