I'm glad to hear another person got this buggy, I think more should get it, its really tough. I have run about 8 tanks in mine and havent noticed weak servos, I think I read someplace that Robitronic upgraded them? No problems with the shocks, they seem to do pretty good. I did go and buy a Tower rechargable glow igniter, really nice, I recommend that one. Also got the 1600mah Duratrax receiver pack, fits better than the AA holder, I'll use servo extension cable to connect power and to recharge while its still in the buggy. I got the new Duratrax Onyx 200 charger that has the outlet to charge nitro receiver packs. I needed a new charger for my electric cars, so this one will be useful for both nitros and electrics. I would like to get the Baja truck body that they have on the new stadium truck, but can't find it available separately, any ideas? What would be a good set of basher tires with big hard treads? I kinda liked the old style but my buggy came with the mini-pin style, I'm sure theyll wear pretty fast. On my last run, the engine quit and I thought it was outta fuel, but just had a stick stuck in the spur gear..but no damages and this thing has really impressed me so far, its my first 1/8 scale.
