Phillips screws? mines was mainly all allen key screws... but phillips aren't that bad either...just make sure you are using the right driver so you don't strip em.... let me know how it handles...

ORIGINAL: WPGguy

So I got it today....

I must say, its not to bad and comes with some CF parts and a nice chassis and CV's all around and center.

but... you get what you pay for


there are star screws all over the damn thing lol. Are allen key screws that much more? c'mon .. smarten up.


And mine came with the front axel not into the center diff cup..... think i could get those damn screws out without stripping 3 of them? no.

so i had to unscrew all the front bracing and with my g/f's help flex the piss out of it to fit the axle in. then screw it all back together. I don't care. it was still worth $79 + $25 shipping.

i'm going to put my collari .32 and servos in it tonight and run it tommorow.
it seems a bit on the heavy side. we'll see ^^

It prolly would be hard to land a roller. they sell like hotcakes. SupraSale will probably get more after the holidays.
the official Distributer is PRP (Powerracing).. if you want hop-ups look to the RD Logics SHO.. same buggy but with more alloy parts.

got one of them today.. just couldnt resist he posted one up for me and said he would be getting more on friday.. the price went up though 119.99 which was worth it to me im just going to transfer my axial .28 and all my electronics from my ultra comp into it.. should be much better than my ultra comp.. im going to put the ofna .26 back in the ultra comp and have 2 buggies to play with so when the ultra comp breaks i have something to use... thats the logic i used to convince myself to buy it reality is i just wanted one...
