Ive seen a Power Racing Swift 2 1/8 buggy in a lhs and just wanted to know if any of you guys have got one and what you think?

hey rooney, i got the swift last summer and contrary to many peoples opinions i like it, some people will say its not put together well the parts are weak but they fixed it all for the swift 2, mine has run well for the whole summer and even lived through a holiday on the beach for a week. all i have broken is front knuckle, cvj(both from bad landings) and a pullstart(filled with sand on the beach), other than that it has been a great buggy.
also what do you think of your dt-10, i got one as my first nitro but it just kept on braking?

Didnt like my dt10 at all, i gave up on it after a month

Hi

I purchased the Swift 2 in January 2005, did not like it one bit. I found that the ally parts are weak, the shocks pop on a heavy landing. The Shock towers bent and the chassis went pretty thin (at the rear end) after a a few runs and then it bent.

Also could not get parts off the shelf in my part of the UK

Engine was OK, but not up to racing. I traded it in in the end for a Hyper 7 PBS and now I am looking at the Mugen Prospec, which I should have got first time around and saved myself a packet.

Having said that I did like the look of the Buggy apart from the shell which did not fit well at all and let all the crap and mud inside.

the swift is a copy of a protech prp made the swift 2 and put some carbon on but its still a noob buggy imo and the plastic is so brittle the price may look good but you will need spares all the time

i think its fine but yea the dt-10 is a bit crap stuff breaks all the time but for the swift i think a good buggy.

go for a hyper7 tq sport rtr, its far superior to the swift ant about the same price.

I got my Hyper 7 TQ sport kit for $229.
Use my M8 instead of the Blazer Am
and I got a S-25 HPI spare from my raptor(PRP are Weak!!!!!), regular servo for now.
