Rock Crusher, this is a blast, it will climb up a wall and flip on its top with no problem, sticky tires. Also will have some video this week.

So the MXT 2s comes with a bigger engine now? Sorry i have been out of the game once again, i remember when it had a .18, was wondering why they didnt put a bigger engine in.

Anyways i am chatting with a guy on youtube that is looking at a buggy, i am trying to get him to check out the himoto torpeda. What was the website again? himotousa.com? or was it something different? I told him to come check out this forum a few times but i dont think he has cause he keeps talking to me in youtube.

Will there be an RXT-2 roller? Also, will the RXB-2 be released in RTR form too?

Niiice, Eddie!
That RXB roller has MY Name written all over it! Might have to Get me one for XMAS!

Question on the Big Block MXT-2S....
I'm guessing that the big motor is mounted on a Chassis that is drilled differently from the small block?
So, if I want to do a conversion, I'll need to get a new Chassis?

P.S.
You KNOW Pede is Droolin' all over that Dual Lipo Buggy!....

they all look good... one thing that would make the crawler have more traction, get some sticky weights and stick them in the inside of the rims all around and make them heavy... it will give a lot of traction!

rxb-2 looks like a rxb-1 with c-hub front suspension...I like the shocks and am sure the would fit both buggies....cant tell by the pics if it has captured hinge pins...if it has e-clips himoto took a major step backwards...the rxb-1 is super fast and easy to work on...granted most the parts look different but i'd bet the chassis is very simular....as long as they keep the rxb-1 they would make both the c-hub and pbs fans happy...I'd like to see the offering of a better grade of aluim for the chassis, and I believe it would be a big step to let people know himoto has arrived...

So, what is going to be the big difference between the RXB-1 and the RXB-2? Just curious since I'm currently saving some cash for the RXB-1.
