Just a quick note to ask What do you all think on "bazooka" for a firist RCbuggy....the spec looks good... Would be interested in the your thinking.

I wouldn't recommend it since it's made by an unknown company and is of unknown quality.
Furthermore there seems to be problems with getting spares.
Sofar I've only seen adverts for it on ebay and not all that is said in those adverts are true...

It is better to get a buggy that your local hobby shop deals with or one that you can see people use at a track near you.

Än advice could be to look at Hyper7 or HotBodies Lightning.

The bazooka is very similar to the lightning or mp7.5 but I would recomend a lightning if you are wanting something in the low price range. Take a look at ultimate hobbies they are selling the lightning rr for 289.95 but thats in the US i'm not sure what you can get it for in the UK.

Since you already own one, you might want to investigate the parts situation. All things break and you might have a tall mountain to climb in the parts department. Let us know.

Hi All


I have had my HSP Bazooka for just over 2 years now . It is my first "hobby Grade " r/c . There are several aluminum upgrade parts already installed and the Quality and construction seem to be good although I have nothing to compare it to . I believe the Bazooka name has been replaced by the Tornado . I just checked on eBay and there were over 200 replacement parts listed, and more fore the Tornado . They seem to be very popular in Australia .

I have not broken anything yet although the throttle servo has some play now . I have installed a rotor starter on the .21 SH engine . The enginestarts andrunsvery well.The supplied controller works well and hasdecent adjustability . I am impressed by my first off-road buggy . I hadgreat fun recently when it was being chased by alocalBull Mastiff .... D.J.

And now theres even a "very limited bonus offer": of the "Essential Guide to RC Cars" which is probably filled with the same info you can get out of an owners manual.

I forgot to mention the major reason that I bought the Bazooka . I purchased the buggy on an eBay auction . The company was just starting out and had a few "no reserve" auctions to attract customers (rcracingusa) . The buggy , shipped to my door with all taxes included , was $210.00 .I looked on eBay today and it seems that you can't get away without spending $400.00 or more for one now . .... D.J.

JQ, THE car RTR=$299.
KYOSHO MP7.5 NEO RTR $349.
Both great entry level buggies.(JQ is a bit better though).
