Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

who has one of the sunfire electric buggies and what do you think of it?

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

well, i guess i'll just have to let ya'll know how i like mine when i get it tommorow...

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

it doesn't look that good at all.

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

dont say that man, thats a little on the ruff side, hey they say you get what you pay for. i have seen them, they look cool and they have alot of alloy on it and it looks good. but dont expect ultimate reliability and performance.

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

I'd avoid it.

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

It reminds me of the redcat tornado epx...

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

Knowing the way the industry works it probably IS the same vehicle lol. Which isnt praise.

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

ok...does anyone actually HAVE one of these??

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

most likely not.

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

I have never heard of it before you made this thread. If your looking for a cheap 4wd buggy, go with the academy sb rtr.

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

Do you have any pics or a link to the buggy?

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

google it

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

put a mamba in it!:)

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

I wouldn't buy it unless you can get parts for it, Otherwise it is just a waste of money..........................

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

well u can get parts for it and for what i paid for it im pretty impressed. sure its a little slow but i had planned on switching out the motor asap anyway! i wasnt looking for a race ready buggy, i would have bought one if i was...

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

post some pics and a vid.

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

i will soon...i just cant get over the fact that this thing only cost $100!!

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

Hmm, I don't see anything so very wrong with it's design.. looks like a heavily built 1/8th scaled down to 1/10th... so yeah it might be slow.. but then my Feigao 9L on 3s would take care of that....... :D And then not crashing and needing parts will be greatly needed...

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

I've got one. It does looks an awful lot like the Redcat Tornado. The first one that I got (http://www.nitrorcx.com) was broken, but the replacement one they sent works fine. It's a lot of fun for $100. Parts are modular (servos, receiver, ESC, axle hubs are 12mm hex). Be careful of the battery, though. Mine got really hot the first time I ran it and I had to re-solder the leads. Also, the instructions are incomplete. Does anyone here who has one know how to set the speeds on the ESC or how to turn off reverse?

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

Yeah I agree. I'll stick with my B44. Nice looking car though for the price, can't beat it for a RTR.:D

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

i got one and it's fast in my standard, they even have upgrades for em now and i am plannin to fix it up w/ alum parts, change the motors and esc, i think my car will be better than most name brand once i soup it up, it cost much cheaper for me :D

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

Any idea how to set the ESC? Where do you find hop - up parts?

RE: Exceed Sunfire buggy
 

Its the same thing as the redcat tornado. www.redcatracing.com has parts for them. Also I was at a hobbytown last week and they started to carry the redcat racing cars. Dont know if all their stores do though.

I have the redcat Tornado XL (shockwave), its a nitro RTR buggy with the same suspension setup as that one and its very nice for the $$. But the front and rear shock tower are super weak and bend easily. They sell upgraded ones for $30 for the pair. Other than that it has been an awesome truck.


Not too shabby for $100 RTR nitro buggy
