Well finally I got my Caster RacingK8T truggy in and all I can say is WOW! The quality of this thing is on par if not better than my Hyper ST Pro and Kyosho ST-RR. This is NOT a cheap imitation truggy by any means at all from the looks of it. From what I have heard this truggy has been doing pretty good in and around texas and stuff. This is the Pro Team kit which comes 80% assembled for you already. It comes with all of the aluminum upgrades for the shock towers, braces and hinge pin holders. Also comes with full CVD's for driveshafts and axles. Cannot wait to put it all together. Only negatives I can see is the tires which IMO SUCK! They are about as thin as a piece of paper and tall as hell but everybody upgrades anyways and I have a set of crimefighters to put on. Even though this truggy is assembled it comes with 2 sets of extra diff gaskets and shims and extra hinge pin holders for different degrees. Also comes with wheels, clutch bell, clutch and springs and fuel line. I have a bunch of pics so you guys can see it real good since there are no real good pics of this truggy anywhere. So here ya go! will be a couple of posts of pics probably.

It does remind of a OCM though. Otherwise, looks like a well built kit. Gotta give a report on how she runs.
They should be right? Not bad for 300 plus shipping I would say! I have yet to see a mugen up close and would like to so I can see the differences. I will be looking at alot of pics to see what they are. It does look a little like both the mugen and ocm but more like the mugen. Here are more pics of it more together. All I am putting together for tonight.
Only thing so far in the build that has to be addressed is when you assemble the shocks and install the small clip that holds the o-rings in, you have to bend the tab on it down flatter or it will rub the shock shaft.

Here are some pics of my Picco .28 with my Jammin JP-3 pipe. Still got a little more to do on the build. Waiting on my Hitec 5955 333oz servo and a hitec 645 for throttle.

slow? I have been using it for throttle for a couple of months and it is fine for me. Most people at the tracks I run on use them for throttle and brake. Hell, I even have a spektrum 590 servo in 2 of my other truggies and that is SLOW compared to the 645 but does the job for me. I know it is not as fast as the 100$$ throttle servos but just cannot justify spending that much for it. Just the steering because they take all the abuse and need to be strong.
