And as you can see it comes with a clear body with a white wing that can be dyed a dif color but i left it white. That's about all for what's in the box! As you see in the one pic that it's pretty much just the chassis, the battery tray and receiver box, servo mounts, are all in a bag in the box. The Reason they do that is actually because it's easier to mount the servo/ESC/Receiver and motor with it all off! You mount the ESC on the battery tray, then the ESC wire that runs to the receiver clips to the underside of the battery tray and then up through this little wire holder over the Servo mount and then into the radio box. So like i said it's easier to wait until you have everything even though it kills me too LOL

And today i ordered the motor: Tacon 2150kv. Some paint for the body, Diff oils, wire protecters, heat shrink , and some other stuff.

I have a HW Xerun ESC that i'm going to use with a Futaba Servo I already have also.

I will have more pics up as it comes along!

wouldn't recommend dying wings
I've done it on my X1 CRT and after 1 flip the wing looked like complete crap.

Nice man. I've thought about one of these, but never had the mindset to grab one. Let us know how you like it.

Very nice. I'm interested to hear what you have to say about it. Looks like a really well made platform. Are you going to race it or bash it... or both?

I am just going to be bashing for now. Just cause also is that i have to find a track nearby me LOL

And I've heard many times about this Buggy is that for the price it's real good, mostly for bashing and decent for racing! Like just by looking at the buggy you can tell that (me being used to Mostly Traxxas parts and all) that the plastics on this thing are just so Beefy and stong looking (which the stength is going too be tested LOL) but just without a lot of the tunability that the higher end ones have. I haven't actually seen the higher end ones but i know this buggy still has a TON of tuning options. But, there is some things that are plastic on it that could/should be aluminum. Which there is upgrades to fix most of the weak spots. But all in all i love the thing, Haven't driven it yet but... LOL

Yep tacon 2000kv motor and HW 150amp. I just can't toss $300 into a castle or tekin system or Orion sytem. I'm not trying to squeeze every ohm of performance out of it anyway... What diff oil are you going to run in your center diff after the grease that comes in it "expires" so to speak.

Sure looks a lot like the Thunder Tiger ST-1.

Looking forward to hearing how much you like it, Pyro.
