True, BUT, there used to be a lot of biased opinions including my own. Nobody wants to admit that a buggy costing less than half as much as their own could be a contender. I also have been hearing, and looking, and hearing, and looking, and I've found that it's a quality piece of kit. IIRC, it comes with threaded shocks, a decent radio, a starter box, and is pretty dialed straight out of the box. As much as I hate to admit it, it seems to be a good buggy. Certainly an unbeleivable bargain. There's a guy around here who says that people are winning races with it at his local track. I think the old comments that it's a revamped PRP swift do not do it justice at all. I say go for it! And let us know what you think...
