Default RE: Need help on choosing a 1/8 Nitro Buggy

As for DrDremel, it would be obvious that if you don't like Mugen, then you would hate Caster. That is like saying you hate a Yukon Denali because it reminds you of a Tahoe and you own a Durango.

As for a chassis plate bending, we did have 3 people taco their chassis plates and we replaced them. I think it was because of the angle of the bends for the batt trays being not enough on the first batch.

As for the fire. The only Caster I know of was in Florida and was because of an incorrectly installed Speedpassion system. We have had 3 of our rtr fusions come back with smoked escs and they ere replaced under warranty. I am not sure if it was because they got shorted out on the plate over the center diff or if the motor was getting too hot and taking it out. Either way, the esc was not made by Caster and it was covered for those customers. We have since changed motors and have not had any issues since.

We also have new radio systems. I agree the original ones were not very good and we now proudly chalk it up as another problem solved, but I think it shouldn't have been one to begin with.
