currently the ones in the warehouse are go .21...the ones that will arive to restock will be sh.21....I think either engine will power them nicely...I''ve heard really good things about go engines...I have sh.28s'' and am quite pleased with them, therefore .21 sh should be a nice engine aswell....I would like to know what bodies will fit these buggies

How does the Torpeda PRO stack up against a stock RXB-1. I was on the himotoracing.com site and they had an article that RCDriver (I think) had done on the Torpeda PRO and the editor was very impressed for what he got in regards to price. He gave the buggy high marks in all categories and said that it would be a competetive buggy on the track. I don't see a Torpeda PRO on the himotoracingusa.com site, is this version not offerred through the U.S. distributors? Obviously we're slow at work and I have too much time to research this stuff. LOL!

I own both....buy the rxb-1...it is a much better buggy...the torpeda is a nice basher but you would be way more competitive with the rxb-1 if you were to race....and oh by the way...the rxb-1 is freakin tuff...it can prolly out bash the torpeda also...so yeah between the rxb-1 and torpeda it is a no brainer
