Default M1-B ?

I just purchased a Team Magic M1-B for 405.00 nib. Was just wondering what are others thoughts on this buggy, anyone have any time driving one?

I think there a joke, they aren't winning all around the world. Ugly too.

You have already bought the buggy, so go out and race it! Who cares what people think it looks like. This is a hobby, if you like the buggy go out there and represent! I have never driven one (or even seen one in action) and I personally don't like how it looks, but I'm not going to knock it. They may not be winning big races but that doesn't mean that they are a joke. It took the AE8 awhile to put up it's first major win and Team Associated has some of the best drivers in the world and deep pockets for racing support! I doubt that Team Magic can invest the same amount of money that Team Associated invests into winning races. At the professional level, it's all about who can throw the most money at their race programs and who can afford the best drivers in the world to race for them. You give Ryan Mansfield a stock Duratrax Raze and I bet he can still place in the A-Mains at almost any race! I would go out there and prove everyone wrong by dominating at my club races (or at least that's what I would try to do ). Have fun and be proud to be different!

DO NOT OPEN THE BOX! Turn around and return it and get the Xray XB8 EC or the Mugen MBX5R. The parts are frikkin expensive and you have no online support. Hardly anyone uses them so you'll be stuck on the track when you don't have a spare. Why do you think you got it for that low o a price. Heck so I won't sound biased, get the Losi 8ight, they're everywhere you go.

Bottom line is, you get what you pay for..and that buggy ain't worth a happy meal. Sorry.

Please tell me where you got that thing from for that low of a price. Everywhere i look for a low price has them for $570-$600.
I been looking at this buggy for awhile and i definatly think its a possiblility that its design will be copyed by other top manufactuers in the buggy scene. It has potential in the hands of a very skilled driver to win the big races just as easy as kyosho has been dominating them. The thing has a lower CG than any kit buggy that i seen, looks like a unique buggy Heres building tips/ review on the buggy.
