Default RE: Redcat Sandstorm Baja Buggy?

Oh okay cool thanks. Then that means it must be a good platform then for out of the box reliability. I see that you have the tornado...is it a good durable car? Based on what I've read so far it seems to be mixed about what it is, but I'm betting that its good for out of the box performance.
its good if you know little tricks. fuel tubing bits in the drive cups to center the dogbones, mounting the links and shocks on the inner most holes to reduce stress on the hubs and shock towers. There is a tips and tricks thread on here where I go into more detail on that stuff.

I havent owned a brushed epx, but the esc and motor are pretty standard fair for a brushed RTR.

The slower speed should mean even less breakage than I get on my tornado, and the tornado holds up very well....even tho it can do 40+mph.

currently, i have the tornado epx pro running, but I also have a volcano epx pro chassis that Ill be installing electronics in as well. Ive owned 2 volcanos before and liked them.

check this out, its a volcano epx pro in the vid:
