I am looking into getting a second buggy and have been hearing alot about the SHO lately. Heard its an awesome buggy and can take some abuse either bashing or racing. ANyone here have one and can put some feedback or know of some reviews. I know one of the mags has an article about it but cant remember which one.

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...

Apparantly there is both a rtr and a pro version of the SHO. The engine that comes in the rtr is a Team Infinity which isn't that great. And in Denmark at least, it doesn't come with a starterbox.
The SHO is basically the same buggy as the Protech Enigma XS and this buggy goes amazingly well especially considering its low price. But go for the non-rtr version and put a better engine on it.
You should also make sure that you can get parts for it. From over here it seems a little difficult to find them.

typically if the rtr and the pro arent to different ill get the rtr and switch out radio but use up the crappy engine or sell it and replce with my own. The buggy does look great. Im also now looking into truggies since my club needs more truggy class drivers so might be passing on it and going for a hellfire or gs sutce.
